AI Engineer - Unusual Ventures

Unusual Ventures is an early-stage venture firm that partners with enterprise software founders from pre-seed through Series B. The company is hiring its first AI Engineer to build and deploy internal AI systems across investing, talent, founder services, finance, and operations, while occasionally supporting portfolio companies with AI features and workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Talent intelligence. Agents and pipelines that find, enrich, and rank engineering and GTM talent for our portfolio — working closely with our Talent Partner to turn our recruiting judgment into repeatable systems
• Sourcing and research. Tools that surface promising companies and founders early, and context-aware research assistants that draw on our CRM, notes, meeting history, and market data to prep partners before a first meeting
• Diligence support. Workflows that speed up market maps, competitive analysis, customer-call synthesis, and memo drafting — without losing rigor
• Firm knowledge. Making what the firm already knows (thousands of founder and customer conversations, past memos, playbooks) searchable and useful
• Operations automation. Removing manual work from portfolio reporting, LP updates, and back-office processes, in partnership with the CFO/O and VP Finance
• Portfolio support. Reusable AI playbooks and tools that our founder services team can deploy across portfolio companies
