AI Solutions Architect

Our experience team works with strategy, verbal and visual design, business, and technology leaders to define how a brand or product behaves and connects it with what they do and why they do it. 

As an AI Solutions Associate, you will help design and implement internal tools that encode how we think, decide, and operate. This is a hands-on role for someone eager to build with AI—creating smart workflows that leverage large language models (LLMs), structured data, and lightweight automation to transform one-off tasks into scalable, reusable systems. You’ll work alongside strategy, product, and creative teams to build internal prototypes that increase our leverage and reduce friction. These tools won’t just make Proto smarter—they’ll also serve as testbeds for future client-facing offerings.
