About the role

A good-looking front end is nearly free, AI will generate a slick dashboard from a one-line prompt, and it will look impressive in a meeting.
We hire people who can tell the difference between something that looks like it works and something that works, and who are drawn to the second.

Responsibilities

Enable Departments and Build: Build AI-powered applications, agents, and automations for teams across the company on our cloud platforms, with real backends, infrastructure, and integrations to real data and systems, for properly hardened, compliant, well-hosted, secure-by-default solutions, so departments don't ship insecure ad-hoc vibe-coded tools themselves.
Educate & Set Standards: Teach teams to use AI safely and effectively for their own work, and set company-wide standards for good, safe AI usage.
Govern: Own AI governance, visibility, and inventory
Craft Reliable AI: Build agents and workflows that actually work, design tool use and MCP integrations, manage context and memory, and validate quality with evaluative loops.
Low-ego and intellectually humble. You explain technical ideas to non-technical colleagues without condescension, you say "I don't know, let's find out," and you own your mistakes. Strong opinions, loosely held.
Values-aligned and high-agency. You collaborate across engineering, security, legal, and business teams with integrity, and you navigate ambiguity while keeping everyone with you.
Govern: Own AI governance, visibility, and inventory; monitoring and logging of AI usage; and prompt- and output-level data-loss-prevention to protect sensitive data, including customer data.
This is not the right role for the arrogant know-it-all. If your instinct is to show off, dismiss "dumb" questions, or optimize for looking impressive over actually helping people succeed, this isn't the fit, no matter how strong your technical skills.
Teach teams to use AI safely and effectively for their own work, and set company-wide standards for good, safe AI usage.
Own AI governance, visibility, and inventory; monitoring and logging of AI usage; and prompt- and output-level data-loss-prevention to protect sensitive data, including customer data.

Requirements

Working knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of different AI models and platforms, and how to match the right model to a task
We care about what you've built and what you can do.
You'll thrive here if you are:

Nice to have

Experience with AI governance, DLP, monitoring/logging, or guardrails for AI usage
A security background (application, cloud, or data protection)
Experience teaching, enabling, or supporting non-technical teams
If this role is based in the United States, it requires access to export-controlled information or items that require "U.S. Person" status.
Kind and patient by default.
You meet people where they are, answer the "basic" question as generously as the hard one, and never make someone feel small for not knowing something.
You stay with people through the problem instead of handing off a fix and making it someone else's problem.
Low-ego and intellectually humble.
