We're building AI employees. Not chatbots. Not copilots. Autonomous digital workers that do real jobs. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR used by hundreds of companies. She researches leads, writes and sends emails in a customer's voice, runs multi-step outbound sequences, manages her own deliverability infrastructure, self-optimizes over time, and handles objections and meeting booking. She's not a tool someone uses. She's a teammate. We're a YC W24 company, have raised $35M+ from investors including Y Combinator, and are at $9M+ ARR. We just launched Ava 2.0, a step change in what an AI employee can do. The engineering problems are hard and the surface area is enormous. Artisan runs a platform that manages hundreds of millions of leads, orchestrates autonomous AI agents in real time, sends email at massive scale across thousands of customer mailboxes, and serves a product suite that replaces an entire sales stack (CRM, inbox, dialer, lead database, campaign engine). The infrastructure that makes all of this work reliably is the job. You'll own the full DevOps and infrastructure layer at Artisan.
