Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always-on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better.

This role demands a blend of technical leadership and operational rigor, transitioning incubated projects into production-ready solutions while maintaining excellence through robust monitoring, metrics, and support. Ultimately, you will build mission-critical tools that our top GTM operatives rely on to achieve their strategic goals.
