AI Solutions Specialist

Are you passionate about using AI to solve real-world problems? Do you want to be at the forefront of creating and applying AI-driven solutions that transform how businesses operate? We're looking for an AI Solutions Specialist to join our team at GrowthX.

First, a quick introduction.

My name is Daniel, and I lead the technical side of GrowthX. We provide AI-driven strategies and operations for go-to-market (GTM), serving customers like Ramp, Reddit, Strapi, Galileo, and PromptFoo. Operating in semi-stealth and bootstrap mode since May, we're growing fast.

Our founding team brings extensive experience from well-known tech companies. Our CEO and co-founder, Marcel Santilli, is the former Head of Marketing for Hashicorp, ScaleAI, and Deepgram. I'm the former CTO of Canopy (a Basecamp/37signals spin-off) and ex-Director of Product at IFTTT .

At GrowthX, we believe Gen AI is a game-changing technology, and we're committed to staying at the forefront of its application in business operations. We're dedicated to helping knowledge workers become more productive and have more fulfilling jobs.

So, what's the job?

This is an atypical role. As our AI Solutions Specialist, you'll design, manage, and optimize AI workflows. You'll analyze client challenges, break down tasks into AI-enhanced processes, and implement automations using prompt engineering techniques, algorithms and basic programming. This role uniquely blends technical proficiency with business understanding.

Your day-to-day work will involve developing and refining prompts for LLMs while staying updated with the latest AI research. You'll use tools like AirOps, Zapier, Retool, and Replit to build and maintain our AI pipelines, occasionally writing Python and JavaScript code. Collaboration is key—you'll work closely with our GTM team to improve AI strategies for clients and participate in customer meetings alongside Account Managers. You'll also contribute to our internal tools and documentation, playing a crucial role in shaping our AI offerings.

Here's how you can expect to spend your time each week:

• 45% – Developing, managing, and optimizing AI workflows using prompt engineering, evaluations, and basic programming. You'll work with tools like AirOps, n8n, Vellum, Zapier, and Weaviate.
• 25% – Collaborating with our GTM teams, including training on workflows, debugging issues, documenting systems, and helping the team become more AI-native.
• 20% – Participating in customer meetings to understand needs and propose AI solutions.
• 10% – Staying current with AI advancements and contributing to our internal tooling development.
