Job description

We are building technology that saves lives

Falls are the leading cause of injury related death for older adults, responsible for more than 700,000 deaths every year.

Existing solutions fail.

Cameras invade privacy.

Microphones are unreliable.

Wearables are not worn.

We are the only company that can detect falls at scale without cameras, without wearables, and without friction.

Our deep tech wireless sensing platform delivers a 1000x performance advantage over legacy systems, detecting nano scale human motion with unmatched precision.

We are scaling fast at 26 percent month over month growth. We need AI embedded into every layer of our operating system to sustain this trajectory.

This role has massive impact on that mission.

The Role

This is a force multiplier role in the Office of the CEO.

You report directly to the CEO and partner closely with the COO and CCO.

Your mandate is leverage. Build and deploy AI systems that remove bottlenecks, automate cognitive work, and dramatically increase company output.

You Will

Lead end to end deployment of AI systems and intelligent agents across the organization
Architect, build, and maintain production ready AI tools and automation workflows
Leverage platforms such as OpenAI, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, Gemini, Lovable, Replit and emerging systems
Drive measurable improvements across marketing, GTM, lead generation, sales, product, and customer success
Integrate data across tools and build dashboards that drive decisions
Define metrics, track impact, and continuously optimize performance

This role owns outcomes, not experiments.

If you execute well, leadership capacity multiplies and execution speed compounds.

Scope & Authority

You will define and own AI strategy and deployment across the company. You will set standards, select tools, define system architecture, and drive adoption across teams. You will influence how every department operates.

This is not a support role. You are building the AI operating system of the company. You will have the mandate and resources to experiment, deploy, and iterate rapidly.

What Makes This Challenging

Integrating AI across hardware, enterprise sales, and deep tech workflows
Designing reliable production systems, not demos
Building automation that directly impacts revenue, customer experience, and operational scale
Creating measurable ROI in a fast growing, high accountability environment
Designing systems that balance speed, reliability, and measurable ROI in a real production environment

Culture

We hire A players. People who raise the bar.
We move fast. We build fast. We ship, test, iterate, improve. Speed matters because lives matter.
High ownership. High accountability. High trust.
Startup intensity with a culture of growth. You are expected to perform at a high level and you will be supported in becoming even better.

Intellectual Environment

You will work alongside a globally recognized deep tech team with significant IP, enterprise deployments across multiple continents, and real world production systems already serving customers.

We operate at a high bar. Builders thrive here.

About You

2+ years of hands on experience building and deploying AI or automation systems
Fluent with modern AI platforms including OpenAI, Claude, Lovable, Replit, Gemini, Meta tools, and Perplexity
Strong technical intuition with the ability to move from idea to deployed system quickly
Fast learner who adapts as tools evolve
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and shipping without perfect information
Highly self directed with strong execution discipline
You think in systems, not prompts.

Bonus

Marketing and go to market experience
Advertising or digital marketing background
Strong business acumen
Startup or high growth experience
Founder or early operator experience
Computer science or engineering background

What Winning Looks Like

The company operates faster because of you. Leadership makes better decisions with less friction because of systems you built. Teams execute with greater clarity because of systems you built. Revenue grows with less friction because of automation you deployed.
Automation you deployed measurably increases output across revenue, operations, or product velocity.
You are not judged on experiments. You are judged on impact.

Why Join

26 percent month over month growth in a category defining deep tech company with proven traction and global expansion underway.

Direct access to the CEO. Real authority. Real ownership.
Build the AI backbone of a global company at scale.
High autonomy. High trust. High upside.
Your fingerprints will be on how this company scales.
We offer competitive compensation benchmarked to high growth startups, along with meaningful equity participation. Your upside is directly aligned with the scale of the company. High performance creates accelerated opportunity.
