This past weekend I enjoyed shouting out 2 professionals who are all-class and looking for their next opportunity.
I wanted to add onto it…. AND include 2 roles were I thought the hiring team was doing an amazing job.
Let’s jump into it 👇🏼
Two world-class professionals I’d bet on…
Operator #1 - Enterprise AI Execution Leader
What they’re known for
Turning enterprise AI ambition into production reality.
This operator is brought in when organizations need to move beyond fragmented POCs, platform sprawl, and stalled modernization efforts and instead build governed, scalable, enterprise-grade AI and data platforms. They sit at the execution layer between C-suite strategy, product, engineering, security, and risk.
Known for operating comfortably in high-stakes, regulated environments where failure is not an option.
Signature wins
Drove $40M+ in platform expansion and technical sales by aligning cloud, analytics, and AI modernization to executive business priorities.
Directed large-scale cloud modernization across AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and hybrid enterprise stacks within Fortune 100 financial institutions.
Took agentic AI, automation, and analytics programs from experimentation into production.
The seat they’re targeting
Senior AI Platform Execution Leader / Enterprise AI Program Leader roles at:
AI & data platform companies
Cloud infrastructure providers
Enterprise software and SaaS firms
Regulated industry platforms (financial services, healthcare, government)
With a long-term path into fractional enterprise AI execution advisory for complex, high-risk transformations.
Why I’m backing
In a world full of AI hype, slide decks, and vaporware, they consistently deliver real platforms, real governance, and real outcomes. They know how to navigate product, engineering, security, compliance, and executive politics and still ship.
They don’t sell tools.
They build operating systems for AI.

Operator #2 - Senior Backend Engineer
What they’re known for
Building and scaling production-grade backend systems that don’t break.
This operator is trusted with the hardest layer of modern platforms: high-throughput services, distributed systems, data migrations, and real-time infrastructure.
They specialize in turning complex business requirements into resilient, high-performance backend architectures used by millions of users.
Signature wins
Reduced platform operating costs by $52K+ per month through API optimization, infrastructure efficiency, and scalable system design.
Led the migration of 245M+ PostgreSQL records with near-zero downtime and zero data loss.
Led backend architecture and delivery across three greenfield platforms, taking them from zero to production for enterprise and scale-up clients.
The seat they’re targeting
Senior Backend Engineer roles at:
Product-led SaaS companies
High-scale consumer or B2B applications
Why I’m backing
Because this operator builds the layer everything else depends on.
They’ve shipped greenfield platforms, stabilized legacy systems, scaled distributed services, and delivered real-time infrastructure at global scale.
They operate comfortably in environments where uptime matters, data volumes are massive, and failure is expensive… + they’re a global hire for the team and this is where the workforce is headed.

Two world-class roles I’d follow…
Company: RevenueCat
Role: Senior Backend Engineer
Why world class?
Go check out the level of detail the job description is written with. I believe I worked with the person in the past who wrote it and I’m blown away, if you’re a candidate this will arm you with amazing information to go have a great interview process. + the company has elite perks.
Company: Parq
Why world class?
I’m more-so bullish on the company and their founder. Ran into him and an old colleague at a happy hour (who made the introduction… thank you Eric!) and I loved their mission + idea behind hiring.
Get the best person in the role. Remove all the noise from the process.
One question to gut check the job search:
When was the last time you interviewed and did you give them a solid reason on why they should bring you into the fold?
Before you leave…
I work with amazing people. If you’re company has an opening and you sit close to the hiring team (or are on it), respond directly here! I’d love to include y’all in my list or make an introduction (for free).

Ps…. we knew customer service was being automated, take a look here 👇🏼
AI that actually handles customer service. Not just chat.
Most AI tools chat. Gladly actually resolves. Returns processed. Tickets routed. Orders tracked. FAQs answered. All while freeing up your team to focus on what matters most — building relationships. See the difference.
