## Job description

## ABOUT US

1mind is a platform that deploys multimodal Superhumans for revenue teams. These Superhumans combine a face, a voice, and a GTM brain — equipped with deep technical and product knowledge. They can lead unlimited, simultaneous conversations 24/7, meeting buyers when they’re most active and engaged. Superhumans qualify leads, book meetings, deliver pitches, give interactive demos, handle objections, uncover pain points, build value models, provide support, and onboard customers. They live across websites, inside your product, can join live calls as active participants, and work alongside your team in deal rooms. 1mind Superhumans integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, scale instantly, and drive measurable impact — growing revenue, reducing headcount, accelerating pipeline to closed-won, and creating a more delightful buyer experience.

## JOB DESCRIPTION

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineering Lead to build 1mind’s forward deployed motion from the ground up. This is one of the most important hires we’re making right now — the person who fills it will define how our newest products land inside customer environments and will set the technical bar for a function we expect to scale rapidly.

You’ll embed directly with customers to deploy 1mind’s AI Superhumans into their live web applications — ramping quickly on unfamiliar products, working deep in the DOM and browser rendering layer, and building the automation that makes our agents perform reliably across every surface a buyer touches. You’ll own deployments end-to-end: scoping, building, shipping, and iterating alongside customer teams until the product delivers measurable value.

This is a senior, hands-on technical lead role. You’ll start as the anchor engineer on our flagship deployment, then expand the motion across our existing customer base — codifying playbooks, shaping the tooling, and laying the foundation for the forward deployed organization we build around you.

## KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead end-to-end forward deployments of 1mind’s products — from technical scoping and system design through production rollout inside customer web environments.
- Ramp rapidly on unfamiliar web applications, tracing and debugging HTML/DOM and rendering issues across static, server-rendered, and client-rendered architectures.
- Build and maintain robust UI automation using Playwright, Puppeteer, and Chrome DevTools Protocol to drive reliable agent behavior across desktop and mobile, and across Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, Safari/WebKit, and Edge.
- Work hands-on with the AI orchestration layer — prompts, retrieval, and agent configuration — to tune Superhuman behavior for each customer’s product and workflows.
- Handle real-world auth and web state — cookies, sessions, tokens, and local/session storage — to make deployments secure and resilient.
- Serve as the senior technical partner to customer engineering teams: run technical discovery, translate business needs into deployment plans, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Codify what works into repeatable playbooks, internal tooling, and documentation that make every subsequent deployment faster.
- Feed deployment insights back into the product roadmap, working closely with engineering and product leadership.

## QUALIFICATIONS

Required

- Significant hands-on front-end engineering experience building and shipping production web applications — a must for this role.
- Strong JavaScript, HTML, and CSS fundamentals, with deep working knowledge of HTML elements and the accessibility tree (ARIA).
- Deep expertise in the DOM and browser rendering pipelines — static, SSR, and CSR — and comfort debugging rendering issues in the browser console and dev tools.
- Deep production experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, or Svelte).
- Production experience with UI automation tooling: Playwright, Puppeteer, or Chrome DevTools Protocol.
- Solid grasp of authentication and web state: cookies, sessions, tokens, and local/session storage.
- Working knowledge of AI/LLM systems — prompting, retrieval, and orchestration — and genuine curiosity about deploying agents in production.
- Proven ability to ramp quickly on unfamiliar web applications and operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments.
- Strong customer-facing communication skills; comfortable leading technical conversations with customer engineering teams.
- Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.

## Preferred

- Experience in a forward deployed, solutions engineering, or technical consulting role at a high-growth AI or developer-facing company.
- Experience building browser extensions or working deeply with the Chrome extension ecosystem.
- Cross-platform automation experience spanning desktop and mobile browsers.
- Deeper experience with RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, or AI orchestration layers.
- Experience creating playbooks, tooling, or processes that scaled a technical function beyond yourself.

WHY JOIN US?

- We’re completely transforming how companies go to market — scaling revenue beyond human capacity.
- Build a brand-new function from the ground up and define how a category-defining product lands with customers.
- Work alongside a top-tier, high-ownership team during a rapid growth phase.
- High visibility, high impact role — with room to grow into leading the forward deployed organization as we scale.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: 1mind builds AI-powered "Superhuman" agents that autonomously perform go-to-market functions—from sales development and demos to customer onboarding—to replace and scale human revenue teams.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2024

- **Mission or purpose**: To make humans "superhuman" by deploying AI that eliminates broken handoffs and scales intelligence across the entire customer lifecycle.

## Products & Services
- **GTM Superhumans**: Autonomous AI agents that act as SDRs, first-call AEs, Sales Engineers, CSMs, and In-Product Guides. They qualify buyers, book meetings, deliver pitches, handle objections, demo products, onboard customers, and drive conversions—all without human intervention.
- **Ride-Along Sales Engineer**: An AI that joins live Zoom/Teams/Google Meet calls as a visible, named participant to answer technical questions, share content, and perform discovery.
- **Website Inbound Superhuman**: 24/7 AI that pitches, discovers, demos, qualifies, and drives visitors to action (book meetings, start trials, or convert directly).
- **PLG/SMB Seller**: Engages free users, converts them to paid, and nurtures the long tail at scale.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (raised $40M total)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $40M (including a $30M Series A led by Battery Ventures in November 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Battery Ventures (lead), with participation from Cassie Young (early investor). Exclusive AI successor to Drift (per Clari + Salesloft). Partnered with Clari and Salesloft.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 327.6% YoY to 79 employees; revenue estimated at $6M annually; claims to have surpassed "triple, triple, double" growth benchmark; 80% of its own pipeline generated via AI superhumans; 8,881 LinkedIn followers (+356.4% yearly); 11 active job postings.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Purpose-built AI for GTM**: Unlike generic chatbots, 1mind’s agents are designed to handle the full sales cycle with context, knowledge graphs, and action orchestration.
- **First-mover in “visible” AI sales engineers**: The Ride-Along feature makes the AI a named participant on live calls, building trust and reducing friction.
- **Founder with deep domain expertise**: Amanda Kahlow previously founded and exited 6sense (unicorn), giving her unique insight into revenue intelligence.
- **Strong early traction**: Rapid headcount and revenue growth, plus endorsements from major platforms (Clari, Salesloft) as the exclusive AI successor to Drift.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale the Superhuman workforce**: Continue deploying AI agents across more customer lifecycle stages and geographies.
- **Expand enterprise adoption**: Targeting large revenue teams with the promise of replacing multiple human roles.
- **Deepen integrations**: Tighten partnerships with CRM, sales engagement, and revenue intelligence platforms to embed Superhumans seamlessly.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Rated 4.6/5 on LinkedIn (13 reviews) with high marks for culture (4.6), career growth (4.7), and compensation (4.4). Described as a fast-paced, mission-driven environment building the “era of Superhumans.”
- **Remote/hybrid/office**: Headquarters in San Francisco (2261 Market St), but operates across 5 countries (US, India, Canada, Pakistan, Armenia). Likely hybrid or remote-friendly given distributed team.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: High-growth startup with access to cutting-edge AI research; employees work on AI agents, knowledge graphs, and real-time action orchestration. Open roles include AI Research Lead, AI System Engineer, Head of Product, and more.
