AI Solutions Engineer / Technical Project Manager

Our project managers aren't ticket movers. They are first and foremost solutions consultants who have a deep understanding of business challenges and solutions to those challenges. They sit with the client, work out what's actually needed, and then decide whether to build it themselves or route it to the team. If you can do both, this is the seat.

AI Solutions Engineer & Technical Project Manager

An award-winning agency

We're an award-winning, 100% remote digital agency founded in Denver, building across three pillars: Web, Marketing, and Design. Clients range from startups to enterprise. Webflow Premium Partner, Shopify Plus Partner, WooCommerce Platinum Partner, Stripe Enterprise Partner.

We're also committed to ending human trafficking in our lifetime, and we put real time and money behind that.

Remote, but not distant — we meet online constantly and in person at least once a year.

Role Requirements

This is two jobs that used to be separate.

One: run agency projects. Scope, schedule, budget, client communication, keeping designers and developers pointed the same direction. The unglamorous discipline that makes everything else possible.

Two: be the technical answer in the room. A client describes a problem, you recommend the right solution — and then, often, you build it yourself with Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, or whatever gets it done, instead of putting it in the queue behind three other projects.Most weeks you do both. Some weeks the fastest path to a happy client is you shipping a working prototype on Thursday afternoon. Other weeks it's you writing a clean brief and getting out of the team's way. Knowing which week you're in is the actual skill we're hiring for.To be clear about what this isn't: we're not training models. We're building real things on top of foundation models for real clients with real deadlines. If your background is research or MLOps, this will bore you.

The perfect fit

You're the go-to for your clients. You translate vague requests into technical requirements and either execute or delegate — deliberately, not by default. You push back on bad ideas from either direction and bring a better option instead. You improve our SOPs as you go rather than complaining about them. You manage your own workload without being managed.This isn't for you if

  • You need a fully specced ticket before you can start.
  • Your AI experience is using ChatGPT to draft emails.
  • You've never been personally accountable for a client relationship.
  • You want to be an ML engineer.
  • You need someone else to decide what matters this week.

Your Experience

Apply for this role
arrow right icon
  • 5+ years in a digital or marketing agency, client-facing. In-house product experience doesn't substitute — agency pace, agency margins, agency client dynamics are the thing.
  • 5+ years managing web projects across WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, WooCommerce, or custom builds.
  • You've shipped something real using AI-assisted development — and can tell us where it broke and what you did about it.
  • You can tell a client "no, that's not a good idea, but here is a solution to achieve the outcome better" and still have the relationship afterward.
  • Excellent written and spoken English. In a remote agency, writing is the work.

Benefits like no other

  • People first — we value you more than your output
  • Competitive compensation
  • Fully remote, flexible schedule
  • 3+ weeks paid time off
  • 40 hours a week, and no more
  • Paid parental leave
  • A management team invested in your development
