About this role
- Our operations, sales, and customer support teams run on workflows that were designed for humans — and many of them should no longer be
- Manual handoffs, repetitive processes, slow queues, and duct-taped integrations are costing us speed, accuracy, and money
- We’re hiring a Senior AI Engineer to fix that
- Your job is simple to describe and hard to do: find the inefficiencies across our business operations and replace them with AI-driven systems that are faster, smarter, and scalable

- You discover the problem, scope the solution, build it, deploy it, and measure the impact
- Design and ship AI-driven systems that replace manual labor
- These aren’t chatbot wrappers
- You’re building agentic workflows and orchestration layers that handle complex, multi-st...
