  • Measure and demonstrate quantifiable impact on support volume, GTM acceleration, and operational efficiency
  • Collaborate with support, GTM, and engineering teams to identify high-leverage workflows to automate
  • Ship, measure, and iterate on automation based on real-world usage patterns

What they're looking for

  • Agent development and orchestration across multiple frameworks
  • Backend systems architecture and end-to-end thinking
  • LLM/agentic systems in production environments
  • Evaluation frameworks and data-driven validation
  • Systems integration and API design
  • Security and permission modeling for agent access
  • Support or GTM operations domain knowledge
  • Software reliability and monitoring practices
