Who We Are:
Tenex is where builders, operators, and problem-solvers come together to help the world’s most ambitious companies go from AI-absent to AI-native. We work at the intersection of strategy and engineering, embedding elite AI SWAT teams directly into organizations to turn complex, high-stakes problems into real, measurable outcomes. We don’t do slide decks and hand-offs; we sit in the trenches alongside our clients to build & drive real transformation.
We operate with the speed of a startup and the rigor of a storied institution. Our culture is built on intellectual curiosity, radical ownership, and a belief that exceptional work comes from diverse teams who are empowered to challenge assumptions, move fast, and hold each other to a higher standard. If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.
The Role:
As a Developer Experience hire at Tenex, you’ll sit at the rarest intersection in tech today: someone who builds with AI and someone who tells the story of what they’ve built. You’ll ship real software with the frontier coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever lands next — and turn each build into content that educates Tenex’s audience of AI-curious operators, founders, and enterprise leaders racing to become AI-native.
You’ll also lead AI workshops with Tenex’s customers, ranging from team hackathons to leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, to function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that take customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools. The work compounds: every build becomes a piece of content, every piece of content sharpens a workshop, and every workshop surfaces the next build worth doing.
You’ll report directly to Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and partner closely with engineering, GTM, and content. This is a high-ownership seat for a builder-creator who can write code that runs, ship content that pops, and stand in front of a room of customers and leave them more capable than when they walked in.
What You’ll Do:
Build with AI in public. Use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever ships next to build real software, internal tools, demos, and prototypes — and document the work as you go.
Create content about what you’ve built. Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks that walk Tenex’s audience through what you built, the tools you used, and the workflows that made it possible.
Educate the AI-interested audience that is Tenex’s ICP. Translate frontier capabilities into language that operators, founders, and enterprise leaders can act on; build the body of work that becomes the canonical reference for “how to build with AI today.”
Lead AI workshops with Tenex customers. Run hackathons, leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, and function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that move customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools.
Stay on the frontier. Be the first to test every model, tool, and workflow as it drops; have a sharp point of view on what changes and what doesn’t, and feed that back into builds, content, and customer engagements.
Drive the rhythm of the engine. Establish the cadence of build → content → workshop that compounds Tenex’s voice in the market and turns audience attention into customer conversations.
What We’re Looking For:
3+ years building software, with real shipping experience using AI coding tools. You’re not just curious — you’ve used Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or equivalents to build work that runs in production or in front of real users.
A strong portfolio of teaching content. Videos, posts, playbooks, or threads that explain how something works to a technical or AI-curious audience, where you can articulate both the choices and the audience response.
Deeply AI-pilled. You can name what shipped this week and why it matters; you have opinions on which tools to reach for and when; you’ve built workflows that produce real output, not demos.
Workshop and teaching chops. You’ve taught technical material to non-technical operators, run a hackathon, or led training that left a room of leaders meaningfully more capable than when they walked in.
A creator’s instinct. You know how to find the moment in a build that’s worth a video, the line that’s worth a thread, and the workflow that’s worth a playbook — and you can ship the finished product.
Operational discipline. You can run a calendar of builds, shoots, and workshops in parallel without dropping the bar on any of them, and you can produce and edit your own content end-to-end.
Bonus: experience straddling engineering and content for a creator, founder, or technical brand whose audience is AI-native operators and enterprises.
Exceptional taste and judgment. You know the difference between a build that demos well and one that holds up under scrutiny, and between content that’s polished and content that pops.
High ownership and low ego. You’re happy to ship code on Monday, edit a video on Tuesday, and run a workshop in Boston on Wednesday — and to push back when the idea isn’t there yet.

