About the Role

We are a 25-year-old company building toward a technology-centered workforce where AI agents and automation handle more of the day-to-day work, supported by people with specialized expertise.

We are automating our existing workflows, expanding our use of agentic AI, launching a sister company next year, and building a fleet of Hermes AI agents to delegate and manage work.

We are looking for a hands-on AI Systems Architect & Company Technology Lead to help build, connect, and continuously improve these systems.

Key Responsibilities

·       Own and improve our Microsoft 365 technology environment and AI-powered workflows.

·       Build automations connecting email, meetings, Planner, and other business systems.

·       Research, test, implement, and maintain AI tools and integrations.

·       Build and manage the Hermes agent fleet, including shared memory, delegation rules, workflows, and reporting.

·       Connect AI agents to business systems and SaaS platforms using APIs, webhooks, databases, and automation tools.

·       Help build an internal agentic marketing department by selecting and connecting the right AI tools.

·       Continuously troubleshoot, improve, and document our technology systems.

·       Help apply these systems as the company expands into new ventures.

Must-Haves

·       Strong technical problem-solving and self-teaching ability.

·       Solid hands-on experience building, configuring, and managing AI agents.

This is a rapidly changing field therefore Direct experience working with actual Hermes agents is not required. However, hands-on experience working with AI agents is required.

What we need is someone who already understands the fundamentals of deploying AI agents, giving them instructions and tools, connecting them to other systems, and making them work reliably in a real business environment.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to help us discover and implement what is actually possible with AI today, and to lead the process of expanding workflows along with the rapidly advancing capabilities — this role is not only to implement a technology that has already been figured out.
