Roles worth a look

A pulled, scored shortlist — postings matched against what I actually want (ai orchestration and applied-ai roles — forward-deployed, solutions, implementation, enablement, and ai-operations work — plus supply-chain and operations roles at ai companies, where the operations depth is the qualification. fully remote, hybrid in the research triangle, or commutable in coastal/eastern north carolina. aggregated from many sources and scored for fit), each with a fit score and a one-line why. Each card opens a web search for the role, so you land on the employer's own posting.

The automatic refresh is paused, so this is a snapshot taken on rather than a live feed. Roles found then may already be filled. I still run the pull by hand when I want a fresh look.