If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.\n\n\n\nThe Role:\n\nAs an AI Evangelist hire at Tenex, you’ll sit at the rarest intersection in tech today: someone who builds with AI and someone who tells the story of what they’ve built. You’ll ship real software with the frontier coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever lands next — and turn each build into content that educates Tenex’s audience of AI-curious operators, founders, and enterprise leaders racing to become AI-native.\n\nYou’ll also lead AI workshops with Tenex’s customers, ranging from team hackathons to leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, to function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that take customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools. The work compounds: every build becomes a piece of content, every piece of content sharpens a workshop, and every workshop surfaces the next build worth doing.\n\nYou’ll report directly to Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and partner closely with engineering, GTM, and content. This is a high-ownership seat for a builder-creator who can write code that runs, ship content that pops, and stand in front of a room of customers and leave them more capable than when they walked in.\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Do:\n\n - Build with AI in public. Use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever ships next to build real software, internal tools, demos, and prototypes — and document the work as you go.\n\n - Create content about what you’ve built. Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks that walk Tenex’s audience through what you built, the tools you used, and the workflows that made it possible.\n\n - Educate the AI-interested audience that is Tenex’s ICP. Translate frontier capabilities into language that operators, founders, and enterprise leaders can act on; build the body of work that becomes the canonical reference for “how to build with AI today.”\n\n - Lead AI workshops with Tenex customers. Run hackathons, leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, and function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that move customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools.\n\n - Stay on the frontier. Be the first to test every model, tool, and workflow as it drops; have a sharp point of view on what changes and what doesn’t, and feed that back into builds, content, and customer engagements.\n\n - Drive the rhythm of the engine. Establish the cadence of build → content → workshop that compounds Tenex’s voice in the market and turns audience attention into customer conversations.\n\n\n\nWhat We’re Looking For:\n\n - 3+ years building software, with real shipping experience using AI coding tools. You’re not just curious — you’ve used Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or equivalents to build work that runs in production or in front of real users.\n\n - A strong portfolio of teaching content. Videos, posts, playbooks, or threads that explain how something works to a technical or AI-curious audience, where you can articulate both the choices and the audience response.\n\n - Deeply AI-pilled. You can name what shipped this week and why it matters; you have opinions on which tools to reach for and when; you’ve built workflows that produce real output, not demos.\n\n - Workshop and teaching chops. You’ve taught technical material to non-technical operators, run a hackathon, or led training that left a room of leaders meaningfully more capable than when they walked in.\n\n - A creator’s instinct. You know how to find the moment in a build that’s worth a video, the line that’s worth a thread, and the workflow that’s worth a playbook — and you can ship the finished product.\n\n - Operational discipline. You can run a calendar of builds, shoots, and workshops in parallel without dropping the bar on any of them, and you can produce and edit your own content end-to-end.\n\n - Bonus: experience straddling engineering and content for a creator, founder, or technical brand whose audience is AI-native operators and enterprises.\n\n - Exceptional taste and judgment. You know the difference between a build that demos well and one that holds up under scrutiny, and between content that’s polished and content that pops.\n\n - High ownership and low ego. You’re happy to ship code on Monday, edit a video on Tuesday, and run a workshop in Boston on Wednesday — and to push back when the idea isn’t there yet.\n\n\n\nProfiles That Could Be a Fit:\n\n - Engineer who wants to become a creator\n\n - Experience in Developer Relations\n\n - Content creator who wants to go all-in on AI building\n\n - SME who wants to become known as the AI expert in your industry\n\n\n\nWe’ve Got You Covered:\n\n - Comprehensive medical coverage (PPO and HSA options), dental, and vision\n\n - HSA, Healthcare FSA, and Commuter Benefits\n\n - 100% employer-paid life insurance + AD&D\n\n - 100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance\n\n - Responsible PTO.

We look for strategists who:
Have changed how a team works, and can explain what they changed, why, and what happened.
Turn unclear business problems into requirements, priorities, and a plan an engineer can act on.
Can explain technical tradeoffs to a CEO
Use AI tools daily to solve problems
You will learn to run diagnostics that surface real value drivers, scope engagements an engineer can build against, and manage transformation rollouts and adoption.
The strategists we put in front of clients are the product, so hiring is the most important decision we make each week. Our strategists have worked at firms like McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte, EY, PWC, Accenture, and have founded AI consultancies of their own.
Four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations for a national insurer. We identified the ten highest-return AI opportunities, presented a roadmap, and delivered the first two.

A new discipline that makes scale, governance, and speed possible without sacrificing craft. As a Content Engineer at Tenex, you’re the operator who runs the pipelines: writing, editing, and shipping the work that the system produces. The Director designs the system. You make it run.
This is the seat for a whipsmart writer who has gone all-in on what AI makes possible. You can produce a 1,500-word piece that holds, you can take someone else’s draft and make it 3x better, and you’ve built workflows that let you ship in a day what used to take a week. You treat AI like a teammate, not a toy. You read the model release notes the day they drop. You’ve already replaced a chunk of your own old workflow with something better.
You’ll execute across our three content pillars: research, applied, and education. You’ll work closely with the Director of Content Engineering, who is building the system end-to-end. You’ll also work directly with Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and the rest of the Tenex team, sourcing the proprietary insights that make our content worth reading. The work compounds. The pieces you ship help define how Tenex sounds, what Tenex stands for, and how the buyer experiences the brand before they ever talk to us.
