Job Description:
Thread AI Thread AI is focused on building an AI-native workflow
orchestration engine looking for dedicated individuals to join its
growing team. Our goal is to make infrastructure simple for
enterprises and public sector agencies seeking to get the most from
AI. Headquartered in New York, our growing team is a group of AI,
product, and engineering experts, who have a track record of
creating and executing against complex workflows and
infrastructure. About The Role As an Applied AI Strategist at
Thread AI, you will work as the connective tissue between our
composable AI infrastructure and the complex realities of our
customers' businesses. You will join a driven team of Applied
Engineers to deploy our platform against the most critical
operational challenges enterprises face today. Your mission is to
synthesize disconnected workflows and raw ambition into a clear
understanding of what the problem is, how AI agents can solve it,
and where the measurable impact lies. You will immerse yourself in
our customers' most intricate processes, architecting AI solutions
that transform how they work. This role requires a curious and
analytical approach, a sharp intuition for value-oriented agentic
workflows, and a strong degree of user empathy to ultimately
empower our customers to build better. No two days are the same,
but you can expect to: Deep-Dive Discovery: Go onsite and meet with
customer stakeholders to understand the critical bottlenecks they
face and locate high-leverage opportunities for AI automation.
Solution Architecture: Use the Lemma platform to build customized
agents and workflows. You will be hands-on with the tools,
configuring logic and integrations to solve specific user problems.
Technical Integration: Work closely with our Applied AI Engineering
team to assist customers to connect APIs, datasources, and models
easily into the Lemma platform. User Enablement: Lead training
sessions to ensure that the AI solutions are meeting user needs and
having a concrete impact on their operations. Strategic Reporting:
Present the results of deployments and proposals for future roadmap
items to audiences ranging from technical leads to C-suite
executives. Product Feedback Loop: Embed with our Software
Engineering and Product Design teams to incorporate "field
intelligence" into the core Thread AI platform. Scope & Scale:
Build and deliver demos to new and existing customers, scoping out
potential engagements in new verticals. What We Value
First-Principles Thinking: Team members who aren’t satisfied with
surface-level answers and will dive into the details of the data
and the logic behind the AI. Mission First: Low ego because the
outcome—customer success and product stability—matters more than
who gets the credit. Ambiguity Tolerance: Extraordinary ability to
confront open-ended problems in unstructured environments where the
"right answer" hasn't been defined yet. Technical Aptitude: Comfort
with technical concepts (APIs, data structures, model capabilities)
and a willingness to learn the Thread platform inside and out.
Compensation $145,000 - $200,000 Equity Applicant must be a U.S.
citizen or national or U.S. lawful, permanent resident. This is a
full-time, in-person position based at our New York City
office.
