Job description

• Works closely with: PM, Sr. Director of Data & Analytics, and our AI/BI consulting partner

You'll help build our technology function as we grow. You're someone who lives in AI tools, not just at work but in your own life. You've already automated the tedious parts of your day because you enjoy finding the tool or workflow that makes something unnecessary. You'll bring that same instinct here: help keep our tech stack running, chip away at tech debt, and turn manual work into automated work.

What you will do

• Help maintain our core tech stack and system integrations, keeping systems running smoothly and reliably
• Work through existing tech debt with our Data & Analytics lead and AI partner, shipping fixes that create real momentum
• Serve as the point of contact for technical issues and access requests

AI Tooling & Automation

• Take findings from an ongoing technical audit and help turn them into working tools
• Pilot AI tools and agents against real workflows, and help scale what works
• Spot manual, repetitive work across the org and help build or source the fix

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work across all teams, not just ops, to find where reporting and administrative work is eating time, and build the automation that gives it back
• Partner with the data/analytics function so automation and reporting are built on the same foundation
• Build tooling that supports the PM function's visibility

Success looks like

• Tech debt backlog shrinking against a defined roadmap
• Security basics in place and documented
• A track record of testing new tools fast and giving a clear read on what's worth keeping

You might be a fit if

• You have 0-3 years in IT, automation, or a scrappy startup environment (internships and projects count)
• You use AI tools daily, professionally and personally, and can point to specific things you've built or automated because you wanted the time back
• You've worked with ERP systems (Cin7, NetSuite, or similar), or you pick up new systems quickly and love the challenge
• You default to shipping a working version now and iterating from there