Write and edit at the bar. Research reports, applied playbooks, education pieces, newsletters, sales enablement, thought leadership bylines. You sit at the keyboard. The system supports you, but the words are yours.
Run the production pipeline. Take briefs through to published pieces using the workflows the Director designs. Identify where the pipeline breaks, fix what you can, flag what you can’t. Treat every piece as a chance to improve the system.
Build and maintain workflows. Prompt libraries, agent stacks, evaluators, repurposing pipelines. The Director sets the architecture. You build, test, and iterate on the parts you operate in day-to-day.
Be customer zero on the AI stack. Test new tools the day they drop. Bring back what works. Kill what doesn’t. Your job description is partly to keep Tenex on the frontier.
Source proprietary insight. Pair with Alex, founders, and operators in the Tenex network. Turn raw conversations and data into pieces nobody else could write. Your edge over a generalist is access.
Hit a ship cadence. You’ll have weekly publishing targets across the pillars. Hitting them is the job. Hitting them at the bar is the bar.
3 to 6 years writing for a B2B SaaS, media company, or premium publisher. You’ve produced long-form content people actually read. Bias to candidates who’ve owned pieces end-to-end, not just contributed paragraphs.
Whipsmart writer. You can write a 1,500-word piece that holds. You can take a rough draft and make it 3x better in an hour. Your prose has a voice. Bonus credit if you can show us a piece you’re proud of and tell us exactly what makes it good.
Deeply AI-pilled. Actively using frontier tools day-to-day. You can name what shipped this month and why it matters. You’ve built workflows that materially changed your own output. Generic answers like \"I use ChatGPT\" do not count.
Technically curious. You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you can write a prompt, build an agent, evaluate an output, and pair with engineers without translation overhead. The discipline is called engineering for a reason.
Operator instincts. You ship on time. You hit a quality bar even on a tight deadline. You debug your own workflow. You don’t need someone else to tell you what to do next.
Hungry to learn the function. You’re joining at a level where you’ll be coached by an experienced Director and given real ownership of pieces and pipelines. The right candidate sees this as the seat that puts them on a path to running their own content function in 2 to 3 years.
Soul. The best content has a point of view, a voice, and a reason to exist beyond the funnel. You hold the line on quality even when a tighter deadline or bigger reach would tempt you to ship slop.
The best Content Engineers can do three things at once: write at a high caliber, operate AI workflows the way a software engineer operates a build pipeline, and ship on cadence without dropping the bar. They obsess over the buyer, not vanity metrics. They take pride in the craft of the piece and the craft of the workflow that produced it. And they want to be the person who turns the strategy into the published work, week after week. If that sounds like you, we want to meet.
","descriptionPlain":"THE ROLE\n\nContent Engineering is to modern marketing what DevOps was to software. A new discipline that makes scale, governance, and speed possible without sacrificing craft. As a Content Engineer at Tenex, you’re the operator who runs the pipelines: writing, editing, and shipping the work that the system produces. The Director designs the system. You make it run.\n\nThis is the seat for a whipsmart writer who has gone all-in on what AI makes possible. You can produce a 1,500-word piece that holds, you can take someone else’s draft and make it 3x better, and you’ve built workflows that let you ship in a day what used to take a week. You treat AI like a teammate, not a toy. You read the model release notes the day they drop. You’ve already replaced a chunk of your own old workflow with something better.\n\nYou’ll execute across our three content pillars: research, applied, and education. You’ll work closely with the Director of Content Engineering, who is building the system end-to-end. You’ll also work directly with Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and the rest of the Tenex team, sourcing the proprietary insights that make our content worth reading. The work compounds. The pieces you ship help define how Tenex sounds, what Tenex stands for, and how the buyer experiences the brand before they ever talk to us.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\n\n - Write and edit at the bar. Research reports, applied playbooks, education pieces, newsletters, sales enablement, thought leadership bylines. You sit at the keyboard. The system supports you, but the words are yours.\n\n - Run the production pipeline. Take briefs through to published pieces using the workflows the Director designs. Identify where the pipeline breaks, fix what you can, flag what you can’t. Treat every piece as a chance to improve the system.\n\n - Build and maintain workflows. Prompt libraries, agent stacks, evaluators, repurposing pipelines. The Director sets the architecture. You build, test, and iterate on the parts you operate in day-to-day.\n\n - Be customer zero on the AI stack. Test new tools the day they drop. Bring back what works. Kill what doesn’t. Your job description is partly to keep Tenex on the frontier.\n\n - Source proprietary insight. Pair with Alex, founders, and operators in the Tenex network. Turn raw conversations and data into pieces nobody else could write. Your edge over a generalist is access.\n\n - Hit a ship cadence. You’ll have weekly publishing targets across the pillars. Hitting them is the job. Hitting them at the bar is the bar.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL BRING\n\n - 3 to 6 years writing for a B2B SaaS, media company, or premium publisher. You’ve produced long-form content people actually read. Bias to candidates who’ve owned pieces end-to-end, not just contributed paragraphs.\n\n - Whipsmart writer.

