Chief of Agents

Fearless Capital is seeking a Chief of Agents, a unique builder role that merges AI engineering with operational excellence. The successful candidate will design and implement AI agent systems to enhance human performance and streamline workflows across various functions in the organization.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement end-to-end agentic systems that automate complex, multi-step processes across operations, finance, sales, marketing, recruiting, and beyond
• Select, configure, and integrate LLMs, tools, APIs, and orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or custom pipelines)
• Build agents that reason, retrieve, act, and hand off — not just generate text
• Embed with top performers across portfolio companies to map where their time goes and surface the highest-ROI workflows to automate
• Maintain a prioritized backlog of agent projects tied to concrete business outcomes: time saved, revenue unlocked, decisions accelerated
• Think in systems — identify dependencies and build agents that work together, not in isolation
• Establish the tooling stack, prompt engineering standards, memory/context management practices, and eval frameworks across all deployments
• Build observability into every agent: logging, failure handling, and human-in-the-loop escalation paths
• Ensure agents are reliable, auditable, and safe to run in production
• Embed agents into daily workflows across teams — making adoption seamless and resistance minimal
• Train operators on how to work alongside agents: when to trust, override, or escalate
• Document agent capabilities, limitations, and handoff protocols
• Monitor the AI tooling landscape and bring new capabilities into the stack as they mature
• Run structured pilots, measure outcomes, and double down on what works
