01Key Responsibilities
1. Identify manual, slow, or repetitive processes anywhere in the business sales, operations, HR, marketing, support and design AI-powered systems to fix them.
2. Build and ship real, working tools: automation workflows, AI agents, internal dashboards, customer-facing AI features using the best models and frameworks available, not whatever's cheapest.
3. Work directly across verticals in the Stirring Minds portfolio, bringing AI capability to each as they scale.
4. Partner directly with the founding team to identify where AI can create outsized leverage, and turn that into a working system, not just a slide.
5. Own your builds end-to-end from idea, to prototype, to something the team actually uses every day.
What we're looking for:
1. Someone genuinely excited by AI application-building not just prompting a chatbot, but architecting real systems: agents, automations, pipelines, integrations.
2. Comfort with (or fast ability to learn) tools like Claude, GPT, n8n/Make, Python, APIs, and modern AI-agent frameworks.
3. A builder's instinct you'd rather ship something imperfect today and iterate than plan for three weeks.
4. High ownership and high intensity. This is a founder-track role in spirit the pace is fast and the work doesn't stay inside a 9-to-5 box. If that excites you rather than drains you, you'll thrive here.
5. Bonus: prior experience building or contributing to an AI product, side project, or startup shipped is better than perfect.
Why this role is different:
1. You'll get direct access to high-end AI models and tooling, plus direct mentorship from the founding team on what it actually takes to build and scale an AI-native product the kind of exposure most people spend years chasing at a larger company. If your goal is eventually building your own AI application startup, this is close to a real-world apprenticeship for it, while getting paid and owning real outcomes today.
2. Direct, daily access to founders you're in the room, not behind five layers of approval.
3. Real ownership of systems that the business runs on, from day one.
4. Uncapped, performance-linked incentives.
5. ESOP consideration for standout performers this is a founding-team-adjacent seat, and we want it to feel like one.
A note on intensity:
We won't sugarcoat this: it's a high-intensity, always-on kind of role. Systems break at inconvenient times, ideas show up outside office hours, and the team moves fast. We're looking for someone genuinely energized by being close to the build, all the time not someone who wants a clean line between work and life right now. In exchange, you get outsized ownership, outsized learning, and outsized upside relative to a standard internship or job.
