ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is a frontier data research lab. Their thesis: models are what they eat. A large share of training compute is burned on data that's redundant, irrelevant, or harmful - so they built a platform that automatically curates petabytes of raw data into high-quality training data.

AI labs and enterprises use it to train and adapt their own models.

Location: New York; Austin; San Francisco Workplace: OnSite Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit. ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is a Series E, agentic AI company founded in 2017, the company has grown to 500+ employees by building AI agents that plug directly into the workflows housing and healthcare teams already use: touring, leasing, maintenance requests, resident communication, appointment scheduling, intake forms, and provider communication. The core business has real revenue and real customers. They have passed $200M in ARR and has doubled revenue five years in a row. It recently raised $350M at a $4B valuation. Large property management companies and healthcare organizations use it every day. THE MISSION The company's founding mission is to fix housing and healthcare with agentic AI – replacing manual, repetitive work with intelligent automation so residents, patients, providers, and staff get their time back. THE OPPORTUNITY As an Implementation & Delivery Solutions Engineer, you'd own enterprise implementations from the moment Sales hands the deal over until the customer goes live. With fresh funding behind it, the company is investing heavily in this function. You'll work across a multi-product platform where every vertical has its own technical depth, so the work won't get stale. The company has very few PMs, so Solutions Engineers drive product feedback to Engineering directly. If you want to shape what gets built as well as what gets deployed, this role does that. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Run each implementation end to end: scoping, configuration, testing, go-live. - Work with Sales on handoffs, and with CSMs and Engagement Managers so the customer gets one consistent experience. - Sit down with customers, map how they actually work, and turn that into a clear plan. - Lead several implementations at once across product verticals. - Get into the data and API layer: integrations, data migration, and making sure everything lands correctly. - Go on-site with customers (about 25% travel) to build trust in person. - Pass what you learn to Product and Engineering. - Help build the playbooks, config templates, and onboarding frameworks the next hires will use. - Hand finished implementations to the Product Expert SEs who handle ongoing support. WHAT YOU BRING - 3–7 years in a customer-facing technical role (SE, Implementation Engineer, or TAM) and owned both the tech and the relationship. - Experience running multiple configuration-heavy implementations at once, such as CRM or multi-vertical SaaS. - The ability to scope, configure, and troubleshoot API integrations and data flows without waiting on engineering. - A technical degree (CS, engineering, or similar). - A track record working with Engineering, Sales, CS, and Product. - Ownership of post-sales implementations at a SaaS startup, from discovery to go-live. - You can explain complex things clearly to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders alike. - Willingness to travel about 25% for on-site implementations, and to be in the office 4–5 days a week. Bonus points: - Data migration experience, SQL and BI tools (Looker, Tableau). KEY SUCCESS DRIVERS - Take ownership and drive to the finish without being chased. - Stay calm when the plan is still being written. - Work hard and move fast in a startup. - Build trust with customers and handle escalations. - Stay curious about APIs and data, and pick up new tools quickly. - Bring teams together around a customer. - Want to influence the product through what you see in the field. WHY JOIN? - Compensation: 150K-200K base + meaningful equity in a company that just raised $350M at a $4B valuation. No commission or bonus, because this is a post-sales role. - Health & family: Medical, dental, and vision covered at 100%. Paid parental leave. - Logistics covered: Commuter benefits, 401(k), and relocation packages. - In-office, done right: Meals provided in the office. The team is in the building together 4–5 days a week in New York, Austin, or San Francisco. - Time off: Unlimited PTO. - Visa support: Open to visa transfers, including OPT and H-1B. - Growth and impact: $200M+ ARR and five straight years of revenue doubling. You'll build the implementation playbook and shape the product through direct feedback to Engineering.

