Being on the bleeding edge isn't a strategy here. We hack on AI tools because we can't help it. It's how we're wired. We don't talk about the future of engineering. We're living it.  LogisticsThis is a fully remote based role, however candidates must be located in Argentina or Brazil. Note: this is a long-term Independent Contractor position.

Other companies: Basic AI Us: Claude Cowork (Opus 4.7) Why? The same reason you’re still reading the job description Here was our first prompt I need to use Cowork to update a job description for a Senior Python Backend Engineer role. The current job description is in a folder on my desktop called "Job Description" I want Cowork to pull from three Slack channels: #eng-general-int, #product-general-int and #ai-for-makers - plus any design docs from the last three months, to understand what we've actually been shipping. Then update the job description based on what it learns Final output should be a Google Doc. Help me write the Cowork prompt [Our recruiter wrote this prompt, not an engineer]
