AI Catalyst
We are looking for an AI Catalyst to unify AI across Muse and turn it into a scalable execution engine that compounds impact from idea to delivery to iteration. We are becoming an AI-first company where AI is not a feature, but the default way work gets done across product, engineering, and operations.
Key responsibilities
Required experience
- Orchestrator DNA — taste, agency, judgment, systems thinking, fluency in what machines can vs cannot do, ability to decompose problems into Clear / Complicated / Complex / Chaotic and decide what's agent-led vs human-led.
- 5+ years of AI/ML-adjacent leadership inside a product company.,
- Recent (last 1–2 years) hands-on experience with agentic-coding stacks: Claude Code / Cursor or equivalent, MCP, sub-agents, evals, custom commands, permission rules, per-repo context files.
- Demonstrated full-chain AI thinking — examples of compressing the idea → ship → measure → iterate loop with AI, not just adding AI to one step.
- Operational track record: shipped AI use cases into non-tech business functions with measurable outcomes; built systems where agents do the execution at scale
- Experience leading an engineering horizontal (e.g. led a team/guild of specialist engineers)
- Strong technical opinions on LLM/provider selection, agent design, RAG vs fine-tuning.
- People/culture lens — able to drive AI-first behavior through systems, tooling, evidence and AI Champions.
