Stein Solutions helps growing businesses turn AI into practical systems that save time, improve service, and make work easier for real people.

My business is growing, and I am looking for a strong Claude Code builder to work alongside me on internal projects and client systems.

This is not a general virtual assistant role, a Skool management role, or a position for someone who only creates basic AI artifacts.

I am looking for someone who can build, connect, test, improve, and simplify.

Someone who looks at a process and asks: How can we make this easier for the person using it?

What You’ll Do

You will work directly with me to design, build, test, and improve AI-powered systems for Stein Solutions and our clients.

Projects may include:

  • Claude Code applications
  • Client dashboards
  • Internal business tools
  • Automations and integrations
  • AI-powered workflows
  • Workshop and training experiences
  • Prototypes
  • Data workflows
  • Documentation
  • Process improvements
  • Quality assurance and testing

Some projects will begin with a clear plan. Others will begin with a big-picture idea that needs to be turned into a practical, working solution.

You should be comfortable helping define the path forward, not only waiting for detailed instructions.

The Person I’m Looking For

You have strong building skills, but you also notice the details that determine whether something is actually useful.

You do not consider a project complete simply because the code works.

You think about:

  • Whether it should be built at all — just because it can be, does not mean it should be
  • Whether the user understands what to do
  • Whether unnecessary steps can be removed
  • Whether a direct link could replace several instructions
  • Whether a prompt or automation could eliminate manual work
  • Whether the experience feels simple and intuitive
  • Whether the system has been tested thoroughly
  • Whether the final result reflects a high level of care

The right person:

  • Has real experience building with Claude Code
  • Can connect systems, APIs, tools, and workflows
  • Understands more than front-end artifact creation
  • Can review an existing build and identify meaningful improvements
  • Notices unnecessary complexity and simplifies it
  • Pays close attention to details without losing sight of the larger goal
  • Tests their work before considering it complete
  • Communicates clearly and proactively
  • Takes ownership of problems
  • Is comfortable learning unfamiliar tools
  • Understands that technology should serve the person using it

AI Tools and Technical Experience

Claude Code is the primary tool we use. Applicants should already be comfortable using it to build and troubleshoot real projects, not only generate individual pages or artifacts.

I would also like to understand what other AI development tools and environments you have worked in. Experience with tools such as these would be valuable:

  • OpenAI Codex
  • Claude CoWork
  • ChatGPT
  • GitHub
  • APIs
  • Cloudflare
  • Automations
  • Other AI coding agents or development environments

You do not need experience with every tool listed. I am interested in how broadly you have experimented, what you have built, and how quickly you can adapt as the technology changes.

Our Values

Technical ability matters. How you approach the work matters just as much.

Human First

Technology is not the goal. The person using the system is the goal. Just because something can be built does not mean it should be built — when AI can do something, we still ask whether it should. We build tools that reduce frustration, remove unnecessary work, and help people succeed.

Curiosity Driven

You enjoy figuring things out. When you do not know something, you investigate, experiment, test, and learn.

High-Level Service

You care about the final experience. You notice what is confusing, incomplete, broken, or not yet good enough. You take pride in delivering thoughtful, reliable work.

Ownership

You do not wait quietly when you see a problem. You raise concerns, suggest solutions, and help move the work forward.

What You’ll Get

This is a paid contractor role with real responsibility. You will be expected to contribute, solve problems, and produce high-quality work.

It is also an exceptional learning opportunity for the right person. You will receive:

  • Hands-on experience with real client and business projects
  • Direct exposure to AI strategy, product decisions, client delivery, and business operations
  • The opportunity to work closely with me as we turn ideas into functioning systems
  • Experience building solutions that businesses will actually use
  • Room to experiment and recommend better approaches
  • Direct feedback on your work and thinking
  • Increasing ownership as trust develops
  • Exposure to multiple businesses, industries, workflows, and use cases
  • A front-row seat to the growth of a boutique AI consulting and systems firm

This role may be especially valuable for someone who already has strong technical instincts and wants deeper experience applying AI to real business problems.

Pay is based on experience and demonstrated ability, with potential for the role and responsibilities to grow over time.

You will work on your own computer, and I provide access to the tools and accounts the work requires. Because you will be working inside real client businesses, client work is confidential — a simple confidentiality agreement is part of onboarding.

What to Expect After You Apply

Applications close Friday, August 7. They will be reviewed within approximately 7–10 days after that. Every applicant will receive an update.

After the initial review, you will either be invited to the next stage, or receive a message letting you know that you were not selected to continue.

A small number of selected applicants will be invited to complete a paid trial project. The trial will be limited in scope and based on the kind of work this role will perform.

A polished résumé is not required. Evidence of how you build, think, communicate, and solve problems is much more valuable.

Apply

Takes about 15 minutes. Your answers matter more than polish — write like you talk. Applications close Friday, August 7.
