Thread AI

Thread AI is focused on building an AI-native workflow orchestration engine looking for dedicated individuals to join its growing team. Our goal is to make infrastructure simple for enterprises and public sector agencies seeking to get the most from AI.

Headquartered in New York, our growing team is a group of AI, product, and engineering experts, who have a track record of creating and executing against complex workflows and infrastructure.

About The Role

As an Applied AI Strategist at Thread AI, you will work as the connective tissue between our composable AI infrastructure and the complex realities of our customers' businesses. You will join a driven team of Applied Engineers to deploy our platform against the most critical operational challenges enterprises face today.

Your mission is to synthesize disconnected workflows and raw ambition into a clear understanding of what the problem is, how AI agents can solve it, and where the measurable impact lies. You will immerse yourself in our customers' most intricate processes, architecting AI solutions that transform how they work. This role requires a curious and analytical approach, a sharp intuition for value-oriented agentic workflows, and a strong degree of user empathy to ultimately empower our customers to build better.

No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

  • Deep-Dive Discovery: Go onsite and meet with customer stakeholders to understand the critical bottlenecks they face and locate high-leverage opportunities for AI automation.

  • Solution Architecture: Use the Lemma platform to build customized agents and workflows. You will be hands-on with the tools, configuring logic and integrations to solve specific user problems.

  • Technical Integration: Work closely with our Applied AI Engineering team to assist customers to connect APIs, datasources, and models easily into the Lemma platform.

  • User Enablement: Lead training sessions to ensure that the AI solutions are meeting user needs and having a concrete impact on their operations.

  • Strategic Reporting: Present the results of deployments and proposals for future roadmap items to audiences ranging from technical leads to C-suite executives.

  • Product Feedback Loop: Embed with our Software Engineering and Product Design teams to incorporate "field intelligence" into the core Thread AI platform.

  • Scope & Scale: Build and deliver demos to new and existing customers, scoping out potential engagements in new verticals.

What We Value

  • First-Principles Thinking: Team members who aren’t satisfied with surface-level answers and will dive into the details of the data and the logic behind the AI.

  • Mission First: Low ego because the outcome—customer success and product stability—matters more than who gets the credit.

  • Ambiguity Tolerance: Extraordinary ability to confront open-ended problems in unstructured environments where the "right answer" hasn't been defined yet.

  • Technical Aptitude: Comfort with technical concepts (APIs, data structures, model capabilities) and a willingness to learn the Thread platform inside and out.

Compensation

$145,000 - $200,000 + Equity

Applicant must be a U.S. citizen or national or U.S. lawful, permanent resident.

This is a full-time, in-person position based at our New York City office.

Thread AI

Deploy AI in core operations demanding enterprise guarantees.

Thread AI is an AI infrastructure company founded by Angela McNeal and Mayada Gonimah, former Heads of AI Product and Engineering at Palantir Technologies. Through their work, they identified an infrastructure gap preventing enterprises from implementing AI in core production operations. Our composable infrastructure and workflow orchestration platform, Lemma, lets enterprises rapidly deploy AI into their business-critical operations and power the AI products their customers demand. It provides the foundational layer needed for agentic processes to run at scale with the control, governance, and reliability assurances these operations require. Lemma's architecture enables Controlled Autonomy - allowing autonomous agents to execute consistently, but only within explicitly defined operational boundaries that the organization controls and trusts.
