Slackbot Engineer (AI/LLM) – Build V2 of a Leadership Coaching Bot
Mandala
Mandala helps people in the workplace become more resilient and emotionally intelligent through science-backed, AI-powered coaching.
We’ve built a V1 of the Slackbot. We’re looking for a talented engineer to help us build V2: a smarter, more integrated, and more insightful version of our Slackbot Coach.
This is a 3-month internship with the chance to work directly with me (a founder who’s an HBS grad and former startup operator!).
🚀 What You’ll Build:
- Robust onboarding logic (personalized vs. generic paths)
- Weekly content drip system that can process images and GIFs (Airtable-powered)
- Voice input processing for Slack audio
- Google Calendar integration for contextual nudges
- Org-facing insights dashboard (usage, sentiment, morale trends)
🛠️ Our Stack:
- Slack SDK (Python)
- Claude + OpenAI (chat, embeddings)
- Railway + Postgres
- Langfuse (prompt tracing)
- Pinecone (vector DB)
- Airtable (Content Management System)
👀 What We’re Looking For:
- Strong experience building Slack apps or LLM-based tools
- Product-minded: you think about user delight, not just functionality
- Comfortable working independently and iterating quickly
- Curious about behavior change, leadership, and emotional intelligence
- Bonus: experience with Langchain, Claude, or Slack App Store submission
💰 Compensation:
$30/hour; Equity is available based on fit and commitment
🌍 Location:
Remote (Bay Area preferred, but not required)
📅 Timeline:
Start: ASAP (April 2025)
Duration: 12 Weeks
Potential for longer-term collaboration if it’s a great fit
