The Engagement Stewards at Fitness Interface LLC/RetainTeamGrant.com are looking for other stewards much like ourselves.
This is not quite a sales job.
It is not quite a consulting job.
It is not quite a product job.
It is not quite an engineering job.
And it is definitely not a conventional recruiting job.
It is an Engagement Stewardship job.
Fitness Interface LLC is building a retainer-based professional AI engineering network around a simple proposition:
We Do AI Right—Because We Do IT Right™—together with you—right on the streets where we live.
Our engineers may sit anywhere in the world.
Our clients need someone they can trust—and reach out to— right in their own back yards.
Between the two stands an Agile AI Engagement Steward, perhaps the steward that YOU were always meant to be.
Someone who can walk into a room with an entrepreneur, C-Suite member, or small-medium business owner, listen carefully enough to understand what really hurts, help turn a fuzzy business problem into something an engineering team can actually build, assemble the right people around the work, and then remain present while everybody figures it out together.
All while working within a 100% retainer-based ecosystem.
Someone who can be the leader in the Zoom.
THE PERSON WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You are unusually interdisciplinary.
You may have written production software yourself.
You may have designed full-stack systems involving modern web applications, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, AI models, RAG pipelines, agents, automation, or other emerging technologies.
You don’t have to be the engineer writing every line of code today.
But you should understand engineering deeply enough that excellent engineers recognize you understand what they are doing—and that you know when to get out of their way.
You can also communicate.
Really communicate.
You can sit across from a founder who doesn’t know a vector database from a carburetor and help them understand why an architectural decision matters without making them feel undervalued.
You can write.
You can present.
You can market an idea on all forms of media.
You can tell a story.
You can make complicated things understandable without making them simplistic.
And when there is business to be won, you are comfortable winning it. ABC123 style.
Not through pressure.
Through trust, curiosity, competence, imagination, and demonstrated value.
YOU CAN MOVE BETWEEN WORLDS.
On Monday morning, you might be helping an entrepreneur discover what they actually need.
Monday afternoon, you might be working with engineers to turn that discovery into a practical first engagement.
Tuesday, you might help shape an architecture or challenge an assumption.
Wednesday, you might remove a roadblock between a client and the team.
Thursday, you might recognize an unmet need nobody has articulated yet.
Friday, you might help turn that need into the next retainer.
And somewhere in between, you may write the email, shape the pitch, make the introduction, facilitate the meeting, sketch the workflow, review the prototype, calm the room, ask the uncomfortable questions, celebrate the wins, and make sure everybody knows what happens next.
That is the job. Because that is the job our Chief Engagement Steward, Grant, does now.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE SOME SCARS.
We are particularly interested in people who have actually built things.
Business counts.
Software counts.
Products count.
Communities count.
Campaigns count.
Teams count.
Because people count most of all.
Things that failed spectacularly count too—if you learned something worth carrying forward.
We value demonstrated capability more than pedigree.
A long list of certifications will not impress us nearly as much as evidence that you can encounter an unfamiliar problem, learn quickly, reason carefully, work with good people, and get something useful across the finish line.
YOU UNDERSTAND AI—WITHOUT WORSHIPPING IT.
AI is extraordinary.
It is also just software at the end of the day.
It lives inside systems built by humans, connected to other systems built by humans, serving people with real needs, constraints, risks, hopes, budgets, and deadlines.
So we are looking for someone who understands both the possibilities of modern AI engineering and the durable disciplines of good information technology that have made AI possible in the first place.
Architecture matters.
Security matters.
Data matters.
Testing matters.
Observability matters.
Maintainability matters.
Privacy matters.
User experience matters.
Cost matters.
Because customer-specific OKRs matter first.
And knowing WHY we are building the thing in the first place matters most of all.
You should be comfortable reasoning about modern full-stack AI systems even when somebody else ultimately implements them.
YOU UNDERSTAND AGILE AS MINDSET AND WAY OF THINKING… not as a mere datastore to dust off when you need your certification renewed.
We are not looking for a ceremony cop or walking textbook.
We are looking for someone who understands how people discover useful things together.
Start with what matters.
