Applied AI, Engineer & Creator
Tenex, New York City
The role
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and storytelling. You’ll ship production AI systems — walking into client codebases and delivering working AI workflows that change how organizations operate — while documenting the work publicly. You’ll build with frontier AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor), own features end-to-end from architecture through deployment and client relationships, and turn what you learn into educational content for operators and founders. You’ll lead customer workshops ranging from hackathons to function-specific training, and report directly to co-founder Alex Lieberman.
The emphasis is on production systems that run independently and on content that moves audiences from observers to operators.
What you need
- 3+ years shipping production software end-to-end, using AI coding tools in production
- Demonstrated ability to turn complex problems into scalable systems
