About Air Ops

Air Ops is the full-service platform for brand growth in the age of AI search. As consumers shift from traditional search engines to platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, the entire ruleset of growth is being rewritten. Buyers now rely on agents to discover, recommend, and purchase products and services for them. If your brand isn't part of the answer, you aren't in the running.

Our platform offers everything a brand needs to get found, recommended, and earn trust. We work with category leaders, including teams at Ramp, Chime, Airbnb, Service Now, and Rippling, to drive visibility and accelerate growth from AI search.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Air Ops, you'll work directly with enterprise clients to turn AI search and growth strategy into measurable outcomes. You'll use the Air Ops platform to configure, adapt, and scale playbooks that help leading brands stay visible and competitive as discovery shifts across AI search engines. This is a high-ownership role for someone who likes being close to the customer, the product, and the impact.

You'll partner across Product, Customer Success, Sales, Growth, and Marketing to deliver repeatable client outcomes, bring field feedback back into the platform, and help shape a more mature delivery motion as Air Ops scales.
