## About the role

Instawork is on a mission to create meaningful economic opportunities for skilled hourly professionals in communities around the globe. Our AI-powered labor marketplace helps local businesses scale, and enables global technology companies to push the frontiers of robotics and AI. Backed by world-class investors like Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock, Y Combinator, and others, we’re looking for exceptional talent to reimagine the way the world works.

## What they're looking for

- An early career professional , with 3+ years of work experience, who thrives in ambiguity and has a "whatever it takes" attitude to get a program off the ground
- Someone with a strong sense of ownership , comfortable taking a workflow or program from end to end, rather than just a piece of it, and pushing it forward without being told every step
- A strong communicator who can move fluidly between talking to users on the ground, robotics partners, and internal engineering/leadership
- An AI-first builder's mindset : when you spot a repetitive or manual workflow, your instinct is to systematize or automate it, using AI tools and scripting where useful
- A Problem-Solver who is organized, detail-oriented, and digs to the root of an issue rather than settling for a surface-level fix
- A fast learner excited to operate at the frontier of robotics and physical AI, and energized by scaling something from 0 to 1
