What they're looking for

  • A track record of building and shipping automations, internal tools, or AI-powered workflows that delivered measurable business impact
  • Strong fluency with modern AI tooling (LLMs, agents, RAG, prompt design) and comfort wiring together APIs, scripts, and no-code/low-code platforms
  • A business-first mindset: you start with the problem and the user, not the technology, and can sharpen a non-technical partner's problem definition through the right questions
  • Resourcefulness and a bias to action: you ship a working v1 in days, not months, and iterate from there
  • An instinct for scale, knowing when something is good enough as a one-off versus when it needs to be built to serve the whole org
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical audiences and coach others to build their own solutions
