Improve agent output and content quality across social channels and article writing, using evaluation systems to measure results.

Help hire and lead the AI team as the organization grows.

What We're Looking For

At least 3 years of experience building production machine learning or AI systems, including recent hands-on work shipping LLM products or agents.

Experience designing evaluations and learning from outcome signals at scale in search, ranking, recommendations, or related domains.

Proficiency in TypeScript, including Next.js, and Python for data analysis, evaluations, and model work, with the ability to ship end to end.

Experience building feedback loops and improving production AI infrastructure, agent architecture, or model strategy.

Search, ranking, or AI answer engine experience, particularly involving Google, is valuable.

Experience owning and shipping work in a startup or small team; marketing or go-to-market experience is a plus, as are recommendation systems, algorithms, and reinforcement learning.

Strong technical fundamentals demonstrated through relevant work, research, or comparable accomplishments.
