Job description

You can hold ten internal asks in your head, prioritize by leverage, and ship a coherent portfolio of small, well-shaped products. Comfort with ambiguity and with saying no.

  • Taste as a moat

You make UI judgment calls beyond what's in the spec - spacing, motion, information density - because you've internalized why those things matter.

  • Systems thinking about data and tools

You think in terms of where data lives, what to centralize vs. decentralize, and how to expose it at the right level. You design with the data architecture in mind, not just the screen.

  • Communication and craft

You can present your work to engineers, executives, and customers, and explain

why you made a decision in language that matches the audience.

  • Bonus - AWS familiarity

Hi Marley is AWS-only (Cognito, Bedrock, CDK). You don't need to be deep here on day one - your infra counterpart owns the spine - but be willing to go deep when needed., * Max Courage â?? We encourage our team, our customers, and their customers to dream big, try new ideas, and maximize impact by measuring risk.

  • Be Humble â?? We lead with appreciation and promote a culture of humility, compassion, and openness to learn from anyone, anywhere.
  • Ubuntu ("I am because we are") â?? We believe true success is much bigger than any single individual or company. By aligning our individual aims behind a shared purpose, we can achieve our fullest potential - together.

Life at Hi Marley:

Life at Hi Marley is shaped by collaboration, learning, and genuine connection. We're proud to foster an environment where people can do their best work, feel supported, and grow alongside a team that celebrates both individuality and shared purpose.

  • A fun, lively startup culture that embraces creativity and innovation
  • Core values-based leadership that guides our decision-making and daily interactions
  • A culture of engagement, diversity, inclusion, and belonging - everyone's voice matters
  • Flexible, hybrid work environment that values balance and trust
  • Ample opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and make an impact in a fast-growing organization
  • Meaningful work that directly supports our mission to help people and organizations communicate with empathy and clarity

Requirements

  • Hybrid design + engineering chops

You have strong design instincts

and you ship production code. You sketch, code, and merge your own PRs - no handoff.

  • Modern frontend stack

Strong with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui (or equivalent). Comfortable touching the backend when the boundary is unclear.

  • Lives in agentic coding tools

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor - these are your default environment. You don't just "use AI to help"; your craft is shaped by these tools.

About the company

to be a foundational hire on our new AI Operations team. This is an internal-facing role: your job is to build the infrastructure and tools that let every Hi Marley department work together like a beautiful orchestra. That means understanding how data flows through the company and exposing it at the right level for the right audience; designing our internal knowledge systems, the surfaces by which we make decisions, and the patterns by which teams build and design agents; and making the call - over and over - about what should be centralized and what should live with the team. You'll work alongside a Builder - Technical Infrastructure counterpart who owns the deeper technology spine. Together, you're a small team with a very large scope. The shape of this person is rare: design taste paired with the ability to ship. You live in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor - you don't just produce mocks, you build the thing. There's a strong product lean to this role too: you'll be taking a steady stream of signals and requests from across Hi Marley, learning how to prioritize, and managing a portfolio of small, well-shaped internal products at once. If that's you, and you want to set the bar for what great internal experience looks like at a modern insurance company, this is the role for you. Te amwork and shared enthusiasm are a core part of our culture, which is why this role involves joining us in the Boston office for 2-3 days each week. What You'll Do: * Build the internal operating fabric of Hi Marley Design and ship the tools every department uses - internal knowledge systems, decision-making surfaces, dashboards, catalogs, agent-builder UIs. The thing you build is what turns Hi Marley into an orchestra rather than a set of soloists. * Get the data layer right Understand how data flows across the company - what lives where, what should be centralized, what should stay with the team - and design experiences that expose the right slice to the right audience. * Design how we build and ship internal agents Create the surfaces and patterns by which Hi Marley teams compose, register, and trust the agents they author. Discoverable, governable, well-crafted. * Run a portfolio of small internal products Take in requests from across the company, prioritize by leverage, sequence the work, and ship. This isn't one big roadmap; it's many small ones, held together with taste. * Hold the centralized-vs-decentralized balance One of the harder calls in this role is when a capability belongs to the platform vs. when it belongs to a team. You'll make those calls in collaboration with engineering and ops leadership. * Partner with the Builder - Technical Infrastructure They own the platform spine; you own the experience layer on top. You'll be merging each other's PRs. * Use the tools You live in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor (or the next thing if it's better when you read this). You ship at the velocity of a small team because your craft is shaped by agentic coding., At Hi Marley, our culture is built on three core values that every employee embodies