Location: New York; San Francisco Workplace: Hybrid Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit. ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is an AI-native software company building the operating system for mortgage servicing. It just raised a $150M Series D at a $2B+ valuation, led by Ribbit Capital with participation from Andreessen Horowitz. The company ran its own mortgage servicer before becoming a software company, so the platform was built around real operations. Loan records, money movement, workflows, task management, and audit trails sit in one system, and native AI agents work inside its permissions and controls. Demand is already there - $200M+ in contracted ARR within its first six months in market, and institutions behind roughly one in six U.S. mortgages are under contract to run on the platform. THE MISSION Replace the legacy systems that run American mortgages with software where AI can do real work, with the context, controls, and audit trail that regulated finance demands. THE OPPORTUNITY The contracts are signed. Your job is to turn them into live, high-performing operations. As a Deployment Strategist, you are the person a servicer's COO calls when a migration gets hard. You will sit with escrow, foreclosure, and cash teams, find where their process breaks, and redesign it with product and engineering. You pull the data yourself, settle the discrepancies, and stay on the hook until the numbers move. You will also use AI and coding agents daily to investigate faster and build the tools your team needs. The deployment function is still being built, so the playbooks, tooling, and AI workflows that define how this company delivers are yours to write. If you want the scope of a startup operator, direct access to senior executives, and the backing of a $2.3B company, this is the role. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own deployment workstreams from discovery through configuration, migration, launch, and adoption - Map client workflows, find platform gaps, and align client leadership on priorities and sequencing - Investigate data across the platform, client operations, and capital-partner records - Work onsite with specialists in escrow, foreclosure, loss mitigation, and cash operations - Turn operational findings into product and engineering requirements - Coordinate engineering, product, compliance, executives, and external partners without disrupting live operations - Build reusable playbooks, internal tools, and AI workflows for the whole team - Stay accountable after launch for adoption, performance, and business results WHAT YOU BRING - 3-6 years in strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or high-growth startups - Undergraduate degree from a top university - Proof that you built or defined playbooks, tooling, and processes from scratch - Hands-on use of AI tools and coding agents - Hybrid in NYC (Union Square) or SF (SoMa), 3-4 days in office (relocation assistance is available) - Domestic travel of roughly 10-20%, might be higher during critical phases KEY SUCCESS DRIVERS - High agency: you see what needs to happen and start, without waiting for a playbook - Ownership: you care about the outcome, not just your deliverable - First-principles thinking: you break down unfamiliar problems and decide from evidence - Range: you can brief an executive in the morning and debug a data issue in the afternoon - Fast learning: you pick up complex systems and regulatory detail quickly - Judgment: you move fast while protecting correctness, compliance, and client trust - Builder instinct: you create structure where none exists WHY JOIN? - Base salary: 140K-240K plus meaningful equity, with monthly vesting after a one-year cliff - Medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) plan - Flexible PTO, sick days, and 11 company holidays - Relocation assistance up to $10K - 12 weeks of fully paid bonding leave for birthing and non-birthing parents - Lunch and dinner on in-office days - Dog-friendly NYC office - Pre-tax commuter deductions for public transportation, rideshare, and parking - Company-wide onboarding, learning and development, and 360-degree reviews - Quarterly budgets for team and company outings - Real scope: you own work that changes how large financial institutions run - Fresh funding: the Series D is meant to scale product and teams, including deployment INTERVIEWING PROCESS - Recruiter screen - Strategic thinking interview: first-principles reasoning and ambiguous problem solving - Executive screen with a deployment co-lead, covering executive presence, judgment, and fit - Final panel: take-home case presentation, a 30-minute live client strategy session, and a 15-minute recruiter wrap-up We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, disability, genetic information, veteran or military status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Location: San Francisco; Toronto Workplace: OnSite Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit. ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client builds the data layer that AI agents run on. One API call turns any URL into clean, structured, LLM-ready data. It is already the default way a huge number of developers pull web data into their AI systems. The numbers back it up: 8 figures in ARR in year one, more than doubled that in year two, and 180,000+ GitHub stars, placing its open-source project among the top 50 repositories of all time. They just closed a $75M Series B. The company is small, moving fast, and hiring people who want to build the next chapter with them. THE MISSION They believe developers and AI agents should not have to fight the web to get useful data out of it. Every hour spent maintaining a scraper, dealing with stale pages, or working around brittle retrieval systems is an hour taken away from the actual product. Their job is to make that problem disappear: give AI systems reliable access to the live web, then make the results clean, current, structured, and useful enough to power real products. THE OPPORTUNITY As a Search Engineer, you will own ranking quality and relevance for an LLM-driven search and retrieval product. This is a role for an engineer whose primary, hands-on discipline is production search quality. You have personally shipped ranking or re-ranking changes, measured their impact, and can clearly describe the relevance, recall, conversion, or other search-quality metric you improved—including the result. You will work directly with the Head of Search and a small team across crawling, indexing, retrieval, and search serving. These systems are central to delivering excellent results at scale, but they are not substitutes for relevance ownership. Your role is to improve search quality while navigating the real constraints of web-scale retrieval: freshness, deduplication, latency, reliability, and cost per query. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own ranking quality and relevance for LLM-driven retrieval - Design and build the crawling, indexing, and retrieval systems - Push down latency and cost per query while search volume grows - Own services end to end: design, ship, monitor, and iterate in production - Work directly with the Head of Search and the rest of the search team on the roadmap WHAT YOU BRING - 3+ years of experience building and operating search or retrieval systems in production, with ranking and relevance as your primary, owned discipline - A specific example of a ranking or re-ranking change you personally owned, the search-quality or business metric it moved, and the numerical impact achieved - Hands-on information-retrieval depth across BM25 and lexical retrieval, semantic/vector retrieval, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, retrieval evaluation, or RAG evaluation - Experience measuring search quality through relevance, recall, conversion, CTR, NDCG, MRR, query satisfaction, or comparable production metrics - End-to-end ownership of search services: you have designed, shipped, monitored, debugged, measured, and iterated on production systems - Strong backend systems programming skills in Go, Rust, Python, or a comparable language. - Experience balancing relevance, latency, cost, correctness, and reliability under real production constraints - Comfort working through ambiguity, setting technical direction, and shipping quickly with a build-measure-iterate operating style KEY SUCCESS DRIVERS The people who do well here have personally owned search quality in production, think end-to-end about relevance, crawling, indexing, serving, latency, and cost, and thrive in ambiguity by shipping, measuring, and iterating quickly without needing a fully defined playbook. WHY JOIN? - Compensation & Equity: San Francisco: $235,000–$260,000 USD base salary, plus competitive equity. Toronto: $217,000–$233,000 CAD base salary, plus competitive equity. - Traction: 8 figures in ARR in year one, more than doubled in year two. 180,000+ GitHub stars and a developer base showing up before you even start selling to them. $75M Series B closed in 2026, backed by top-tier investors - Team: ~40 people total, real visibility with the founders and leadership. No layers, no committees, fast decisions, short feedback loops - Benefits: 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision (50% for spouse and kids); employer-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance; 401(k), pre-tax FSA, and commuter benefits; pet insurance; 15+ days PTO; 12 weeks fully paid parental leave for moms and dads; $100/month wellness stipend; $1,000/year learning and development budget; 3-month paid sabbatical after 4 years; team offsites twice a year; SF HQ perks and a loaner e-bike for commuting - Visa: not open to visa sponsorship on this one (Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada).

Paid Work Trial (~40 hours) We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, disability, genetic information, veteran or military status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.
