Requirements
  • 0–2 years of experience: Recent grad or 1 year in consulting, strategy, banking, or a comparable analyst role. The strongest candidates pair that analytical training with evidence of shipping things — automations, scripts, side projects, or founding something. You've majored in CS, Engineering, or a related quantitative field, and you can code well enough to build the agent or automation yourself instead of asking Engineering to.
  • Ownership: You see what's needed before being asked. You finish what you start, flag problems and opportunities early, and don't need to be asked twice.
  • First principles thinking: You strip problems down and rebuild from the ground up, not from how things are usually done.
  • Analytical thinking: You break problems down, pull signal from data, and synthesize findings into recommendations that hold up to scrutiny.
  • Comfort with ambiguity: You take open-ended, high-stakes asks and shape them into structured work. Energized by that, not unsettled.
  • Executive instinct: You read situations a step ahead. You anticipate what leadership will need before they ask and build the materials to make decisions faster.
  • Strong writing: Your writing lands at an executive level. You can structure a memo, deck, or board update that gets to the point fast.
  • Stakeholder management: You read the room, manage expectations across leaders and peers, and keep work aligned across teams.
  • AI-native: You use AI seriously, build your own automations to make work faster, and want to keep pushing what's possible.
  • Product fluency: Comfortable going deep on how the product works. Credible enough to support strategic decisions and speak to what we're building.
  • Curiosity about the business: You want to understand how the company actually works.
  • Hybrid availability: 5 days/week in our New York office for first 6 months; then 4 days/week in person and 1 day remote.
Responsibilities
  • Cross-functional projects: Lead discrete projects across functions. Build the systems, ship the work. Drive them to completion without dropping threads.
  • Operating cadences: Help drive the recurring rhythms: leadership meetings and town halls.
  • Materials and decks: Build decks, board prep materials, and internal updates. Clear thinking, clean structure.
  • Build automations and tools: Build the AI tooling and automations that make the Office of the CEO faster. Help the rest of the team build their own.
  • Stay at the frontier: Test new AI tools and models as they release. Build internal agents for the workflows that drag — auto-summaries, briefing prep, draft generation. Run small experiments on how the team operates and scale what works.
  • Internal storytelling: Help the company narrate its progress, like town hall content and the "why" behind decisions. Make sure the team continually knows the arc.
  • Analysis and synthesis: Pull data, synthesize research, and turn findings into a clear POV. Topics shift with what the Office of the CEO is prioritizing.

InstaLILY provides a multi-agent AI platform that helps B2B teams automate complex workflows and streamline operations. It enables building and deploying autonomous AI agents that handle tasks across sales and service, improving decision-making and productivity. The platform uses a Composable Agents Layer to allow seamless integration with existing tools and strong security, while offering customizable AI solutions and pre-built agents for quick adoption. Compared with competitors, InstaLILY emphasizes modular, composable agents and integrated security to fit enterprise needs, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product. The goal is to help businesses adopt AI quickly, boost operational efficiency, and enhance decision-making across teams by automating routine and complex workflows.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 2026 Series B raised $60 million from Energize, Insight, Home Depot Ventures.
  • Revenue grew fivefold in 2025-2026, signaling strong enterprise pull.
  • August 2026 hiring of Adam Isenberg targets wholesale distribution expansion immediately.

What critics are saying

  • ServiceNow, Salesforce, and SAP can bundle similar agents inside existing contracts by 2027.
  • A single enterprise security incident would kill trust in autonomous workflow execution.
  • If deployments plateau, InstaLILY becomes a services-heavy niche vendor, not a platform.

What makes InstaLILY unique

  • Lily embeds inside SAP, NetSuite, Epicor, Salesforce, and on-prem edge systems.
  • InstaLILY claims 1,000 SRS Distribution salespeople use it across 760 branches.
  • The Small Data Center pairs cloud reasoning with private, low-latency execution.

