About Schumacher: F. Schumacher & Co. is a fast-growing and innovative interior design company. We are a technological leader on the design frontier, constantly pushing boundaries and striving for excellence. We are driven by a shared belief that design transforms life. It challenges convention. It brings a unique point of view into the world. It sets trends. And it leaves a mark.

F. Schumacher & Co., also known as FSCO, is the parent company to many brands within our portfolio. This role is part of Schumacher North America, which is the largest division of the company.

Schumacher designs and produces some of the most beautiful fabrics, wallcoverings, trims, furniture and accessories in the world. Our portfolio of products is broad, but they are united by a passion for design, a thirst for what is next, an appreciation for what's come before, a drive to make our products with enormous care and attention for detail. Schumacher has myriad showrooms in the United States and nationally, as well as a best-in-class website.

The Mission

You want to explore, learn, and build everything AI. Like an astronaut suiting up for an uncharted mission, you're not waiting for someone to map the terrain, you're building the map as you go. You'll spot opportunities where things are slow, manual, or just ripe for a smarter solution, then launch automations and workflows that change how work gets done. No two weeks will look the same. The right person will thrive in that.

We're deliberately open on background. Just graduated? Still figuring out what career even means? That's fine. What we care about is how you think, how fast you learn, and whether you're genuinely lit up by what AI can do. We want someone who stays up reading about a new model release, not because they had to, but because they couldn't help it.

The Launchpad

Schumacher & Co is a 135-year-old start-up at the intersection of craft and innovation producing some of the world's most beautiful fabrics, wallcoverings, and interior design products. We've survived and thrived across centuries not by playing it safe, but by evolving. Today, we're bringing that same spirit to how we run our business.

We're looking for curious, driven builders to help us figure out what becomes possible when AI is woven into everyday operations. This isn't a 'maintain the status quo' role. It's a 'rewrite what's possible' role.

Your Mission Objectives

Success for you means building things that didn't exist before, scaling what works fast, and making the rest obsolete.

• Build and ship AI-powered workflows that eliminate manual work at scale
• Scout for opportunities across every team: spot what's broken or clunky and then go build solutions people want to use
• Test new AI tools as they launch, evaluate what's genuinely useful, and move fast to put the best ones to work
• Measure the impact of what you ship and if it's not working, iterate until it does
• Create a culture where AI-assisted thinking becomes how every team operates

Who You Are

Astronauts don't just follow checklists; they improvise under pressure, learn on the fly, and keep moving when things get hard. That's what we're looking for.

• A builder, not a documenter. You'd rather ship a solution than write a report about the problem
• Genuinely obsessed with AI. You follow the models, test the tools, and can't stop thinking about what's next
• Sharp analytical instincts. You spot patterns, ask smart questions, and love getting to the root of a problem
• Fast learner. You pick up new tools quickly and are eager to build the plane while you fly it
• Clear communicator. You are able to translate technical ideas into something meaningful for non-technical colleagues
• Self-directed and ambitious. We're in uncharted territory and we expect you to explore independently
• Nice to have: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Operations Research, or a related field
