InstaLILY is an AI products and infrastructure company that puts execution at the frontier of enterprise AI. That work begins with Lily™, the world's first AI Forward Deployed Engineer, which learns how a business works, builds the software it needs, and goes live in days. It does not leave when the work ships; it stays and keeps the software working as the business changes. Lily runs wherever the work happens, in the cloud, on-premise, or at the edge, through InstaLILY's Small Data Center, built with NVIDIA technology. Founded in 2023 by Amit Shah and Sumantro Das, InstaLILY has raised nearly $100 million from Energize Capital, Insight Partners, and Home Depot Ventures. Headquartered in New York, with offices in San Francisco, London, and Toronto, InstaLILY serves leading companies across construction, industrial distribution, logistics, healthcare, and other operationally intensive industries.

The TractionRevenue grew 5x over the past year, and Lily has driven over $200M in new annual sales for a single customer. We serve some of the largest operators in our industries, including SRS Distribution (part of The Home Depot family), United Rentals, and Henry Schein, and we work closely with the Google DeepMind and NVIDIA ecosystems.
How We WorkWe work in small teams with real ownership: clear problems, direct access to the customers whose work you're changing, and room to ship. Your code runs in live production systems inside billion-dollar operations, so you see your impact directly. People who do well here want that proximity to the work. We're growing fast, and the people who join now shape what this company becomes. Everything runs on three principles: Customers, Culture, and Code.
The core of this role is owning InstaLILY's social media writing, including LinkedIn and X for the brand, and ghostwriting for our CEO and COO. You also write long-form thought leadership, case studies, newsletters, and the strategic copy that shapes how the company is seen. You own the brand voice. Everything we publish should sound like us.
You're proactive: proposing topics and angles, shaping what we should be writing about, not just executing assignments. You absorb voice quickly and hold the brand line on your own, shipping without daily oversight. Experimentation is core. You form sharp hypotheses and ship tests fast. Double down on what works. Kill what doesn't.
What You'll Do- Brand voice: Own the brand voice across everything we publish. Every piece should sound like InstaLILY.
- Executive social ghostwriting: Write LinkedIn and X content for our CEO and COO, plus InstaLILY's brand presence on both platforms.
- Long-form thought leadership: Pieces on AI agents, enterprise AI, and the future of the industries we serve: industrial distribution, healthcare, pharma, supply chain, manufacturing, automotive, construction, food and beverage, and field services.
- Newsletters: Different newsletters for different audiences.
- Case studies and customer stories: Narrative-driven, specific, credible pieces like our SRS Distribution one.
- Strategic copy and sales enablement: Landing pages, product positioning, one-pagers, customer-facing decks, press release drafts.
- SEO: Write with SEO in mind. Bonus for hands-on experience with Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Google Search Console.
- Experiments and strategy: Form clear hypotheses on what drives traffic, engagement, or pipeline. Ship tests, measure, and think across pieces about what's working over time.
- 3-6 years of writing experience as a copywriter, content marketer, journalist, or technical writer.
- Ghostwriting experience for executives, founders, or public figures. You can absorb voice from limited input (transcripts, prior posts, brief conversations) and produce content in it without daily review.
- Demonstrated writing track record across long-form, social, and editorial formats. You write without filler. Show us what you've shipped.
- Current on the AI and tech landscape: You read Substack, X, serious tech journalism, AI research commentary, and founder discourse online.
- AI-native: Daily user of Claude and frontier AI tools. You know where AI is useful and where it produces slop. Bonus for custom prompt libraries, GPTs, or workflow automations.
- Technical fluency: Comfortable writing about AI agents, enterprise systems, and operational industries with accuracy.
- Numerical fluency: Comfortable with content analytics (Google Analytics, LinkedIn, HubSpot). Bonus for A/B testing or experimentation platforms.
- Experimental mindset and takes feedback well: You think in hypotheses and ship them quickly. Direct feedback doesn't faze you; you absorb it and adjust.
- Writing samples (required): 2-3 with your application, links preferred. Share a ghostwriting sample or describe a ghostwriting project (client type, voice, format, outcome).
- Hybrid availability: 5 days/week in our New York office for first 6 months; then 4 days/week in person and 1 day remote.
- Real traction: The product works, customers are live, and we've already driven over $200M in incremental revenue for customers. This isn't a bet on an unproven thesis.
- AI-native: In how we build, how we work, and what we sell.
- Visibility: Your work sits at the center of how the world sees InstaLILY — what you do here will be visible quickly.
- Stage: Early enough to shape how the company scales.
- Culture: Offices in New York, San Francisco, and London — sharp, low-ego team that keeps raising the bar.
- Growth: The learning curve is steep.
- Salary Range: $100,000–$120,000 per year, commensurate with experience
- Equity: Generous stock options awards and refreshers for top performers
- Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, Well-being stipend, In-office lunch reimbursement, PTO and 10 US Federal Holidays, and more!
