About Us

About the Role

As an AI Prompt & Automation Engineer, you’ll be the technical force powering AI innovation across multiple startups. Depending on your path, venture studio operator or startup co-founder, you’ll either support a portfolio of early-stage companies by shipping scalable automations, or co-found a new AI-native business from scratch.

In both cases, your job is to turn LLMs, APIs, and automation tools into real results, fast. This role blends deep prompt engineering, creative problem-solving, and high-speed technical execution.

What You'll Do

Venture Studio Track

  • Build and ship production-grade AI automations used across a portfolio of startups
  • Develop reusable prompt templates, automation libraries, and custom GPT workflows
  • Jump between companies to solve high-impact technical challenges quickly
  • Maintain and evolve an “AI Cookbook”: systematizing solutions to recurring problems

Evaluate, test, and implement the latest AI tools and platforms to stay ahead

Startup Co-Founder Track

  • Partner with a business-oriented co-founder to launch a new AI-native company
  • Own all technical architecture, infrastructure, and implementation decisions
  • Build from zero to one, MVP, iterations, integrations, and full-stack deployment
  • Create defensibility through smart use of AI, automation, and infrastructure
  • Potentially earn significant equity and long-term ownership in a venture

What You Bring

  • Strong experience with LLMs (e.g. GPT-4, Claude, open-source models) and prompt engineering
  • Experience building and maintaining production-grade AI systems
  • Proficiency in Python, JS/TS, or similar, with the ability to build and deploy full workflows
  • Familiarity with APIs, webhooks, vector databases, and automation platforms (Zapier, LangChain, etc.)
  • Ability to work independently, switch contexts, and move quickly without much oversight
  • Clear technical communication and systematic thinking

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in startup environments, AI tooling, or no-code/low-code stack integrations
  • Prior experience launching AI-powered products or tools
  • Familiarity with frameworks like Lang Graph, Pinecone, LlamaIndex, or RAG architectures
  • Strong intuition for product and user experience

You're a Great Fit If You…

  • Ship real tools, not just demos
  • Can own an entire product or subsystem on your own
  • Love solving messy problems with clean code and smart automations
  • Thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and never wait to be told what to do
  • Are open to both career tracks: operator or co-founder
  • Are hungry for more than a job, you want a mission
