AI BUILDER & APPRENTICE

This one is different, and we mean it. We're looking for a builder: someone who makes things, breaks things, fixes them, and can't help tinkering. You might be self-taught. You might have a degree in something unrelated. You might have spent the last two years building bots, automations, side projects, a physical thing in a workshop, or small businesses on your own. We care far more about what you can make and how fast you learn than about the line items on your resume.

You'll work alongside the Principals to build real things: internal tools, automations, and the technical backbone behind our analytical and product work, from data pipelines and classification tools to dashboards, proofs of concept, and the AI-powered products that are central to where the firm is headed, like Mezzura (our lending intelligence platform) and Second Cut (our community data practice). These products are how we expect the business to grow, so what you build here matters. You'll be mentored, you'll be stretched, and you'll ship work that counts from early on. This is a contract to start, with a clear path to permanent for someone who proves they can build.

We're deliberately not handing you a checklist of credentials. There's no required degree and no required number of years.

Instead, show us:

-Things you've built: anything, digital or physical. Code, an app, a bot, a data tool, or a spreadsheet that runs a business, just as easily a machine, a piece of furniture, a rebuilt engine, a robotics project, an event, a club, or a company. Evidence you make things.

-A fast learning curve: a track record of teaching yourself something hard and getting good at it.

-Curiosity about AI: you're already using these tools, or itching to, and you have instincts about where they help.

-Drive and care: you work hard, you finish what you start, and you care about doing it well.

-Bonus, not required: any coding, scripting, data, or design skills you already have (Python, web, automations, classification, and the like). If you don't have them yet but learn fast, that still counts.
