Company Description

StrataBlue is an AI systems and consulting firm that builds production-ready AI solutions, including voice agents and workflow automation, for global clients. Moving beyond slide decks and prototypes, the firm delivers complex, working systems using a modern stack like n8n and Supabase to solve real-world business challenges.

Job Description

You will sit at the intersection of client consulting and production engineering, transforming vague requests into functional AI systems. You will scope projects, build complex workflows using n8n and Supabase, and direct an overseas development team to ensure delivery. This high-autonomy role requires a builder who unblocks others and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

Location

Remote

Why this role is remarkable

• Work on the bleeding edge of AI by building and deploying production-grade voice agents and automated workflows for diverse global clients.
• Experience extreme autonomy as a "builder-consultant" who owns the entire lifecycle from initial scoping calls to final implementation and system visibility.
• Scale your impact by directing an overseas dev team, managing project delivery, and building essential internal infrastructure like centralized logging and alerting.

What You Will Do

• Lead technical scoping calls with clients to translate fuzzy business requirements into detailed technical specifications for the engineering team.
• Build production-ready AI systems including 35+ node n8n workflows, Supabase backends, and sophisticated voice agent setups using Retell or Trillet.
• Manage and mentor an overseas development team by writing clear technical tickets, performing code reviews, and ensuring consistent delivery standards.

The ideal candidate

• Has 3+ years of professional experience shipping full-stack products and is comfortable working across every layer of the modern technical stack.
• Demonstrates exceptional communication skills with C2-level English, capable of managing client relationships and pushing back on unrealistic project scopes.
• Thrives in high-velocity environments like agencies or consultancies and can move from debugging production issues to writing actionable development tickets.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

• Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
• Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
• If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
