Tech Media Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Sierra, we’re building a platform to enable every company in the world to build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We partner with industry leaders such as SoftBank, Uber, Rivian, CLEAR, and Sutter Health. We are primarily an in‑person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.

We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.

Our co‑founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co‑CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google’s earliest product managers and co‑creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.

• We work with some of the world's most influential and recognizable companies, from global telecommunications providers and leading media brands to technology platforms that power businesses worldwide.

• We build agents for the moments that matter, helping our customers rise to the occasion when service disruptions, major product launches, or global events like the World Cup drive millions of customer interactions.

• We bring Sierra’s Horizon vision to TMT by building agents that transform the entire customer relationship:

  • Telecommunications: Turn one of the most frustrating customer experiences into one of the most personal, with agents that understand each subscriber, optimize their plan and savings, anticipate opportunities to add value, and earn their loyalty over time.

  • Media: Turn every subscription into an ongoing, personalized relationship, with agents that help each subscriber get the most from their experience through the right content, offer, plan, and support from their free trial through retention.

  • Technology: Bring the white‑glove customer experience traditionally reserved for the largest enterprise accounts to every customer, helping them adopt the product, discover new ways to get value, expand their usage, and successfully renew.

As an Agent Strategist, you own how Sierra’s AI agents come to life for our customers — from first pilot to a production agent handling thousands of conversations a day. You sit at the intersection of product, building agents and customer‑facing work, and stay just as close to the technology as you are to the people you build for. You transform a customer’s thorniest, highest‑stakes problems into agents that measurably move their business.

• Own the Agent Development Life Cycle. Take agents from initial scope through conversation design, tooling, and evaluation, to launch and continuous iteration in production — translating business goals into an agent that outperforms, and tuning relentlessly until it’s the best version of itself in the real world. You’ll have real ownership and autonomy over the outcome.

• Be the trusted strategic advisor to enterprise leaders. Sit shoulder‑to‑shoulder with our customers’ executives, understand what success actually means to their business, and shape the AI strategy that gets them there.

• Partner with the customer’s working teams day to day. Run working sessions, troubleshoot the agent as issues come up, and make the calls that keep the build on track for launch.

• Directly impact product. Surface unmet needs from your customer work, and feed them back to research and platform to shape where Sierra goes next.

These are the kinds of projects strategists on our TMT team work on:

• Scope and launch a subscription‑retention agent for a telecommunications or media company, then tune it to save more at‑risk customers while preserving trust and brand voice.

• Launch a top‑of‑funnel sales agent for a telecommunications provider that qualifies prospects, recommends plans and devices, and converts interest into new subscriptions.

• Build a new‑subscriber onboarding agent that activates service, ports numbers, configures devices, and reduces early‑life churn.

• Create a proactive, long‑running agent that detects service or account issues, reaches out across channels, and manages resolution before the customer contacts support.

• Develop a media growth agent that drives content discovery, trial conversion, plan upgrades, and subscription renewal.

• Partner with Product to develop capabilities for TMT‑scale traffic, including low‑latency voice, multilingual experiences, proactive communications, and resilient performance during major launches or service events.

• Customer obsession. Genuine energy being in front of customers — understanding their business and needs, thriving in complex organizations, and building trusted relationships.

• Communication. Clear, direct, and persuasive across technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Strategic problem‑solving in ambiguity. Strong analytical and critical‑thinking skills to break down complex problems, spot risks early, and adapt as things change fast.

• Technical aptitude. Comfortable engaging directly with technical concepts — reading API documentation, understanding data models and system architecture, and following engineering tradeoffs in a design discussion.

• Ownership and delivery. A track record of running multiple complex, high‑visibility projects at once and driving them to outcomes.

• Interest in telecommunications, media, and technology. Experience in telecom, streaming and digital media, enterprise or consumer technology, or subscription businesses — and familiarity with customer care, billing, identity, content, or technical support systems — is a strong plus.

• Experience building or deploying AI/LLM agents in production — hands‑on with the tools behind them (eval frameworks, agent tooling, RAG, prompt engineering) — working closely with technical counterparts.

• You’ve been a founder, founding team member, or operator — you know how to balance craft, ownership, and speed.

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience — and/or an MBA or comparable experience at the intersection of technology and business.

• Client‑facing consulting, solutions, or strategy experience in a technically complex environment.

• Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.

• Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers’ business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.

• Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn’t right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self‑reflect to continuously self‑improve.

• Intensity: We know we don’t have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn’t, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.

• Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other’s personal and professional achievements.
