Careers
Small team. Operators only.
Echelon builds and runs AI infrastructure inside established companies. Everyone on the team has shipped a system that handled real work in production and stayed on to run it. If that is you, write to Yadel.
The core team is small on purpose. Build capacity comes from Echelon's engineering bench of 100+, so these are operator seats: you run builds with Yadel and a development manager. You do not fill a bench.

01The work
What you would be doing.
Real installs
You build systems that handle a client's real leads, quotes, and invoices, under approvals, and you stay on to run them.
Our own operations first
The engines that run Echelon are built by the same people. Every control ships here before it ships to a client.
A direct line to the founder
Small team. You work with Yadel on every build, and your name is on the weekly report.
02Roles
Six seats. Location and type only.
Every role builds and runs. Nobody here only writes the plan.
Infrastructure architect
Maps the operation with the client, designs the five layers, and writes the brief for every agent: what it reads, what it prepares, and what it may do alone.

AI systems engineer
Builds the agents, the limits, and the console into the client's stack, and runs them in review mode until each action has earned narrow authority.

Integration engineer
Connects the CRM, the inbox, the phone line, and the payment tools, both ways. Verifies every connection before anything depends on it and builds the readback.

03What we look for
Five things, in this order.
- 01Shipped to productionYou have built a system that handled real work for real people, and you stayed on to run it.
- 02Builds inside the toolsYou build into a CRM, an inbox, a phone line, and a payment tool, and you verify a connection before anything depends on it.
- 03Writes it downThe brief, the limits, the approval gate, the weekly report. You can explain what a system may do alone to someone who does not write code.
- 04Output, not hoursYou measure your week by what ran, not by what was logged.
- 05Owns the exceptionsWhen the system escalates, you pick it up, fix the cause, and write down what changed.
04How hiring runs
Three steps, none of them a quiz.
The same shape as an install: a conversation, a map, and a piece of real work in review mode.
- 01
Write to Yadel
One email. What you built, where it ran, and what you ran after it launched. A link to something in production beats a resume.
- 02
A working session
One call on a real process. You map it with Yadel and talk through what you would build, where the approval gates go, and what the system may do alone.
- 03
A scoped build
One scoped piece of real work, in review mode, with the same weekly report we send clients. If it ships, an offer follows.
05Apply
Or use the form.
Same inbox, same reader. Every submission is read by a person.
Your first department
Bring the process you still run by hand.
One mapping call. You leave with the system design, the price in writing, and the date it goes live. The first build lands in two weeks.
