About Us

We are a technology services company dedicated to helping organizations build and deploy cutting-edge AI solutions. From generative AI and custom LLM integrations to predictive analytics and intelligent automation, we work across industries to bring real-world AI applications to life. Our projects combine deep technical expertise with hands‑on client collaboration to solve high‑impact problems.

Role Overview

We are seeking a founding Partner AI Deployment Engineer to serve as the technical counterpart for our OpenAI partnership.

You will work directly with business executives to uncover high‑value opportunities, then translate those ideas into compelling technical experiences.

This is a hands‑on individual contributor role for someone who can move comfortably between code, executive conversations, and technical workshops. Success means OpenAI teams and their customers trust Eliza because you can connect business priorities to credible technical possibilities — and that confidence turns into valuable customer opportunities.

• Translate business problems into credible AI concepts and working technical experiences.

• Partner with OpenAI teams to prepare for customer meetings, events, and one‑to‑many programs.

4. Scale What Works

• Turn successful ideas into reusable workshop assets, technical patterns, and playbooks.

• Transition qualified delivery work smoothly to Eliza's AI Deployment Managers and Forward Deployed Engineers.

Qualifications

Required

• Strong hands‑on experience building AI applications, plugins, agents, or API integrations.

• Experience in a customer‑facing engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, or forward‑deployed role.

• Ability to establish credibility with business executives while going deep with engineering teams.

• Strong product and commercial judgment, with an instinct for what will create value and confidence in a room.

• Comfort operating independently and turning ambiguous ideas into working demonstrations.

• Willingness to travel for customer workshops, OpenAI events, and in‑person programs.

Preferred

• Experience building on the OpenAI platform (e.g., ChatGPT apps and plugins, Assistants, or agent frameworks).

• Experience creating workshop content, technical enablement programs, or one‑to‑many demonstrations.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation.

• Equity options in a growing AI services company.

• Flexibility to work across industries and problem domains.

• A collaborative, mission‑driven team passionate about the real‑world impact of AI.