Our engineers sit with C-suite leaders, find where AI adds the most value, and ship bleeding-edge AI to production.
We were founded in New York City in 2025. We are currently 70 people and will double by the end of the year. We build for Fortune 500 companies across media, healthcare, retail, finance, and sports.
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor are partners where we turn technology into reliable systems businesses use every day.
You’ll own client projects end to end: find where AI adds real value, decide the technical plan, build the whole system, and keep improving it in production. You’ll lead a few projects at a time in a pod run by an engineering manager.
We look for engineers who:
Have shipped and supported production software.
Have built reliable systems with LLMs.
Can explain decisions to a CEO or an engineer.
You will learn to structure work for agents, engineer context, evaluate outputs, and decide where people stay in control. Every project leaves behind agent systems, evals, and tools that make the next one faster.
The engineers we put in front of clients are the product, so hiring is the most important decision we make each week. Our engineers have worked at Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, AWS, DoorDash, Coinbase, and Oracle, and many have founded companies.
Sales intelligence for a sports and entertainment company. Models score 4.1M fans every night, and an LLM explains each score for sales reps. Top-ranked fans buy at 125x the rate of fans who are not called.
Shelf and field intelligence for a beauty brand. Revenue forecasts for every shelf move, field staffing optimization, and AI checks of shelf photos. Fixing the retailer data feed alone recovered about $1M a week in sales.
In-store computer vision for a retail analytics company. Vision models run on edge devices in each store. They count 98% of entries with zero false counts, and store no video or faces.
AI legal review for true-story TV scripts at a global media company. Attorneys start from an AI first pass that flags defamation, false light, and privacy risks. A review that took about 7 hours now takes about 1.
Most pay models were built before AI changed how fast engineers can work. Ours wasn’t: you get a base salary plus an uncapped quarterly bonus based on the work you ship, so the more you do with AI, the more you earn. Last quarter, every full-quarter engineer beat their baseline.

Tenex is intense by design. The pace is fast, and the standards are high. People share what they learn, challenge each other, and step in to help, so the bar is high and so is the support.
This is probably not the right place if you want a narrow scope, a predictable pace, or distance from customers. It is built for engineers who want responsibility, hard problems, and a steep learning curve.
We’re bootstrapped and profitable, and we reinvest what we earn into tools, research, and products of our own. Over time, that’s how we build a modern-day Bell Labs: a place where solving today’s problems gives us the means to tackle bigger ones.

You’ll own client workstreams end to end: find where AI adds real value, define what gets built, drive adoption, and keep proving out the business results. You’ll report to an Engagement Manager and will partner with a Forward Deployed Engineer who owns architecture and delivery.
We look for strategists who:
Have changed how a team works, and can explain what they changed, why, and what happened.
Turn unclear business problems into requirements, priorities, and a plan an engineer can act on.
Can explain technical tradeoffs to a CEO
Use AI tools daily to solve problems
You will learn to run diagnostics that surface real value drivers, scope engagements an engineer can build against, and manage transformation rollouts and adoption.
The strategists we put in front of clients are the product, so hiring is the most important decision we make each week. Our strategists have worked at firms like McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte, EY, PWC, Accenture, and have founded AI consultancies of their own.
Four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations for a national insurer. We identified the ten highest-return AI opportunities, presented a roadmap, and delivered the first two.
Two-week sprint to define an agent’s requirements for a healthcare system. We Prototyped it with engineering and managed its rollout across three hospitals.
AI training program built across a private equity firm’s portfolio. We developed the playbook, led training, and prepared internal champions to carry the work forward after the engagement ended.
Base $130K-$180K • Quarterly bonus $5K-$15K
Tenex is intense by design. The pace is fast, and the standards are high. People share what they learn, challenge each other, and step in to help, so the bar is high and so is the support.
