The team will modernize legacy integrations onto Azure and build AI-enabled applications that replace manual work across the business.

What We Offer

  • Leadership of key technology solutions with a direct impact on strategic direction
  • A virtual, collaborative work environment focused on AI and automation
  • Flexibility of a hybrid or fully remote work arrangement
  • Competitive annual salary with performance-based incentives
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous paid time off policy
  • Opportunities for professional growth and career advancement, including mentorship and training

  • Advance our field operations application built on Salesforce, working with our offshore Salesforce development partner on features, releases, and platform health
  • Take applications from business requirements through prototype, pilot, and production
  • Write code, review pull requests, and prototype new solutions alongside the team
  • Set and enforce standards for source control, code review, testing, CI/CD, and technical documentation
  • Produce a solution architecture document for each new build covering design, security, and cost to run

AI and Automation

  • Build AI-enabled applications and agents that replace manual work in operations, finance, and HR
  • Apply large language models to document, image, and audio processing, data summarization, and in-app assistants
  • Drive process automation across the business, using RPA where it is the right fit
  • Lead the team's use of AI coding tools to speed up delivery without lowering code quality
  • Measure AI and automation solutions on accuracy, cost, and time saved once they are in production

  • Salesforce development experience, including Apex and Salesforce APIs
  • 2+ years building AI-enabled applications with large language models, such as agents, assistants, retrieval-based search, or document processing
  • Daily use of AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor
  • Experience building and supporting system integrations using REST APIs and ETL tools such as Azure Data Factory
  • Track record of leading development teams that deliver on schedule, including offshore or contract developers

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
