About the Role
Sylvan is building autonomous revenue teams to help B2B companies grow and protect revenue from their existing customers by identifying revenue-driving signals and deploying agents that act on them. We work with customers ranging from fast-growth startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Our ambition is to power the top-line of the economy. We are guided by a core principle: no assholes, high mutual respect. We operate at high intensity, but with deep respect. Direct, honest, and no egos — just a shared obsession to win. We’ve raised $11M from world-class investors and strategics including TQ Ventures and HubSpot Ventures. We are a fully in-office company based in New York City. We will only hire A-players and are highly willing to go above-market in ownership, equity, and cash compensation. We want world-class builders who are excited by the opportunity to be part of a category-defining company at the earliest stage. It won’t be easy. We’re going to move fast. But, it’ll be fun.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and delivery of production-grade revenue agents.
- Operate as an IC for the first 3-6 months, then evolve into managing and growing the team while continuing to ship yourself.
- Set the engineering bar for a team where agents write most of the code.
- Review standards, definition of done, release cadence, on-call, incident response, sprint scope and sequencing.
- Hire everyone who comes after, which includes performance management and difficult conversations.
- Own the architecture behind our core agent platform, including the ontology and semantic layer, the signal pipeline, and transformer work.
- Make build-versus-buy calls and infra cost decisions.
- Share technical direction with the CTO and shape the platform, including product roadmap and sequencing, ML approach, model strategy, hiring loop design, and closing candidates.
- Ensure the team's work across deployments decides which patterns generalize into the world model and which are artifacts of a single warehouse.
Requirements
- Deep, current ML across both eras: feature engineering, uplift and causal methods, time series, and calibration alongside transformers, world models, and agent architectures.
- End-to-end delivery ownership where you built the scaffolding rather than inheriting it.
- Fluency in agent-driven development as a practice, having changed how your team reviews, tests, and specs work because of it.
- Willingness to inherit a five-year-old codebase you did not write and improve it incrementally.
- Experience managing people you did not hire, ideally remotely and across time zones.
- High tolerance for ambiguity and unglamorous work.