This is probably not the right place if you want a narrow scope, a predictable pace, or distance from customers. It is built for strategists who want responsibility, hard problems, and a steep learning curve. We work from our New York City office five days a week and travel to client sites about once a month
We’re bootstrapped and profitable, and we reinvest what we earn into tools, research, and products of our own. Over time, that’s how we build a modern-day Bell Labs: a place where solving today’s problems gives us the means to tackle bigger ones.
Medical insurance with PPO and HSA options, plus dental and vision
HSA, Healthcare FSA, and commuter benefits
100% employer-paid life and AD&D insurance
100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance
Responsible PTO: take what you need
We work from our New York City office five days a week. Expect to travel to client sites approximately once a month.

Tenex is intense by design. The pace is fast, and the standards are high. People share what they learn, challenge each other, and step in to help, so the bar is high and so is the support.

We’re bootstrapped and profitable, and we reinvest what we earn into tools, research, and products of our own. Over time, that’s how we build a modern-day Bell Labs: a place where solving today’s problems gives us the means to tackle bigger ones.

We build for Fortune 500 companies across media, healthcare, retail, finance, and sports.\n\nAnthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor build the frontier. As their trusted implementation partner, we turn technology into reliable systems businesses use every day.\n\n \n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nYou’ll own client workstreams end to end: find where AI adds real value, define what gets built, drive adoption, and keep proving out the business results. You’ll report to an Engagement Manager and will partner with a Forward Deployed Engineer who owns architecture and delivery.\n\nWe look for strategists who:\n\n - Have changed how a team works, and can explain what they changed, why, and what happened.\n\n - Turn unclear business problems into requirements, priorities, and a plan an engineer can act on.\n\n - Can explain technical tradeoffs to a CEO\n\n - Use AI tools daily to solve problems\n\nYou will learn to run diagnostics that surface real value drivers, scope engagements an engineer can build against, and manage transformation rollouts and adoption.\n\nThe strategists we put in front of clients are the product, so hiring is the most important decision we make each week. Our strategists have worked at firms like McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte, EY, PWC, Accenture, and have founded AI consultancies of their own.\n\n \n\n\nRECENT WORK\n\n - Four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations for a national insurer. We identified the ten highest-return AI opportunities, presented a roadmap, and delivered the first two.\n\n - Two-week sprint to define an agent’s requirements for a healthcare system. We Prototyped it with engineering and managed its rollout across three hospitals.\n\n - AI training program built across a private equity firm’s portfolio. We developed the playbook, led training, and prepared internal champions to carry the work forward after the engagement ended.\n\n \n\n\nHOW WE PAY\n\nBase $130K-$180K • Quarterly bonus $5K-$15K\n\n \n\n\nHOW WE WORK\n\nTenex is intense by design. The pace is fast, and the standards are high. People share what they learn, challenge each other, and step in to help, so the bar is high and so is the support.\n\n \n\nThis is probably not the right place if you want a narrow scope, a predictable pace, or distance from customers. It is built for strategists who want responsibility, hard problems, and a steep learning curve. We work from our New York City office five days a week and travel to client sites about once a month\n\n \n\n\nOUR VISION\n\nWe’re bootstrapped and profitable, and we reinvest what we earn into tools, research, and products of our own. Over time, that’s how we build a modern-day Bell Labs: a place where solving today’s problems gives us the means to tackle bigger ones.\n\n \n\n\nBENEFITS\n\n - Medical insurance with PPO and HSA options, plus dental and vision\n\n - HSA, Healthcare FSA, and commuter benefits\n\n - 100% employer-paid life and AD&D insurance\n\n - 100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance\n\n - Responsible PTO: take what you need\n\n \n\n\nWORKING AT TENEX\n\nWe work from our New York City office five days a week. Expect to travel to client sites approximately once a month.","compensation":{"compensationTierSummary":null,"scrapeableCompensationSalarySummary":null,"compensationTiers":[],"summaryComponents":[]}},{"id":"1fbbce6f-ca0c-4742-9145-031b8e881bfa","title":"Recruiter","department":"People","team":"People","employmentType":"FullTime","location":"New York City","shouldDisplayCompensationOnJobPostings":false,"secondaryLocations":[],"publishedAt":"2026-06-27T18:02:17.335+00:00","isListed":true,"isRemote":false,"workplaceType":"OnSite","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"New York","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"New York City"}},"jobUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tenexlabs/1fbbce6f-ca0c-4742-9145-031b8e881bfa","applyUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tenexlabs/1fbbce6f-ca0c-4742-9145-031b8e881bfa/application","descriptionHtml":"The Fortune 500 is rebuilding itself right now. Every company over a billion in revenue is asking the same question: what does it mean to run this business if AI does half the work in five years? Most don't know how to answer. That's why they call us.
