Builder
About the role
Artisan builds AI employees that take on real work. We're looking for Builders who can understand a customer problem, decide what the product should do, design the experience, and ship the code.
Responsibilities
- Talk to customers, study how they work, and identify problems worth solving. Bring a clear view of what matters and why.
- Shape the product: write the spec, design the interface, make the tradeoffs, and keep the scope focused enough to ship quickly.
- Build and ship production features in TypeScript and React. Use AI coding tools to move faster while understanding, reviewing, and testing the code you release.
- Follow the result through to actual use. Watch where customers struggle, investigate failures, and improve the experience.
- Maintain what you build. Fix bugs, handle edge cases, and make the system easier for the next engineer to understand.
- Work closely with the rest of the team when your product touches shared infrastructure, AI behavior, or customer workflows.
Qualifications
- You've personally taken a product or substantial feature from an idea to production. You can explain the customer problem, your decisions, and what happened after launch.
- You can ship TypeScript and React in an existing codebase without constant direction. You understand the code well enough to debug it when AI tooling gets something wrong.
- You have strong product and design judgment. You care about how an interface works as well as how it looks.
- You know outbound sales from experience: researching prospects, sending campaigns, handling replies, and selling a product. You can spot where the tools get in the way.
- You take initiative and can defend a product decision, hear criticism, and change course when the evidence calls for it.
- You move quickly and take responsibility for quality, maintenance, and the customer outcome.

About Artisan
AI employees called Artisans, starting with an AI BDR
At Artisan, we’re building real AI employees - not copilots, not assistants, but autonomous teammates. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR. She finds and researches leads, writes emails in customers’ tone of voice, runs outbound sequences, self-optimizes, and manages email deliverability infrastructure. She learns, adapts, and improves over time - just like a human would. Human team members use Artisan as their primary working platform, replacing a sprawling stack of sales tools, and have Artisans working alongside them. We went through Y Combinator (W24) and have raised $35M+ from top investors. We’re at $6M+ ARR, with hundreds of customers including Remote, Quora, and SumUp. We’re currently working on Ava 2.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And we're hiring.
