Summary

Title: Technical Delivery Lead / Orchestrator — AI & Automation Projects (Ongoing, Part-Time) Description: We're looking for a technically strong delivery lead to orchestrate AI and automation builds — not to do the hands-on coding (a dedicated dev team handles that), but to own the layer above it: scoping client needs, translating them into clear build plans, directing the dev team, and quality-checking what they ship. You'd be our technical point person on projects — comfortable on a call with a client or partner one minute, and reviewing the dev team's architecture the next. We need someone who can tell good work from bad, push back when something's off, and keep projects moving without being micromanaged. This is an ongoing, flexible, part-time role across a steady pipeline of work (marketing automation, agentic AI workflows, web/app builds). You'd start on one project to prove fit, then expand from there. Must-haves: - Strong technical background — you've built real things (read code, architect a solution, judge a dev team's work), with hands-on exposure to AI agents / automation (n8n, LangChain/LangGraph, or similar) - Client-facing polish — represent us professionally to clients and partners - Orchestration experience — you've scoped work and directed developers/teams, not just built it yourself - Based on the US West Coast — reliable overlap with both our team and an offshore dev team To apply, please include: To apply, just a few sentences on each: 1. One project where you scoped a client's need, directed a dev team, and delivered — what was yours vs. the team's 2. A line on your technical depth (something you've architected or built) and a line on client-facing work you've done 3. Your quick take: a client wants an "autonomous marketing system" live in 30 days — what's the first thing you'd want to know, and the most common reason these underdeliver? Keep it short — we're after sharp thinking, not a polished pitch. Individuals only — not agencies.
