About The Role:

 

We're hiring a builder-architect to lead AI-first transformation at Sauce, starting with our operations department. Not a fullstack dev who "uses AI" — someone closer to a technical founder: you take an operational business problem end-to-end, act as your own PM, design the architecture, and build until it's solved. You'll operate across teams and codebases in an R&D org built on legacy practices — and drag it into the AI-first era.This is a 10X-accelerator role. You get a problem, not a ticket. No PM layer, no sprint ceremonies — you own scoping, solution design, delivery, and adoption.

\nWhat You'll Do:What You Bring:

• Almost a technical founder — you've built products or companies (or operated like you did), and you still love to build
• PM + Architect + Engineer in one — you don't need requirements written for you; you write them, then execute
• A strong software architect — you build proper, extensible systems, not duct-tape automations; you extend cleanly and never break what exists
• AI-native — deep, current, hands-on experience with LLMs, agents, and AI-assisted development; you know what's possible this month, not last year
• Relentless — energy to push until the problem is solved; "no matter what" is your operating mode
• Multi-domain — comfortable in unfamiliar codebases, stacks, and business areas
• A transformation driver — you've changed how a team or company works, not just shipped features into it

Technical Experience

• AI agents in production — tool use, structured outputs, multi-step orchestration, evals, human-in-the-loop design
• Ops automation — n8n or similar workflow platforms, operational UIs, CRM integrations (HubSpot a plus)
• AI-first development — expert with Cursor / Claude Code / equivalent as primary build tools
• Full-stack — Node.js + React or equivalent; PostgreSQL or similar
• Architecture — API design, third-party integrations, cloud deployment (Azure / AWS / GCP)
• Security awareness — move fast with emerging tech while keeping systems secure

• Founder / Founding-engineer experience
• HubSpot API
• MongoDBPlaywright / Browser automation
• Chrome extensions
• Restaurant or logistics domain knowledge
