FAR.AI is seeking a senior technical contractor to streamline and upgrade our event operations infrastructure. We run high-impact events that convene experts to tackle key challenges in our field. Our operations depend on robust, well-structured databases and smooth communication systems. We're currently upgrading our infrastructure and are seeking short-term senior support to move fast and set us up well.
Specifically, we’re looking for a senior technical contractor to streamline and upgrade our event operations infrastructure (within Airtable) over a ~3-month period. This includes cleaning up existing data, building automations, and ensuring clean data flow across tools that support attendee management, communications, and event logistics. There's potential for this to be a longer-term contract role if there’s mutual interest.

Identify bottlenecks and implement automations for currently manual tasks (e.g., visa and financial aid letters, speaker form tracking, attendee sorting/prioritization)
Design scalable, easily-maintainable systems for future events
Build robust comms pipelines
Build standardized, error-resistant systems for mass personalized communication (e.g., mail merges with transport/logistics/payment details)
Improve tracking and follow-up pipelines for attendee tasks (RSVPs, forms, onboarding)
Use AI tools to reduce repetitive tasks and boost team productivity
Maintain clean, real-time data across platforms like Airtable, Swapcard, Sheets, and Slack
Manage syncs between Airtable and platforms like Swapcard and Slack
Create robust interfaces for data visualizations
Support creation of speaker/moderator documentation using structured data, and conversion of relevant information to Sheets
Coordinate with technical contractors as needed for custom integrations (e.g., APIs)
Who You Are
Experienced with Airtable (or ability to become rapidly familiar), scripting, automation no-code tools, and modern AI assistants
Skilled programmer comfortable with both code and no-code tools. Bonus: Prior experience in events-focused systems
Systems thinker who designs for long-term usability and team-wide clarity (for technical and non-technical users)
Proactive; identifies and fixes issues without being prompted
Can work independently and prioritize high-impact improvements
Strong communicator who can interface effectively with technical and non-technical teammates
