Partner AI Deployment Engineer

Role Description

We are seeking a founding Partner AI Deployment Engineer to serve as the technical counterpart for our OpenAI partnership.

You will work directly with business executives to uncover high-value opportunities, then translate those ideas into compelling technical experiences.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who can move comfortably between code, executive conversations, and technical workshops. Success means OpenAI teams and their customers trust Eliza because you can connect business priorities to credible technical possibilities — and that confidence turns into valuable customer opportunities.