Tenex is the partner ambitious companies hire when the stakes are too high to get AI wrong. We embed elite teams directly into their operations, find the bets that actually move the business, and ship the work that makes them AI-native. The clients are sharp. The problems are unforgiving. The work has to land.
We get to do this work alongside the people building the frontier. Anthropic and OpenAI are formal partners, and we sit in the room with their Applied AI teams on real client problems. Vercel, Lovable, and a growing list of the most important companies in AI are partners too. We were the partner Anthropic named on the Claude for Small Business launch, delivering AI fluency training across various US cities, and workflows we built ship inside Claude for Small Business today.
The bar for joining is high. We hire people with high agency and high urgency, who care less about where they trained and more about what they've built. If you want to spend the next chapter of your career building the team that decides where Fortune 500 companies go next, alongside the best operators in the industry and the labs building the technology, this is the place.
Everything we sell is people. The elite teams we embed into client operations are only as good as the talent we put in the room, which means recruiting isn't a support function here. It's how the business is built.
That's what Recruiters at Tenex are hired to own. This is a craft role, and a lean one. We run recruiting with a small team, which means you own your searches full cycle, from the first outbound note to the signed offer, for the AI Strategists, Forward-Deployed Engineers, and operators who go straight into our toughest client work. There's no large team to hand work off to. You're the first person a candidate meets and the one accountable for whether they're sharp enough to clear our bar.
You won't work off a req list. We expect you to take ambiguous, high-level direction from a hiring manager and turn it into a sharp, targeted search, knowing exactly who you want before the role even opens. You'll hold strong opinions on talent, defend them with evidence, and push back when the bar is at risk. Searches are owned, not handed off, so context never gets lost between stages.
Two roles make up most of your pipeline: Forward-Deployed Engineers and AI Strategists. Those are the searches you'll run again and again, with the occasional ad hoc role mixed in as the business needs it. Going deep on these two profiles, knowing exactly what great looks like and where to find it, is most of the job.
We don't recruit the way most firms do. We expect you to live in the modern agentic AI stack as a daily practitioner, using it at every stage from sourcing to screening to closing, compressing a search that used to take a month into something faster. You're a sourcer at heart who doesn't wait for inbound.
The goal is simple to state and hard to hit: the people you place should raise the bar of the firm, measured by the quality of who joins and how fast we close the searches that matter. Nothing else really counts.
This role will report to our operations leader and partners closely with hiring managers across Strategy and Engineering. Plan on being in the office five days a week with the rest of the team.
Own full-cycle recruiting for our two core searches, Forward-Deployed Engineers and AI Strategists, plus ad hoc roles as they come up, from first touch to signed offer
Partner closely with hiring managers to understand each role deeply, then translate abstract asks into concrete target lists, calibration, and a close plan
Build deeply targeted sourcing strategies. Know the companies, the teams, and the individual people worth pursuing before a search opens
Run candidate process with urgency and care. Same-day follow-up, next steps booked before you hang up, no candidate left chasing us
Use the agentic AI stack hands-on across sourcing, screening, and closing, and push the team on where to automate next
Manage pipeline data with integrity and bring evidence to calibration conversations. Spot funnel problems early instead of relying on gut
Drive offers end to end, including extending, negotiating, and closing
Protect the bar. You're the filter that keeps high-agency, high-urgency people moving forward and everyone else out
Lead the work that raises how recruiting operates here: interview loops, scorecards, interviewer training, and the playbooks the rest of the talent team runs on the next search
5+ years of full-cycle recruiting or sourcing experience at a high-growth technology company or startup
A track record hiring for genuinely hard roles. You can hold a credible conversation with a hiring manager about the work, not just the title, and walk through exactly who you placed and why they cleared the bar
Daily, hands-on use of the modern agentic AI stack across every stage of the funnel (Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, and whatever ships next week). You don't just know these tools, you recruit with them, and you're a sourcer at heart who doesn't wait for inbound
A strong storyteller in writing and conversation who follows up without being chased
Comfortable influencing at every level of an organization, anchored on data rather than gut
Operationally sharp and detail-oriented. You build systems, keep a clean pipeline, and create structure when the path isn't fully drawn yet
Genuine care for the candidate experience. How someone is treated through the process is as much a reflection of Tenex as the offer itself
High ownership, low ego, and a builder's instinct
Background recruiting technical or strategy talent at an AI-forward company, a fast-growth startup, or a top search firm
Experience standing up recruiting process and tooling from scratch as a team scaled
You get to build the team that does the work, not as a back-office function but as the thing the whole business depends on. You'll recruit the people who sit in the room with Anthropic and OpenAI's Applied AI teams, for clients whose AI bets will define the next decade of their industry. The work is real, the consequences are real, and the team you do it with is the kind of group you don't get to assemble twice in a career.
