🏔️ ABOUT SIERRA STUDIO

Sierra is an AI First engineering studio and tech incubator. We turn our customers’ ideas into reality! We’re based in Los Angeles, but our teammates live all around the world.

We do everything with an AI First approach, including coding, building our own tooling, and exploring incubating ideas that get traction internally.

💼 ABOUT THE ROLE

An EIR is somebody who wants to start their own company and is actively experimenting to prepare.

The idea of an EIR has existed for a while. Mostly in the context of the venture studio model, in which traditional VC is combined with some sort of talent program to incubate businesses. Our version of the role is slightly different.

Sierra is a talent focused organization, but Sierra is self funded through revenue and not the traditional VC model. Our advantage is our team and the understanding we gain while building. Our engineering & hiring services work is a unique opportunity to explore different domains and technologies in a short time to inspire your future startup’s vision.

Sierra EIRs are responsible for leading client projects AND encouraged to start a new business leveraging our resources & ecosystem. EIRs are also involved with building our company AI First. Our environment uniquely evolves our people’s understanding, ideas, and skills to build next-gen companies.

🧠 WHAT MAKES A GREAT EIR?

We’re looking for entrepreneurial minds with a bias to action and a systems-thinking lens. You might be an engineer, a product thinker, or a domain expert who’s felt the itch to build something of your own.

🧬 Core Skills

- High curiosity and fast learning ability

- Strong systems thinking

- Clear communicator across ideas and execution

- Emotionally intelligent and low ego
