Familiar with database systems and cloud environments (e.g. AWS, Azure, or GCP)
Working with IDEs powered by AI such as Cursor.AI
Excited to gain experience in real-world applications of AI
Curious, resourceful, and ready to take initiative
Open to receiving mentorship and feedback
Committed to equitable innovation in science, health, and government
Bonus if You Have…
Experience with version control (Git), or collaboration tools like Jupyter or VS Code

Agentic Automation Consultant | Remote | US
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an Agent Automation Consultant to design, build, and deploy AI agents that automate Mind Moves’ internal operations. This is not a role where you use AI to work faster – it’s a role where you build AI that does the work and recursively improves.
You’ll take operational workflows – contractor onboarding, staff time allocation, subcontract reviews, market-rate research, process documentation, and more – and decompose them into agent architectures: skills, tools, evals, memory, and orchestration layers that run with minimal supervision and get better over time.
We’re a small team and you’ll have real autonomy. Your job is to take Mind Moves from “AI-assisted operations” to “agent-operated operations”.
This is a fixed-term contract focused on standing up the foundational layer: identifying the highest-leverage workflows, building the first generation of agents, and leaving behind reusable infrastructure and documentation the team can build on.
You’ll collaborate with client leads, business operators, other consultants, and the Mind Moves project team. Interface with world-renowned professionals, make a real difference for scientific discoveries with an opportunity to upskill with concrete experience in the AI space. You’ll be on the leading edge of new tech, in a creative space, shaping and steering future development in health and medicine.
