If you’re excited by the idea of building AI products that solve messy, real-world problems - not just demos or internal automations - you’ll thrive. YOU WILL: * Ship quickly and iterate constantly - You’re comfortable operating in fast cycles of discovery and delivery.

Building AI applications that improve essential public services excites you. IDEALLY, YOU’VE: * Built and shipped successful products - You’ve led product discovery and delivery alongside engineers and designers, taking products from idea to real user impact, but we’re open to hearing from people from other backgrounds. Moving fast, being ambitious, and finding creative ways to turn ideas into real-world impact are the most important qualities. * Worked with and understand technical systems - You’re comfortable working closely with engineers on complex systems - ideally with experience in AI, automation, or developer-facing tools. A technical background (engineering, ML, data science) is a bonus. If that sounds like the kind of environment where you do your best work, we’d love to hear from you.
