Optional Take-Home

Our optional take-home is a broken Ubuntu server:

A service that won't stay up
A nightly report that hasn't gone out in days
A disk that keeps filling

Fix it, write a script that heals a fresh box, and build a small read-only MCP tool so an AI agent can check on it. 60 to 90 minutes, unpaid, no LeetCode. If that sounds like fun, read on.

About Us

We're a small and growing AI and Microsoft 365 consultancy in Franklin, TN. We build AI agents and automation for small and mid-sized businesses, and harden and run the systems underneath: Microsoft 365 tenants, SharePoint, and Linux boxes.

We're AI-agnostic and use what fits the client, mostly Claude Code, the Microsoft 365 stack with Copilot and Copilot Studio, Gemini and Gemini Studio, and Oracle OBI.

The Role

Agent development (~60%): MCP servers, Claude Code, Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Gemini
Ubuntu administration (~40%): systemd, Docker, patching, backups, monitoring
PeopleSoft experience is a plus
You'll work directly with clients, so explaining things clearly to a small-business owner matters as much as the code
Early-career and career-switchers welcome

We expect you to use AI every day. What we hire for is knowing when it's wrong, so one of our three application questions asks about a time it fooled you.

To Apply

Email your resume to hiring@stratirus.com with short answers to:

A time a client or boss made an unreasonable demand and how you handled it
A time an AI confidently gave you a wrong answer you followed, and how you caught it
Something you've built with AI that you still use

Work samples get strong preference. We read every application ourselves and reply to everyone, so please write your answers yourself.

Process

Email application
A 45-minute video call where you walk us through something you've built
Then a conversation about the role