OTE is $105,000 to $160,000, depending on experience. Recruiters will earn a performance-based discretionary bonus tied to hiring outcomes and contributions to the function. Compensation may also include equity and other long-term incentives.
Comprehensive medical (PPO and HSA options), dental, and vision
HSA, Healthcare FSA, and Commuter Benefits
100% employer-paid life insurance + AD&D
100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance
Responsible PTO. Take what you need.
We work in person from our New York City office five days a week. The best ideas come from being in the same room. Faster collaboration, real-time problem solving, stronger relationships, sharper execution.

You’ll own client projects end to end: find where AI adds real value, decide the technical plan, build the whole system, and keep improving it in production. You’ll lead a few projects at a time in a pod run by an engineering manager.
We look for engineers who:
Have shipped and supported production software.
Have built reliable systems with LLMs.
Can explain decisions to a CEO or an engineer.
You will learn to structure work for agents, engineer context, evaluate outputs, and decide where people stay in control. Every project leaves behind agent systems, evals, and tools that make the next one faster.
The engineers we put in front of clients are the product, so hiring is the most important decision we make each week. Our engineers have worked at Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, AWS, DoorDash, Coinbase, and Oracle, and many have founded companies.

Shelf and field intelligence for a beauty brand. Revenue forecasts for every shelf move, field staffing optimization, and AI checks of shelf photos. Fixing the retailer data feed alone recovered about $1M a week in sales.
In-store computer vision for a retail analytics company. Vision models run on edge devices in each store. They count 98% of entries with zero false counts, and store no video or faces.
AI legal review for true-story TV scripts at a global media company. Attorneys start from an AI first pass that flags defamation, false light, and privacy risks. A review that took about 7 hours now takes about 1.

Tenex is where builders, operators, and problem-solvers come together to help the world’s most ambitious companies go from AI-absent to AI-native. We work at the intersection of strategy and engineering, embedding elite AI SWAT teams directly into organizations to turn complex, high-stakes problems into real, measurable outcomes. We don’t do slide decks and hand-offs; we sit in the trenches alongside our clients to build & drive real transformation.
We operate with the speed of a startup and the rigor of a storied institution. Our culture is built on intellectual curiosity, radical ownership, and a belief that exceptional work comes from diverse teams who are empowered to challenge assumptions, move fast, and hold each other to a higher standard. If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.
THE ROLE
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and storytelling. You’ll ship production AI systems — walking into client codebases and delivering working AI workflows that change how organizations operate — while documenting the work publicly. You’ll build with frontier AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor), own features end-to-end from architecture through deployment and client relationships, and turn what you learn into educational content for operators and founders. You’ll lead customer workshops ranging from hackathons to function-specific training, and report directly to co-founder Alex Lieberman.
The emphasis is on production systems that run independently and on content that moves audiences from observers to operators.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
BUILD
• Ship real software and internal tools while documenting the process
• Walk into client codebases and deliver working AI workflows
• Design reliable, auditable agent systems with humans in the loop
• Ramp quickly into unfamiliar technology stacks
• Leverage agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and iterate on systems as they scale in production
CREATE & TEACH
• Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks explaining your builds
• Translate AI capabilities into actionable language for non-technical audiences
• Lead workshops and hackathons (minimum 2x/month) that move participants from observers to operators
• Test new models and tools as they release, with informed opinions
• Establish a repeating cycle of building, content creation, and workshops
• Share learnings across engagements to compound team impact
QUALIFICATIONS
• 3+ years shipping production software end-to-end, using AI coding tools in production
• Demonstrated ability to turn complex problems into scalable systems
• Regular use of AI coding tools in your workflow, with deep knowledge of the current AI landscape
• Ability to teach technical concepts, including to non-technical audiences
• Creator’s instinct for identifying shareable moments and producing content end-to-end
• Strong operational discipline managing multiple projects and client workstreams
• Intellectual curiosity about the evolving AI landscape
• High ownership with a collaborative approach to raising team standards
BONUS
• Public work artifacts—open source, side projects, talks or writing on applied AI
• Experience shipping production agentic systems (not POCs)
• Experience creating content online
• A small, but mighty following online
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
• $240,000–$320,000 OTE
• Medical (PPO/HSA), dental, and vision coverage
• 100% employer-paid life insurance and disability coverage
• Commuter benefits
• Flexible PTO
Tenex embeds engineering pods inside Fortune 500 companies to build and ship AI systems. Our AI Strategists and Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with client teams from the first week of an engagement, which means every person we hire has to be capable of representing us in a senior client environment almost immediately.
