What we are looking for:

Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Take a fuzzy business question ("why did bookings dip last week?") and come back within the day with a decomposition, and a recommendation- not a dashboard.
  • Define the growth equation for a business line, pick the KPIs that matter, and be the person the company trusts when those numbers move
  • Build automations that replace manual work: agentic workflows, LLM pipelines, structured extraction, eval harnesses, internal tools people actually use every day
  • Ship prototypes in an afternoon with Claude Code / Cursor / Lovable, then decide which 20% to harden for production - and own that it stays up
  • Design evals before prompts. Argue with an LLM's output using data, not vibes
  • Own the data underneath: structuring, cleaning, pipelines, governance, cataloging. If the source is dirty, you fix the source
  • Sit with sales, ops, and support before you build anything. Understand the workflow, the pain point, and the pricing conversation well enough to be trusted in the room with a client or a partner.
