Job Summary
Conduct end-to-end AI transformations inside operating companies, moving from discovery and scoping to building, shipping, and iterating until business impact is measurable. Design production agentic systems for tool-calling workflows, LLM-powered document processing, and intelligent routing within regulated, high-stakes environments. Integrate with legacy systems, CRMs, and compliance platforms, managing auth, permissions, and data constraints to build reusable platform primitives that compound across the portfolio. Collaborate directly with management teams, front-line operators, and business leadership to understand their world and earn their trust while translating human knowledge work into AI compute. Travel to operating companies for meaningful stretches to work alongside operators and investors, shaping how whole industries run on Sequence's core platform.
Required Qualifications
- Customer obsession. Has worked directly with users, changed direction based on what they learned, and genuinely cares about solving real problems for real people.
- Demonstrated track record of impressive accomplishments, whether academic, professional, or entrepreneurial
- Can operate in ambiguity. Comfortable walking into a business with no roadmap and figuring out what to build first by talking to people, not reading docs.
- Raw horsepower and tenacity. Will run through walls to deliver results.
- Proven ability to build from 0 to 1
- Strong communicator who can explain a technical architecture to a CEO and translate a front-line operator's frustration into a system design
- Willing to travel to operating companies — expect to be on-site at the business you're transforming for meaningful stretches