Deliver something valuable.
Look at what happened.
Learn.
Adapt.
Keep moving.
Make commitments responsibly.
Change direction when reality teaches us something.
Help people communicate before process becomes a substitute for communication.
Because the framework is secondary.
The stewardship is ALWAYS primary.
YOU HAVE HEALTHY COMMERCIAL INSTINCTS.
You understand that meaningful work has to be funded.
You are comfortable developing relationships, discovering opportunities, discussing value, helping scope engagements, and asking clients to make commitments.
You understand that selling excellent professional services should feel less like persuasion and more like jointly discovering whether there is something worthwhile for us to accomplish together.
You care about the engagement after the signature just as much as the engagement before it.
Because the real objective is not winning a project.
It is creating enough continuing value that good clients want us around.
And most importantly—you want to be the Fitness Interface “face character” in every room you enter.
YOU ARE A STEWARD.
This may be the most important qualification of all.
You take responsibility without needing ownership of everything.
You notice people.
You listen.
You follow through.
You protect trust.
You can carry authority without constantly displaying it.
You can disagree without humiliating somebody.
You can lead without making yourself the center of the enterprise.
You know when to speak.
You know when to ask.
You know when to remain silent up and let the engineer engineer.
And when the room gets uncertain, complicated, political, technical, emotional, or simply weird…
You can still stand on your own two feet and help everybody find the next useful move—in the Zoom or not.
THINGS WE WOULD LOVE TO DISCOVER IN YOUR BACKGROUND
Experience across several of these areas would be useful:
- Full-stack software or AI engineering
- AI-assisted application development
- Product discovery and solution design
- Agile/Scrum/Lean delivery with an AI twist
- Technical consulting
- Entrepreneurship
- Professional services
- Client engagement
- Business development
- Marketing or communications
- Public speaking or facilitation
- Team leadership
- Account stewardship
- Systems thinking
- Workflow and process improvement
We are not expecting one candidate to have held thirteen corresponding job titles.
We are looking for evidence that your curiosity and career have repeatedly carried you across boundaries into the integrated, wholistic professional you now are.
THE TEST ISN’T WHETHER YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.
You won’t.
Neither do we.
The question is what you do when none of us knows yet.
Can you ask the question that changes the conversation?
Can you recognize an assumption masquerading as a requirement?
Can you learn something unfamiliar quickly?
Can you bring the right person into the conversation?
Can you distinguish technological possibility from business usefulness?
Can you help a group make a responsible decision with incomplete information?
Can you keep moving without pretending uncertainty does not exist?
Can you keep groking? And be satisfied with never completely grokking?
Because that matters here. And that one K makes all the difference in the world.
HOW WE WORK
We are developing our model in Las Vegas while building a professional network capable of serving clients anywhere there is a metro area supporting sustainable businesses that could benefit from AI and the Agentic Technology Ecology.
Great engineering talent can sit wherever great engineering talent happens to live.
Engineers can sit anywhere—and commute nowhere at all.
Our Engagement Stewards provide the human continuity around that distributed capability: building relationships, understanding needs, bringing the right people together, supporting execution, helping successful engagements grow, and the engineering team member under your care to stay retained.
Camaraderie grows in the trenches.
TRUST blooms in the Zoom.
And just like the Fast and Furious folks, we may be very individualistic, but we sink or swim as an Agile team.
THE CONVERSATION
If this sounds unusually familiar to you, we would like to meet you.
Please don’t prepare for a certification exam.
We are not particularly interested in discovering how many technical buzzwords you can recall on command.
We would rather give you a realistic business situation and spend some time figuring it out together.
We want to see how you think.
How you listen.
How you question.
How you explain.
How you navigate tradeoffs.
How you react when the situation changes.
How you bring people with you.
And whether, when all of us temporarily lose the plot—you might be the person in the room who helps the Zoom find it again.
We aren’t looking for perfection.
We’re looking for another human being willing and able to stand with us, help good people do meaningful work, and keep learning along the way.
Keep Groking. Keep the Faith.
Steward in the loop.
So that Mercy may abound.
Right on the streets where we live.
