<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>About InstaLILY</strong></h2> <p><a href="https://portal.instalily.ai/i/homepage" target="_blank">InstaLILY</a> is an AI products and infrastructure company that puts execution at the frontier of enterprise AI. That work begins with <a href="https://portal.instalily.ai/i/lily" target="_blank">Lily™</a>, 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.

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.</p> <h3><strong>How We Work</strong></h3> <p>We 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.</p></div><h2><strong>The Role</strong></h2> <p>You'll be the named InstaLILY point of contact for a portfolio of post-pilot enterprise customers.
