About the role

We believe AI is a force multiplier - not a side experiment, not a siloed function, but a capability we are embedding at every level and in every role across the company. We are hiring an AI Fellow to work directly with our co-founders as an in-house AI guide and builder. One seat. Three months. Real impact.

What they're looking for
- You are deeply curious about AI and its real-world applications
- You think in systems and frameworks, not just prompts
- You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and experimenting quickly
- You can clearly explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
- You can operate at both the technical and strategic level — building something in the morning and briefing founders in the afternoon
- Strong preference for a Winter 2026 college graduate
