## About the role

Embed with a portfolio company. Sit with the people doing the work, learn how the business runs, and find the problem worth solving. Prototype fast. Get to a working prototype in 48 hours, not a slide deck.

## What they're looking for

- Experienced builder. 4+ years building and shipping production software, with real ownership of outcomes
- Strong and fast. Python, SQL, APIs, and data pipelines, comfortable building with LLMs (RAG, evals, prompting, agents)
- Full-stack enough to ship. You can put a usable app in front of a non-technical team, not just a backend
- Strong judgment. You can diagnose an ambiguous business problem, talk to operators and executives, and decide what is worth building
- High agency. You go onsite, navigate a messy company, and make things work without waiting for a spec
- NYC-based and happy to travel to customer sites