We are growing from 50 people to 150. That is approximately 100 hires, and the majority of them are Strategist and Engineer roles with a high bar and a competitive market.
Hiring is currently the most important and most difficult constraint on this business. It determines which engagements we can win, how well we deliver them, and how quickly we can grow. Nothing else we do matters if we cannot consistently find and assess the right people.
We will not reach 150 people by repeating the process that got us to 50. This role exists to build a hiring process that is repeatable, measurable, and fast enough to support that growth, and then to run it.
You will own the top of the funnel and candidate screening. That means you will source candidates, run outreach, conduct first round conversations, and determine who moves forward in the process.
This is an entry level role with an unusual amount of responsibility. You will speak with more candidates in your first year than most recruiters do in three, and your assessments will directly influence who we hire.
Sourcing and outreach
You will identify and source candidates from MBB firms, Big 4 consultancies, Palantir, and AI-native companies, and you will develop new sources as the existing ones are exhausted.
You will write and run outbound campaigns over LinkedIn and email, and you will own the quality of that writing rather than sending templates someone else wrote.
You will test messaging variants against one another, measure reply and conversion rates, and discontinue approaches that do not perform.
Screening
You will conduct first round conversations with candidates across both the Strategist and Forward Deployed Engineer tracks, which requires you to understand what strong performance looks like in each.
You will assess candidates against our rubrics for technical depth, client presence, and ownership, and you will help improve those rubrics as you learn where they produce the wrong answer.
You will make screening recommendations and explain your reasoning to hiring managers, including in the cases where they initially disagree with your read.
Hiring data
You will own our hiring metrics, including pass through rates by stage and by source, time to offer, offer acceptance rate, and the points in the process where candidates most often withdraw.
You will present those numbers in weekly hiring reviews and recommend specific changes based on what they show, rather than reporting them and waiting for direction.
Process and documentation
You will maintain our compressed one week interview loop as candidate volume increases, which becomes meaningfully harder as more interviewers and more open roles enter the process.
You will document what works clearly enough that the next person we add to this team can execute it without your involvement.
You will identify the points where the process slows down or produces inconsistent outcomes, and you will propose and implement fixes.
Forward planning
You will build candidate relationships for roles we expect to open in the next two quarters, not only for roles that are open today.
We want to be direct about how this role is intended to develop, because it is a significant part of what makes it worth taking.
This is not a permanent recruiting role. We are hiring you into talent because talent is the largest constraint on the business right now, and we need someone capable to own it.
After approximately twelve to eighteen months, assuming you have built a process that runs reliably and can be handed to someone else, we expect to move you into whatever the largest constraint on the business is at that time.
We cannot tell you today what that will be. Based on where the company is heading, the most likely areas are delivery operations, finance and revenue operations, client operations, or a role directly supporting our commercial function.
What we can commit to is that we will move you toward the hardest available problem rather than leaving you in a role you have already solved. That is the basis on which we expect you to join, and it is how we intend to develop the people in this seat.
You have between zero and two years of full time experience. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply, and we are more interested in how you think and communicate than in where you have previously worked.
You write clearly and persuasively, because the majority of your first interactions with candidates will happen in writing and the quality of that writing determines whether they respond at all.
You are comfortable being given an incomplete brief and working out the rest independently, and you will ask for direction when you need it rather than stalling.
You can build a funnel model in a spreadsheet without needing to be taught how, and you are comfortable defending the assumptions behind it.
You can sustain a high volume of conversations and frequent rejection, both from candidates who decline us and from candidates you have to decline.
You have genuine interest in AI and in what separates a strong engineer or strategist from an average one, because you cannot accurately screen for capabilities you do not understand yourself.
You will hold a defensible position when a more senior person disagrees with your assessment of a candidate, and you will change your position when they give you a better argument.
This is not a coordination role centered on scheduling and interview logistics.
This is not a role with an established process waiting for you to execute. You will be building the process while the company is actively using it, which is more demanding and more interesting than the alternative.
This is not a remote role. Our team works from our New York office, and the screening work benefits substantially from proximity to the hiring managers you support.
