[Hiring] Partner AI Deployment Engineer @Eliza

Role Description

We are seeking a founding Partner AI Deployment Engineer to serve as the technical counterpart for our OpenAI partnership.

You will work directly with business executives to uncover high-value opportunities, then translate those ideas into compelling technical experiences.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who can move comfortably between code, executive conversations, and technical workshops.
