AI Agent Builder

AI Agent Builder

Right hand to the CEO | ClearDesk + incubated companies | Full-time

ClearDesk is a California-based global staffing company supporting US small and mid-sized businesses in home care, real estate, bookkeeping, and home services. The founders are also incubating a portfolio of new companies in healthcare AI, pharmacy ordering, and wellness, and every one of them runs on agents from day one.

We're hiring one person to build those agents. We don't care about your degree, your years of experience, or your last title. We care that you've shipped agents that actually run, that you can turn a messy business process into a working agent in days, and that you want to do it across several companies at once.

The role

You'll sit directly with the CEO and Chief of Staff and act as their right hand for everything AI. They bring the problems and the priorities; you bring the agents. Some weeks that means automating recruiting pipelines at ClearDesk, other weeks it means standing up the first internal tooling for a company that didn't exist a month ago.

This is an early-career role with scope most people wait a decade for. You'll ship work that touches every department of ClearDesk and every company in the ecosystem, and you'll have a direct line to the people who decide what gets built next.

What you'll do

• Build and ship production agents across ClearDesk and our incubated companies using Claude Code, Claude Cowork, OpenAI's agent tools and custom GPTs, Grok, and whatever comes next
• Own the full loop: scope the process with the business owner, build the agent, connect it to our systems (HubSpot, Slack, Gmail, Google Workspace, Asana), test it, roll it out, and keep it running
• Automate the work that eats our leaders' time: recruiting and candidate screening, client onboarding, reporting, inbox and calendar triage, sales follow-up, QA on remote team members' output
• Stand up the AI stack for each new company we launch, so it starts with agents instead of headcount
• Teach the team: run working sessions, write playbooks, and raise the AI fluency of the CEO, Chief of Staff, and department heads
• Track the model and tooling landscape and tell us what to adopt, what to skip, and when to switch
• Set the standards for how agents are built, tested, and secured across the ecosystem

What we're looking for

Must-haves

• Agents you've built that are running for real users today: a business, a side project with paying users, or your own workflow. Demos and tutorials don't count. We'll ask to see them.
• Real hours in Claude Code and at least one other agent platform (OpenAI Agents SDK or custom GPTs, Grok, n8n, Make, or similar)
• Comfortable enough in Python or TypeScript to wire an API, and comfortable enough with people to sit with a recruiter and map her day
• Fast. You ship a working v1 in days and iterate with whoever's using it.
• Clear writer and explainer. You'll be translating between the CEO and the systems constantly.
• Self-directed. You get a problem, not a spec.
• Hungry. You're early in your career and you want to compress ten years into two.

Nice-to-haves

• Built agents for a small business, a family business, or your own thing
• Started something — a side business, a tool people paid for, a Discord that grew
• Experience with MCP servers, tool-use, RAG, and evals for agent quality

Who this is not for

• Someone who wants to only write code and never talk to the business
• Someone who wants to only consult and never own the result
• Someone who needs a roadmap handed to them

Why this role

• You'll build for several companies at once, which means more reps, more variety, and more visible wins than any single-company AI job
• Direct access to the CEO and Chief of Staff; no layers between you and the decisions
• A budget for tools and models, and a mandate to use them
• A front-row seat as new companies get launched, and a real shot at a senior role in one of them within a couple of years

Details

• Location: San Diego, CA (North County) — [in-office]
• Type: Full-time
• Reports to: CEO + Chief of Staff
