pMelanion Srl, a subsidiary of Melanion Capital, is building an AI-native concierge business in Rome. Our ambition is to create a fully agentic service that understands individual preferences, anticipates needs, and executes complex tasks across travel, dining, experiences, and everyday life. /p pThe principal will be the first user, providing direct feedback and real-world use cases before the service expands to selected clients. We combine the freedom of an early-stage venture with access to an established investment management firm and its professional network. /p h3Role Description /h3 pWe are looking for a hands-on technical builder to turn this ambition into a working product. This is a full-time founding role based in Rome, with flexibility for remote working. /p pYou will design and build agents that can move from understanding a request to researching options, coordinating providers, and completing tasks—with appropriate user approvals. The challenge extends beyond generating recommendations: the system must take action, handle exceptions, retain useful context, and earn users’ trust. /p pWorking directly with the principal, you will own the initial product and technical development. You will choose the stack, ship prototypes, test them against real requests, and develop a service that can support paying clients. Early work will include manually investigating workflows and resolving failures so that you can identify what to automate and how. /p pAs the business develops, you will help shape its commercial model, recruit a technical team, and grow into a broader technology and product leadership role. /p h3Responsibilities /h3 ul liBuild an end-to-end agentic concierge, from conversational interface to task execution.
