Ideal candidates & backgrounds

Sinan Ozdemir

Head of AI Developer Education @ Fireworks AI Author of 10+ AI/LLM Books

San Francisco, California, United States

About this role

We are looking for an AI Education Lead with 5+ years of experience to keep an already AI-native organization at the cutting edge as models and tools evolve weekly. You are someone who lives at the frontier of AI - running agents, building workflows, and forming sharp opinions on what actually matters with each new model release. You'll own how every person at Basis (a $1B+ AI platform for accounting) learns, adapts, and works alongside agents. This is not an introductory training role - you'll be pushing an advanced team even further and inventing the playbook for how humans and AI collaborate at scale.

What will you be doing?

• Designing and delivering company-wide AI education programs, role-specific playbooks, and hands-on workshops that drive measurable behavior change - not just attendance
• Staying at the absolute frontier of AI capabilities - testing new models on release day, building with them, and translating insights into actionable guidance for engineers and non-engineers alike
• Embedding directly with teams to identify capability gaps, redesign workflows around agents, and ensure adoption compounds across the organization
• Translating frontier AI techniques into secure, reliable, and repeatable systems that a fast-growing company handling sensitive data can trust
• Building skills, agents, and internal tools that teach people in the flow of work - creating zero-human loops where possible and freeing teams for higher-level work

Seniority

4 - 10 years of experience in AI/ML enablement, developer education, or building agentic workflows.

Work experience

Hands- on experience building agentic workflows or AI- powered automation systems with the latest models .

Built and delivered AI training programs at a company where employees already used AI daily

Experience at a high- growth startup

Hard skills

Actively builds with the latest frontier AI models daily

Miscellaneous

Very excited to teach others how to go from great to best- in- class in AI usage

Must be in- person 5 days/week in Flatiron, NYC

Traits to avoid

Only theoretical AI knowledge - no personal hands- on building with agents

Background limited to introductory- level AI training (e. g. , "what is ChatGPT" workshops)

Needs heavy top- down direction; cannot self- identify gaps and act autonomously

What to ask candidates

• Are you able to work in-person at our Flatiron, NYC office 5 days per week?
• Describe the AI agents and workflows you currently run in your own work - what tools do you use daily and how have you redesigned your personal workflow around them?
• Tell us about a time you helped a team or organization adopt a new AI capability. What did you build or teach and how did you measure whether people actually changed how they work?
• Can the candidate be on-site? If not, is the candidate willing to relocate?
• What is their salary expectation?
• How actively is this candidate exploring new opportunities?
