Fix it, write a script that heals a fresh box, and build a small read-only MCP tool so an AI agent can check on it. 60 to 90 minutes, unpaid, no LeetCode. If that sounds like fun, read on.We're a small and growing AI and Microsoft 365 consultancy in Franklin, TN. We build AI agents and automation for small and mid-sized businesses, and harden and run the systems underneath: Microsoft 365 tenants, SharePoint, and Linux boxes. We're AI-agnostic and use what fits the client, mostly Claude Code, the Microsoft 365 stack with Copilot and Copilot Studio, Gemini and Gemini Studio, and Oracle OBI. The role is about 60% agent development (MCP servers, Claude Code, Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Gemini) and 40% Ubuntu administration (systemd, Docker, patching, backups, monitoring). PeopleSoft experience is a plus. You'll work directly with clients, so explaining things clearly to a small-business owner matters as much as the code. Early-career and career-switchers welcome.We expect you to use AI every day. What we hire for is knowing when it's wrong, so one of our three application questions asks about a time it fooled you.To apply, email your resume to [e-mail] with short answers to: a time a client or boss made an unreasonable demand and how you handled it; a time an AI confidently gave you a wrong answer you followed, and how you caught it; and something you've built with AI that you still use. Work samples get strong preference. We read every application ourselves and reply to everyone, so please write your answers yourself.Process: email application, a 45-minute video call where you walk us through something you've built, then a conversation about the role.Remote within the US only, Central Time business hours. Must be legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship, now or in the future. No recruiters or agencies, please.https://github.com/Stratirus/ops-agent-challengeQuestions: [e-mail]
