Company Overview
The Fundworks, LLC is a provider of alternative financing to small businesses and merchants, focusing on both healthy and challenged companies. We ourselves are a team of entrepreneurs who have spent our careers growing small entrepreneur and family-owned companies. We are looking for the right individual to join our team, who is ready to learn and use their skills and experience to add value to our ever-growing company.
About the Role
The Fundworks is rapidly integrating AI into everything we do. We're seeking a hands-on technologist with strong coding skills and deep knowledge of AI implementation for process improvement — someone who loves experimenting with AI tools, writing code to build practical solutions, and turning ideas into real productivity gains.
This is not a research or academic role — it's a builder position. You'll spend most of your time coding lightweight internal tools, implementing AI-driven automations and workflows, and driving measurable process improvements across the company — including enhancing our risk models and risk-based decision-making.
You'll work directly with leadership, enjoy high ownership, and help shape our AI strategy from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities
AI Experimentation & Implementation

Drive internal AI initiatives by testing tools, exploring use cases, and rapidly prototyping and coding solutions
Build lightweight AI-powered tools, copilots, automations, and knowledge assistants using LLMs and custom code
Identify creative AI applications across departments (operations, sales, HR, finance, underwriting, and more) with a focus on process improvement

Workflows, Process Improvement & Risk Enhancement

Spot inefficiencies and design/implement AI-enhanced workflows to significantly boost team productivity
Collaborate with departments to embed AI deeply into daily processes through custom coding and integrations
Leverage AI to continuously improve risk assessments, underwriting processes, and risk-based pricing by refining risk models and delivering more accurate, data-driven insights
Develop and maintain internal resources such as knowledge bases, prompt libraries, reusable frameworks, and automated solutions
Document best practices and help scale AI adoption company-wide

IT & Technology Support

Provide day-to-day support for our Azure cloud environment, access management, and basic security needs
Handle general technical requests and system maintenance
Balance innovation with clean, organized, and secure operations

What We're Looking For

2–5 years of experience in a technical, IT, systems, automation, or software development role
Strong coding experience combined with hands-on implementation of AI solutions for process improvement
Deep practical knowledge of AI tools, including LLMs, prompt engineering, building automations, and integrating AI into workflows
Understanding of risk models and experience (or strong interest) in leveraging AI to enhance risk assessments, underwriting, and risk-based pricing
A creative, proactive "builder" mindset — you enjoy experimenting, writing code, and turning business needs into working AI-powered solutions
Ability to translate business problems into effective, coded AI implementations that deliver measurable improvements
Familiarity with Microsoft Azure or other cloud environments (or strong willingness to learn quickly)
Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, "figure-it-out" environment

Nice to Have

Personal side projects or internal tools built with AI (especially those involving custom coding, process automation, or risk/analytics applications)
Exposure to RAG, APIs, workflow automation platforms, predictive modeling, or similar concepts
Genuine passion for staying ahead of AI trends and applying them practically for business impact, particularly in risk and underwriting domains

Why Join Us?

High visibility and direct impact on how the entire company uses AI for process improvement — including smarter risk assessment and pricing
Freedom to experiment, code, and bring your ideas to life
Opportunity to shape AI adoption and implementation in a growing organization
Blend of creativity, deep technical work, and real business results in a supportive, fast-moving team
