Job description

Position:AI Software Engineer

Working Hours:US Business Hours

Hiring Company:We are a 10 year old remote staffing business with a fully remote team of 100+ employees. We started as a customer service agency, but have leveraged our client experience and technical acumen to become the industry's first AI empowered (human) virtual assistant service.

About the Role: We’re seeking an AI Software Engineer to build a multi-agent system that integrates AI Agents into business teams. You’ll work directly with our CEO (a highly technical domain expert, but non-coder) to turn a clear vision and technical spec into a live system. This is a strategic project to be spun out of a 10-year-old remote staffing business with over 100 clients—giving us the ability to innovate with you and the ability to invest in growth at launch.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Planning - Collaborate to translate vision and initial technical specs into a development plan that you are confident in building.
2. Decisions - As part of developing the plan, make architecture and strategy decisions that may need to change from initial spec.
3. Process - Execute best practice development process against the plan, leveraging your development experience and AI coding.
4. Collaboration - You will be primarily building, but collaboration on product strategy and project management will be important.

Experience based: ( * are required)

1. * Strong programming skills (without AI) - real-world experience writing and shipping production code
2. * Deep experience with AI-powered software development - primarily using Cursor in a systematic and scalable way.
3. * Technical experience building on OpenAI APIs and multi agent SDKs (CrewAI, Vercel, and recently OpenAI Agents SDK).
4. Experience working with cross functional cofounding teams - including non coders that are involved in technical work.
5. Proven ability to build for short AND long term - high-leverage, modular systems, balancing technical debt vs momentum.

Mindset based:

1. All In on AI Development - you already build with AI, and you’re pushing the edges of what’s possible.
2. You Know The AI Space - You’re listening to AI podcasts and are active on X, testing and applying new insights regularly.
3. Obsessively Innovating with AI - always refining how you use AI tools to reduce friction and increase quality.
4. Curious and Optimistic - You approach novel problems and new technology with excitement, not skepticism.
5. Entrepreneurial - You love building, but you love seeing what you’ve built drive results. You thrive in the fast-moving startup environment and get energy from the grind of building something quickly.

This is a 3 month contract role, with the opportunity to move to full time employment in the future.

Notes:

Our CEO will be heavily involved in hiring, with the support of our recruitment team. Please expect communication from multiple parties.
