At a large company, you’d spend your first year in onboarding, code reviews, and owning a small corner of a massive system. Here, you’ll be designing and shipping AI-powered applications that real people use — within your first month. You’ll work directly with senior engineers and business leaders. You’ll see the impact of your work immediately. And you’ll build a skillset that combines AI engineering with real-world business systems — which is where the industry is heading whether people realize it or not.

Job Description
Role Description
We’re not building the next social media app. We’re building the AI-powered systems that run a real company — and we need engineers who grew up thinking in AI to help us do it.
Our small engineering team is on a mission to replace legacy business tools with purpose-built, AI-first applications. We’re talking about systems that don’t just use AI as a feature — they’re designed around it from the ground up.
What we’re actively building:
- An AI-first CRM that understands context, not just contacts
- An AI Sales Agent that can research, draft, and follow up autonomously
- An AI-powered SOW & RFP writing engine
- A custom AI ticketing system where users chat with an AI product manager to gather requirements, write PRDs, and even generate code for review
- Agentic workflows that handle complex business processes with and without human-in-the-loop
This is real. This is in production, actively being built or designed. You won’t be waiting around for a roadmap — you’ll be shaping it.
What You’ll Do:
- Design and build AI-powered internal applications from the ground up
- Create agentic workflows and LLM-driven automation that solve real business problems
- Integrate AI systems with platforms like NetSuite, Salesforce, Zendesk, and the Microsoft ecosystem
- Write production code — primarily in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Vue.js (with some React)
- Own features and applications end-to-end: design, build, ship, maintain
- Work directly with business users to understand what they actually need (not what a ticket says they need)
- Apply AI responsibly — with validation, guardrails, and fallback paths
Qualifications
- Demonstrable experience building applications that use LLMs or AI models — not just calling an API, but designing systems around them (side projects, school projects, and personal work absolutely count)
- Experience with agentic workflows, RAG architectures, or AI automation pipelines
- Strong fundamentals in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Ability to learn new technologies quickly — we’re polyglot and pragmatic
- A bias toward shipping over perfecting
Requirements
- A GitHub/portfolio with working AI projects — especially agentic loops, multi-step workflows, or creative mobile/web apps that go beyond basic chat interfaces
- Experience with prompt engineering, function calling, tool use, or fine-tuning
- Familiarity with Vue.js, React, or modern frontend frameworks
- Any exposure to business systems (ERP, CRM, ticketing) — even if you hated it
- You’ve built something that people use
Benefits
- Small team, high autonomy
- Senior engineers who will mentor you and review your work
- Fast independence as you prove you can deliver
- AI-first mindset with tools in our own development workflow
- Fully remote work environment
