Imagine what you could build here.
At Vessel, we’re reimagining how people live. Our mission is to deliver beautifully designed, affordable homes at scale. To do this, we need bold thinkers who see possibility where others see complexity.
Many companies are hiring AI engineers or researchers. Few are creating roles like this. The Applied AI Lead is not here to write code. This is a builder’s seat: technically fluent, entrepreneurial in mindset, and charged with finding the places where AI can change the way we work.
You’ll identify opportunities, design solutions, and lead initiatives that create AI-powered products. These products will accelerate Vessel’s mission today — and may become commercial businesses tomorrow.
What You’ll Do
- Partner with Vessel’s Founder to identify opportunities where cutting edge technology can power business transformation.
- Take the lead in designing, developing and launching new products that will first support Vessel’s business and ultimately, might become commercializable products themselves
- Manage the implementation of these products across the company, soliciting feedback from your internal “customers“ and using it to iterate through new product generations
- Identify ways in which the products you build could be marketed to third-parties (think AWS) and develop the strategy to take them to launch.
Who You Are
- 3–5 years of experience in venture capital, consulting, private equity, or high-growth startups
- Proven ability to design and drive strategic initiatives from idea to execution
- Curiosity and experience applying AI or data-driven tools to real-world challenges
- Entrepreneurial mindset, energized by ambiguity, and restless until ideas become action
$175,000 - $225,000 a year
What We Offer
- Base salary, equity ownership, performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits.
- A platform to design, test, and scale transformative solutions at the intersection of real estate, design, and technology.
- The opportunity to work directly with founders and executives, shaping the future of Vessel from the ground up.
- A creative, mission-driven environment in New York City, where bold ideas turn into real-world impact.
