This is more than a typical engineering role. You'll be the dedicated engineer embedded in our small Strategy & Operations team, building AI-first solutions that ensure every facet of Alignable is AI-powered and data-driven-transforming how Alignable operates internally. From customer support automation to sales agents, data pipelines, and internal AI tools, you'll own projects that change how the entire company runs. Many engineers are like skilled mechanics: hand them a work order, and they'll fix the car brilliantly. We need someone who goes further - who steps into the garage, looks at all the cars, talks to the drivers, and decides not just how to fix them, but which ones actually matter - and sometimes, whether we should skip the cars altogether and buy a bus. You'll work closely with executives and business leaders, reporting into our Sr. Director of Engineering with a dotted line to our VP of Strategy & Operations. This is a high-visibility role where your work impacts the whole company.
