Our technology enables industry-defining enterprises like Avis Budget Group, Block’s Cash App and Square, Chime, Oura Health, and Hunter Douglas to deploy AI agents that power personalized, deeply satisfying interactions across voice, chat, email, SMS, and every other channel.

We’re proud to be backed by world‑class investors who share that vision, including a16z, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, Coatue, and Index Ventures, along with many others.

We’re an in‑office company, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and velocity. Our values — Just Get It Done, Invent What Customers Want, Winner’s Mindset, and The Polymath Principle — shape how we work and grow as a team.

You will continuously improve how we deliver by leveraging AI tools, automation, and strong operational design to increase efficiency and reduce time to value.

• Lead enterprise AI Agent implementations from kickoff through rollout, driving execution, adoption, and business outcomes.
• Design implementation strategies tailored to each customer’s goals and technical environment.
• Build and own the Implementation playbook, including the processes and standards that enable scalable, high‑quality deployments.
• Improve speed, quality, and consistency across implementations by identifying bottlenecks and introducing better systems, tooling, and automation.
• Partner cross‑functionally to scope requirements, configure solutions, and feed insights back into Product.

Your background looks something like this

• 4+ years in implementations, consulting, onboarding, project management, or customer‑facing technical roles.
• Experience leading complex software or AI implementations with measurable results.
• Technical fluency with SaaS platforms, integrations, and APIs.
• Strong operational instincts with experience building scalable processes or playbooks.
• Clear communicator who can work effectively with both executives and operators.
• Highly organized and comfortable bringing structure to ambiguity in a fast‑paced environment.

Even better if you have

• Experience deploying AI, automation, or customer service platforms.

• Experience building a new function or operating model from the ground up.
• Power user of AI tools who uses them to transform workflows, increase leverage, and drive meaningful efficiency gains.
