## About the role

AI isn’t a strategic initiative for us; it’s how we work. Our bar is transformation, not adoption. The Applied AI team is an internal accelerator: a small pod of forward-deployed builders who find the work where AI changes the outcome, build it with the team that owns that work, and hand it off once it runs. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You've personally built and shipped agentic systems with real users in the last 12 months. Not evaluated or piloted: shipped. Be ready to walk us through one (or a side project): the architecture, what failed, what it cost, and how you knew it worked
- You can tell us how you'd measureAI effectiveness. "Everyone has a license" isn't an answer. We want your opinion on the metric, and on what it would get wrong
- You'd rather grow output than headcount. You've changed how you and your engineers work because of AI, and raised your expectations of the team to match
- You've managed engineers and still build. 7+ years of software engineering, including 2+ years managing, on a team small enough that you stayed in the code
- A scrappy generalist with cross-functional instincts. You've sat inside a sales, marketing or operations team's workflow, understood it, and helped them adopt something new
- You tie engineering work to business outcomes like pipeline, revenue, time saved or cost avoided, and report on them clearly
