Job description

Bluevine is the largest small business banking platform in the U.S., redefining how entrepreneurs manage their money. We create modern financial solutions, from checking and lending to payments and beyond, designed to help small business owners grow, thrive, and take control of their financial future. Our best-in-class technology, advanced security, and deep understanding of the small business community give our customers the confidence to focus on what they do best.

Since 2013, we’ve supported more than 750,000 small businesses nationwide. Backed by leading investors like Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, 83North, and Citi Ventures, our 500+ person global team shares one mission: to give small businesses the financial tools they need to succeed.

We’re innovators driven by big ideas, collaboration, and real impact. Here, you’ll have the freedom to take ownership, grow your career, and make a difference for small business owners across America. Ready to shape what’s next?

We’re looking for a hands‑on AI builder to help Bluevine reinvent how work gets done across the company. In this role, reporting directly to R&D leadership, you’ll identify high‑friction, repetitive processes across the business and turn them into practical AI‑powered tools, automations, and workflows that drive real impact at scale. This highly technical, cross‑functional position is dedicated to enhancing the efficiency and productivity of non‑technical departments through practical automation and applied AI. You will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders—across go‑to‑market, operations, and corporate functions—to identify opportunities, define necessary solutions, and construct effective tools.

You will leverage a combination of software engineering expertise, strong product intuition, and a service‑oriented approach to develop and deliver practical solutions. These solutions will include AI workflows, internal agents, automation pipelines, Chrome extensions, scripts, and lightweight applications. A core part of your responsibility will be ensuring all development adheres to robust R&D and SDLC practices, resulting in solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and manageable over the long term.

• Partner with business stakeholders across the organization to identify repetitive, tedious, and high‑friction workflows that can be improved using AI and automation.
• Translate business problems into technical solutions, define implementation plans and success metrics, and choose the right tools and patterns for each use case.
• Apply software engineering and SDLC best practices to deliver reliable, secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions.
• Evaluate and select the right tools and patterns for each use case, including LLM workflows, agents, prompt‑based solutions, APIs, and scripting.
• Create reusable components, documentation, and standards, and measure impact through efficiency gains, adoption, and business outcomes.
• Measure solution impact through efficiency gains, time savings, adoption, quality improvements, and business outcomes.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, automation engineering, solutions engineering, or a similar hands‑on technical role.
• Experience with AI tools and platforms such as OpenAI, Gemini, Copilot, AI agents, LLM workflows, prompt engineering, retrieval workflows, and related evaluation methods.
• Experience working directly with non‑technical stakeholders and moving from ambiguous business needs to well‑scoped, well‑executed solutions.
• Strong communication skills, high ownership, service orientation, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, retrieval workflows, and evaluation of LLM‑based systems.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience supporting GTM, operations, support, finance, or other business functions through technical solutions.
• Experience working in regulated environments or in organizations where reliability, maintainability, and governance matter.
• BSc/BA in Computer Science or related field or equivalent practical experience.

This role is also eligible to earn annual performance‑based incentive compensation in the form of a cash bonus. At Bluevine, we recognize the importance of fair and competitive compensation. Exact compensation may vary based on a variety of factors, including your experience, skills, and qualifications, as well as market trends.
