Globally distributed team working at the bleeding edge of CX and AI. Great salary plus the opportunity for equity or stock grants. Learning budget. If you’re growing, so are we. The thrill of building something new. Join us at a stage where your contributions matter most. AI‑fluency. Make AI your second nature. Tackle unsolved problems. We’re redefining how customer experience will look in the next decades. Our Values The people who thrive here are curious, customer‑obsessed, and take ownership without being asked. They fix problems first and explain later. They’re direct about feedback—both giving and receiving it—because they care more about getting things right than being polite. They maintain high standards while moving at startup speed, and they build real relationships with teammates because they know that’s how great work gets done. When things get tough, they adapt and keep pushing forward. Our Approach to AI The people who thrive here treat AI like a natural extension of themselves. They’ve built their own ecosystem of agents—some for research, others for debugging, writing, analysis, or coding. They know which AI works best for what problem. Everyone gets premium accounts (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity Pro, Cursor, Lovable) plus a quarterly budget for new tools. But the magic happens in how we share knowledge. Demo days where someone shows off clever workflows. Slack threads about which model handles a specific use case better. Learning from each other’s AI workflows. At Siena, we’re not just looking for people who can do a job. We’re looking for people who want to break boundaries, create the future, and reshape industries. If that’s you, we look forward to your application.