Wilson Sonsini Advises InstaLILY AI on $60 Million Series B

Wilson Sonsini advises InstaLILY AI on $60 million Series B. Client Highlights July 15, 2026 On July 14, 2026, InstaLILY AI, creator of Lily, the world's first AI Forward Deployed Engineer, announced a $60 million Series B round led by Energize Capital. The round included participation from Insight Partners, which increased its investment, and new strategic investors including Home Depot Ventures and United Rentals. The Series B brings InstaLILY's total raised to nearly $100 million, after a year in which the company's revenue grew by a multiple of five. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised InstaLILY on the transaction. Lily goes into a business, learns how it works, builds what the work needs, and gets it running by finding revenue, pricing quotes, planning routes, and diagnosing equipment in the field. Unlike a traditional demo or pilot, it runs the business with people in control, and it goes live in days versus months. After launch, it keeps shipping and gets better the longer it runs. InstaLILY will use the Series B funding to help Lily learn faster, take on more of the work, expand into new industries, and grow the team. The company will also continue building the Small Data Center, the infrastructure that makes always-on intelligence possible inside a business, at a cost and energy profile enterprises can sustain. The Wilson Sonsini team that advised InstaLILY on the transaction included Megan Baier, Sam Obenhaus, and Richard Fielkow. For more information, please see the company's news release and blog post.

InstaLILY raises $60M, launches AI Engineer for enterprise operations.

InstaLILY raises $60M, launches AI Engineer for enterprise operations. The Series B brings InstaLILY's total funding to nearly $100 million as the AI provider expands technology designed to build and maintain customized software for distributors and other operationally complex businesses. InstaLILY has raised $60 million in Series B funding and launched a new AI tool designed to build, deploy and continuously maintain software inside enterprise businesses. The July 14 funding round was led by Energize Capital, with participation from existing investor Insight Partners and new strategic investors Home Depot Ventures and United Rentals. It brings the New York-based company's total funding raised to nearly $100 million. InstaLILY said its revenue increased fivefold during the past year. The company's newly launched tool, Lily, is described as an "AI Forward Deployed Engineer." It learns a company's processes, develops software for its specific needs and integrates that technology into existing enterprise systems. Potential applications include identifying sales opportunities, pricing quotes, planning logistics routes and helping field technicians diagnose equipment problems. InstaLILY said Lily can begin operating within days and remains deployed to adapt the software as a company's systems, data and processes change. "Every company is full of work that only it knows how to do, in sales, in operations, out in the field - work too specific for off-the-shelf software, so it runs on legacy systems and manual workarounds," InstaLILY founder and CEO Amit Shah said in the announcement. "Lily turns that work into software, and it is running in days, not quarters." InstaLILY said the technology has helped one national distributor identify and pursue opportunities that generated more than $200 million in new annual sales. At an industrial supplier, it reportedly automated portions of the complex request-for-quote process, returning hundreds of thousands of work hours annually to the commercial team. The company's distribution customers include SRS Distribution, Imperial Brady, SunSource, Parts Town, Copper State Bolt & Nut, TricorBraun, Radwell International and Harrington Process Solutions. InstaLILY also works with United Rentals, ShipStation Global, Henry Schein and PartsSource, among other companies in construction, logistics, healthcare and field service markets. "At our scale, enterprise AI can start falling behind the minute it goes live because the business never stops changing," SRS Distribution Chief Digital, AI & Innovation Officer Patrick Garcia said. "Lily has helped us build the software our teams need while working within the enterprise platforms, governance, and processes we've already established." InstaLILY plans to use the funding to expand Lily's capabilities, enter additional industries, grow its workforce and further develop its Small Data Center infrastructure. That technology allows AI workloads to operate in the cloud, on company premises or at the edge while keeping customer data private. Founded in 2023, InstaLILY is headquartered in New York and has offices in San Francisco, London and Toronto. Recommended Reading
