Ready to revolutionize the AI landscape? We’re looking for a visionary AI expert who’s not content with keeping groundbreaking discoveries behind closed doors. This is your chance to become the go-to authority in AI implementation while doing what you love most - pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence.
Imagine having the freedom to explore cutting-edge AI technologies, create innovative solutions, and share your findings with the world. No more buried research or watered-down technical insights. Instead, you’ll be at the forefront of AI innovation, influencing how 150+ enterprise software companies harness the power of AI.
As a one-person powerhouse, you’ll achieve what traditionally requires entire teams, leveraging AI-first approaches to maximize impact. Your technical discoveries will shape real-world implementations, not gather dust in internal documents.
If you thrive on challenging the status quo, debunking AI myths, and building a strong technical following, we want to hear from you. Within your first year, you’ll establish yourself as an influential voice in the AI community, shaping the future of practical AI implementation.

• Transform your technical findings into compelling daily research content
• Build your personal brand through daily blog posts and social media engagement
• Challenge conventional wisdom with data-backed, provocative insights
• Cultivate a substantial following (50K+) of technical professionals who value your expertise

WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE DOING

Let’s be clear about what this role isn’t:

• No people management or roadmap planning - focus purely on technical innovation
• Skip the theoretical strategy documents - we’re all about practical implementation
• Leave production system maintenance to others - you’re here to innovate
• Say goodbye to endless meeting cycles - your time is for exploration and creation
• No more creating shelf-warming reports - your research directly drives action
