AI Operations Lead

Do you find yourself talking to agents more than humans? Listen up.

I'm hiring for a few of the most interesting roles at Rain right now (biased).

Quick context: Rain recently hit unicorn status with well under 100 people, after a year of 30x growth. We got here by hiring insanely high caliber teammates and giving them the trust and support to win.

While we continue to scale our team with the best people, we are also building out our internal AI team to help our team move even faster.

--

We're hiring an AI-native operator/builder to:

→ Work across teams and prioritize the opportunities that will give us the most leverage

→ Ship AI agents, apps, and workflows end-to-end

→ Integrate AI into our culture and support our AI foundations

We're also hiring several AI engineers to:

→ Be a critical part of our technical and product AI roadmap 

→ Build shared AI infrastructure and composable primitives and interfaces

→ Design and ship AI-powered features into our core platform and agentic payment systems

--

As a former AI founder, I can say this is a dream job. This is an opportunity here to create real (immediate) impact and build a generational company with AI at its core.

Know someone who would be a great fit? Please tag them! .

Our Ethos

We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.

About the Role

As a core member of our Internal AI team, you will help Rain build leverage and become AI-native. This role sits at the intersection between building and enablement. You will work across teams to fix bottlenecks with AI agents, apps, and workflows and empower those teams with the capabilities to do the same.

This is a cross-disciplinary role for a high agency problem-solver. You will use your expertise in product, data, and vibecoding to drive improvements that will help us accelerate as we scale. Finally, you will support Rain’s foundational AI systems, tooling, and other primitives that will compound our growth over time.

What You'll Do

• Diagnose & Prioritize: Proactively audit workflows across teams to identify the highest-impact automation and AI opportunities. Translate business pain points into a prioritized roadmap with clear ROI.
• Build & Ship: Design and deploy AI-powered agents, apps, and workflows using a mix of code/no-code tools. Own solutions end-to-end from prototype to production.
• Drive AI Adoption: Partner with teams to build an AI-first culture. Run enablement sessions, create documentation, and build internal champions who sustain long-term impact.
• Establish Operational Rigor: Define success metrics for every initiative. Track performance, measure adoption, and demonstrate business impact. Iterate based on data and feedback.
• Support Rain’s AI Foundations: Develop the core primitives — documentation, skill/agent libraries, standard operating procedures, and governance frameworks — that enable Rain to build and deploy AI agents and tools easily and reliably.

Who You Are

• AI Native Builder. Deep and demonstrated experience using AI to build, ship, and accelerate work. You can take an ambiguous problem and ship a working solution without waiting for an engineering team.
• Strong technical fluency. You are fluent with low-code/no-code and development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), SQL & BI tools, APIs, scripting, and integrations.
• Analytical and empathetic problem-solver. You can partner with teams to understand challenges, use data to prioritize opportunities, deliver results, and measure impact.
• Excellent communicator. You can manage expectations, maintain alignment, across competing priorities. You can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into technical specs.
• Systems builder. You naturally create clarity out of chaos — writing SOPs, building templates, defining standards, and structuring knowledge so that humans and agents can build on your work.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and speed. You thrive in fast-paced startup environments where priorities shift and you need to figure things out on the fly. You have high agency and don't wait to be told what to do.
• 3–6 years of experience in product management, product ops, forward deployed/solutions engineering, technical program management, or a similar role where you have solved problems with technical solutions.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a Series A–C startup or high-growth startup company (or former founder)
• Familiarity with compliance, finance, or payments workflows
• Experience with workflow orchestration and integration architecture (webhooks, auth flows, data pipelines)
• Background in change management or internal enablement programs
• Experience with data platforms (Google Cloud, DBT) or data modeling
• Track record of driving measurable adoption of internal tools or processes
• Experience building internal knowledge bases, technical SOPs, or developer-facing documentation
