About Proton DataLabs
Proton DataLabs helps supply chain and operations teams make better decisions when the answer is not obvious. We work across AI, analytics, operational workflows, and decision support, with a focus on industries such as retail, supply chain, transportation, logistics, and distribution.
About The Role
We’re looking for an AI Solutions & Operations associate to work closely with the founder and help turn ideas, customer needs, and market signals into actionable outcomes. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys learning quickly, using AI creatively, building lightweight systems, researching unfamiliar problems, and helping connect business needs with technical execution. You will be expected to be curious, resourceful, structured, and comfortable figuring things out. You will be close to both the business problem and the technology.
What You’ll Work On
You’ll help across a few connected areas:
- Turn founder ideas and hypotheses into structured research, workflows, and repeatable systems
- Use AI tools to automate repetitive research and operating tasks
- Build lightweight internal tools, dashboards, agents, or workflows when useful
- Maintain clean opportunity, CRM, and knowledge systems
- Prepare concise research and customer briefs
- Track relevant market signals, competitors, customer activity, and industry developments
- Support focused outbound and commercial experiments
- Join selected client calls to help understand technical requirements
- Help assess feasibility, dependencies, implementation effort, and required technical support
- Coordinate with external engineers, specialists, and vendors when needed
- Help evaluate future technical hires or contractors
- Document learnings so useful work becomes reusable instead of being rebuilt every time
What We’re Looking For
You may be a fit if you:
- Learn quickly and enjoy solving unfamiliar problems
- Are very comfortable using AI tools in your day-to-day work
- Have strong research and analytical skills
- Can communicate clearly in writing and conversation
- Can take something vague and turn it into a structured next step
- Enjoy building practical tools, workflows, or automations
- Have enough technical understanding to discuss APIs, data flows, AI tools, integrations, and lightweight applications
- Are comfortable working independently and asking good questions when something is unclear
- Can balance speed with judgment
- Enjoy working across both technical and business problems
Experience With Any Of The Following Is Helpful
- Python, JavaScript, SQL
- APIs and integrations
- n8n, Make, Zapier, or similar automation tools
- AI agents or LLM applications
- Lightweight app development
- CRM or revenue operations tools
- Data analysis or business intelligence
- Supply chain, logistics, transportation, retail, or operations
Note: You do not need to be an expert in all of these. We care more about how quickly you learn, how well you think, and whether you can turn ideas into working outcomes.
Background
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, computer science, data science, business analytics, information systems, operations, or a related field is helpful. Equivalent practical experience is also welcome.
