About the role
- Turning human judgment into compute isn't one project you finish.
- It's a standing hunt for leverage that resets every month a new model ships - what was impossible in January is a Tuesday afternoon by June.
- Someone has to sit on that frontier, inside the actual work, and convert what just became possible into something running in production before anyone else notices the gap.
Responsibilities
- Build fast. AI agents, internal tools, workflow automations - prototype in days, ship in weeks. Prototype Monday, ship Tuesday, measure Wednesday.
- 2+ years building software, with a track record of shipping internal tools or automations end-to-end.
- You measure yourself in business outcomes: "conversion went up 15%," not "the feature shipped." You get energy from impact, not from elegant code for its own sake.
- If you'd rather own a narrow scope from a distance, this isn't the seat.
Requirements
- You can walk into a room of non-technical operators, explain why a number moved, and have them trust you.
Nice to have
- LLMs, AI agents, or voice AI
- a background in operations, sales tech, or workflow automation
- prior startup experience.
- The people who want this read that as the draw.
Compensation
- $140k-$200k
Benefits
- Uber commuter benefits; breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided; snacks and coffee stocked; free gym membership; health, dental, and vision.
- Bonus: LLMs, AI agents, or voice AI
Company info
- We move at the pace that produced 100x in a year and ~1,000 new customers a month, and a forward-deployed role lives closest to that pace - you'll be in the work, not adjacent to it.
