The Ideal Contractor Profile for Blackout AI Labs

1. The “Builder-Strategist” HybridNot just a coder, not just a consultant — someone who can translate business pain (quoting, pricing, margin leakage) into a working AI/ERP solution.Think: someone who’s been frustrated at a big consultancy’s slowness, now wants to execute directly with speed.2. ERP-Fluent + AI-CapableHas rolled up sleeves inside ERP/CPQ systems (SAP B1, NetSuite, Epicor, Dynamics, Odoo).Comfortable with data modeling (Snowflake/Databricks/dbt) and AI stack integration (Vertex AI, SageMaker, OpenAI APIs).Knows the difference between “neat model” and “production-ready integration.”3. Outcome-Oriented EngineerFrames deliverables in terms of ROI: time saved, margin protected, conversion rate improved.Doesn’t just build; documents, transfers knowledge, and aligns outputs with business KPIs.4. Independent but SOP-DisciplinedThrives as a 1099 contractor: owns their time, self-motivated, requires minimal babysitting.Willing to follow Blackout SOPs for QA, IP security, ROI framing, and knowledge transfer — not a cowboy coder.5. Fast, Adaptive, Commercially SmartCan prototype quickly (90-day sprint) while keeping scalability in mind.Understands client perception — knows how to make the work look as good as it functions.Can flex between data science, integration, and product thinking.

In plain terms:

You’re not looking for “AI researchers” or “ERP admins.” You want contractor-operators who can sit at the intersection of industrial ERP, data engineering, and applied AI — and who get fired up about turning messy quoting processes into profit-driving systems.
