WORK ENVIRONMENT:

We are primarily a remote-first company, but you may need to travel to visit client sites or attend meetings at designated locations with your team members.

The Applied AI Analyst operates at the intersection of business, data, and AI to solve complex problems and drive measurable outcomes. This role partners with functional leaders to bring analytical rigor, structure, and AI-enabled solutions to high-impact decisions, workflows, and strategic initiatives.

Applied AI Analysts do not operate in theory alone—they are hands-on builders and problem solvers who design, prototype, and deploy AI-driven approaches that improve efficiency, decision-making, and business performance.

• Measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, or revenue outcomes in assigned functional area(s)
• AI solutions that are adopted and reused across teams
• Better, faster decision-making supported by data and analysis

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Thanks for your interest in the Applied AI Practice at Nymbus. We've tried to make this process transparent and respectful of your time. Here's what it looks like, end to end:

1. Apply. Submit your résumé through the posting. We'll ask two quick questions up front — your work authorization and your compensation expectations — so we can make sure we're aligned before either of us invests time.
2. A short video interview. If your background looks like a fit, we'll invite you to a brief one-way video interview you can record on your own schedule — a few questions, no live scheduling required.
3. A conversation with the hiring manager. A 1:1 conversation with the Director of Applied AI — partly for us to learn how you think, partly for you to dig into the role, the team, and whether it's the right fit for you.
4. A short build exercise. A small, hands-on project shaped like the actual work, built with whatever AI-native tools you like. Plan for a few hours; you'll have a 72-hour window so you can fit it around a job or classes. We care how you think and build, not how long you spend.
5. A brief online assessment. A short, standard assessment that all Nymbus candidates complete.
6. Offer. If it's a match, we move to an offer.

We try to move quickly and keep you informed at each step. Questions along the way are always welcome.

BENEFITS:

• Opportunities for progressive role seniority and compensation growth based on the candidate's knowledge and experience
• Competitive annual salary, performance-based cash bonus, and equity options
• Fully remote work environment
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
