About Thread AI
Thread AI is building the AI-native workflow orchestration engine for the enterprise. Our platform, Lemma, makes infrastructure simple, trustworthy, and verifiable for enterprises and public sector agencies looking to deploy mission-critical AI agents at scale.
Headquartered in NYC, we are a lean, fast-moving team of engineers, strategists, and product thinkers. Our co-founding team spent the better part of a decade building AI/ML products believe that a small, exceptionally talented team with a flat structure can out-pace and out-build massive hierarchies. If AI is going to fundamentally change how the world works, we have an obligation to make it verifiable, human-centered, and resilient.
Aboutthe Role
As Thread AI’s first AI Builder Advocate, you are the person who proves what is possible on Lemma—and then shows the world exactly how to do it.
Lemma is built for builders across the entire technical spectrum. Your audience isn't just the staff engineer wiring agents into production infrastructure; it’s also the highly technical operator automating a massive enterprise workflow that used to take a team weeks to execute. Your job is to meet all of them where they are.
This is a high-autonomy, high-leverage role. You’ll ship production-grade reference apps that turn "is this possible?" into "this is running in production." You'll be the loudest internal voice for the builder experience, turning field insights into product reality. You will work directly with the founders, Engineering, and GTM teams to define the builder ecosystem from the ground up.
What You’ll Do Build & Prototype in PublicBe the "User Zero" for every new product capability, SDK release, and API change—dogfooding the platform and providing merciless, high-signal feedback to Engineering.
Prototype relentlessly against the highly complex, multi-model use cases our customers face across financial services, defense, healthcare, and energy.
Architect and open-source runnable, pristine reference applications, starter templates, and demos that solve real-world enterprise orchestration challenges.
Write clear, zero-fluff technical guides
, deep dives, and "build-along" tutorials that help a builder get from an empty IDE to a working prototype in minutes.Produce high-fidelity video walkthroughs and live-coding sessions that demystify complex AI agent coordination and data flows.
Ensure our documentation, examples, and technical messaging remain as precise and rigorous as the engineering behind the platform itself.
Represent Thread AI as a credible, deeply technical voice at industry events, hackathons, and builder meetups.
Act as a talent magnet and represent Thread AI’s culture and engineering bar compellingly in public so that top-tier builders want to join us. Use your ecosystem footprint to organically spot, cultivate, and attract exceptional technical talent to our growing team.
Engage authentically where builders actually hang out (Git Hub, Discord, Hacker News, X), earning trust by solving real problems and offering genuine technical support.
Design and execute Thread AI's developer programming, including technical office hours and builder onboarding tracks.
The "Bilingual" Engineer: You have a strong software engineering background and can write clean, production-quality code (e.g., Python, Type Script). However, you are equally energized when showing a non-traditional developer how to orchestrate a complex workflow.
An Educator at Heart: You have a proven portfolio of teaching things to technical audiences—whether through technical blogging, open-source contributions, video tutorials, or public speaking.
AI-Native: You build with LLMs and agentic frameworks daily. You understand the nuances of the modern AI stack (context windows, embeddings, MCP servers, and model latency) and know how the pieces fit together.
High Autonomy, Low Ego: You thrive in unstructured environments. You don't wait for a spec; you see a gap in the builder experience and you ship the solution.
An Exceptional Communicator: You can simplify dense architectural concepts…
