- Build and deploy AI agents and other micro-services/tools that support operational and community use cases.
- Own our backend architecture, with an emphasis on scalability, automation, and velocity.
- Integrate third-party platforms (CRM, ESP, forms, etc.) and unify customer data across systems.
- Support internal tools and workflows to help the team move faster with fewer resources.
Requirements
You Might Be a Fit If You
- Have deep experience with modern data stacks (e.g., dbt, Snowflake, Postgres, javascript and Python).
- Are comfortable working in AI-native environments, rapidly deploying tools like GPT, or custom agents.
- Have used tools like Cursor or Replit to ship product faster.
- Enjoy working cross-functionally with product, growth, and ops teams.
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy owning problems end-to-end.
- Are excited by the idea of working at the intersection of community, AI, and systems design.
