AI OPERATOR
REMOTE • CONTRACT • PART-TIME • ASYNC-FIRST
Dirt Digital runs on a hybrid model: AI agents handle strategy, drafting, and intelligence. We need a human operator in the loop. Someone who can pick up agent outputs, QC them, steer them, and ship.
This isn't a traditional marketing or engineering role. You don't need to be a designer, developer, or copywriter. You need to be an AI power user who can operate across all of those domains — someone who's already living in the future of how work gets done.
WHAT YOU BRING
CORE SKILLS — NON-NEGOTIABLE
PROMPT ENGINEERING AT A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL
Not hobby prompting. You build and maintain prompt systems that produce consistent, brand-locked output across formats. You know how to create few-shot examples, voice guidelines, and systematic prompts that scale.
SYSTEMS THINKING OVER INDIVIDUAL SKILL
You think in workflows, not tasks. You can look at a process and design the AI-assisted system that makes it repeatable and compounding. One recording becomes 6 platform-ready assets. One research brief becomes 3 outreach angles.
EDITORIAL JUDGMENT AND QUALITY INSTINCTS
You can look at AI output and immediately know if it ships, needs a human touch, or gets scrapped. You know when a draft sounds like a real person vs. a chatbot. You catch what agents miss.
AI SKEPTICISM, NOT AI ENTHUSIASM
You understand how LLMs confabulate, where they fail, and when not to trust them. You reflexively fact-check AI output. You can design guardrails and validation layers, not just prompts.
ASYNC AUTONOMY
You don't need meetings, standups, or hand-holding. You pick up a brief, execute, and ship. You communicate progress in writing. You document decisions so the team can follow your work without synchronous check-ins.
STRONG PREFERENCE
WHAT DOESN'T MATTER
TRADITIONAL SPECIALIST SKILLS
You don't need to be a senior developer, graphic designer, video editor, or ML researcher. Those are the old categories. We're hiring for the new one.
SPECIFIC PLATFORM EXPERTISE
We don't care which CRM you've used or which analytics dashboard you know. Tools change. Thinking doesn't.
FORMAL AI/ML EDUCATION
No CS degree required. No need to fine-tune models or write Python. We care about what you can do with AI, not what you can explain about how it works.
THE TEST
BUILD YOUR CASE
We don't do interviews. We don't do resumes. You show us what you can build. One project. Our brand. Screen record a demo walkthrough. That's it.
GET THE BRIEF
We give you Dirt Digital's brand assets — logo, colors, typography, and a link to our site. That's it. No wireframes. No required sections. No tool restrictions.
BUILD YOUR CASE
Build a website that demonstrates your AI capabilities using our brand identity. Showcase the range of what you can do — don't tell us about it, show us. Code, images, video, APIs, MCPs, integrations — go as far as you can.
RECORD THE DEMO
Screen record a walkthrough of your website. Show us what you built, how it works, and walk us through your thinking. This is your pitch — narrate it like you're presenting to a client. Keep it tight.
WE REVIEW
We evaluate on speed, brand application, copy quality, tool diversity, technical ambition, and editorial judgment. The ambiguity is intentional — how you interpret the brief tells us as much as what you build.
