We value candidates who have significant experience with managing complexity, working independently, and are motivated by hard problems.

You love working together, why not start on your next adventure together?

This role is for a combined submission of any two roles we have open, such as an Engineer plus Customer Strategist who've built incredible things for customers together, an Operations Strategist plus a rock-star Recruiter who can scale a business faster than either one independently, or even two Engineers who, when paired together, make amazing things.

We'll interview you at the same pace, including some interviews together, and give you each an offer at the same time. You're also welcome to apply to the roles independently.

## What We're Looking For

- Expertise building and scaling software capabilities for end-customers together
- Fast iteration cycles, high-impact, and strong communication skills
- Ability to work as a team and also independently with other customer-facing roles
- Individuals who are independently in the top 10% of their function and, when your powers are combined, in the top 1% of impact at your current company
- An active DoD Secret clearance or higher is required at time of hire for customer-facing roles (Customer Strategist and Full Stack Engineer); this requirement is mandated by the classified nature of work performed under US government contracts and is non-negotiable
- US citizenship required for all roles by applicable federal law and government contract obligations (ITAR/EAR); we are unable to consider green card holders or sponsor visas

Steps to Apply

1. Read the descriptions of the other roles to ensure you both qualify; as part of the interview process, we'll interview you separately and together
2. Use AI to combine your resumes and be sure to include 1) specific outcomes you've accomplished together, 2) your individual strengths and weaknesses and how that makes you a dynamic pair
3. Apply via the form on the role

Compensation Each candidate will receive an individual offer reflective of their role, qualifications, experience, and clearance level. Salary ranges for each role are listed in the respective job descriptions. All offers are made independently and simultaneously.

ConductorAI is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Reasonable accommodations are available for qualified individuals with disabilities throughout the application and hiring process.
