Maintain organized records of automation logic and system dependencies
Build repeatable processes that allow successful solutions to scale

Requirements

Professional experience in software development, automation, AI, or a related technical role
Hands-on experience working with LLMs and generative AI
Experience building AI-powered applications, workflows, or automations
Experience integrating APIs and third-party platforms
Programming experience, preferably with Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
Familiarity with AI coding tools and agentic development workflows
Understanding of prompt development and structured AI workflows
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to independently take projects from concept through implementation
Strong written and spoken English
Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Nice to Have

Experience with Make, Zapier, n8n , or similar automation platforms
Experience building AI agents or multi-step agentic workflows
Familiarity with webhooks and event-driven integrations
Experience developing internal business tools
Experience working with structured LLM outputs and tool/function calling
Familiarity with cloud deployment and modern development workflows
Experience evaluating and monitoring AI system performance

Tools & Technologies

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you

Build with AI rather than simply use AI for basic productivity
Enjoy turning manual workflows into automated systems
Can move from an idea to a functional technical solution independently
Understand both software development and business automation
Experiment with new AI tools and technologies regularly
Think critically about AI reliability rather than assuming outputs are correct
Are comfortable troubleshooting across APIs, code, and automation platforms
Prioritize practical business impact over experimentation for its own sake

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your day may include building an AI agent, connecting an LLM to a business platform through an API, developing an automation in n8n or Make, troubleshooting an existing workflow, or creating an internal tool that eliminates repetitive work.

You may also test prompts and agent behavior, evaluate AI output quality, document systems, and research emerging AI technologies that could improve existing workflows.

In short: you turn AI capabilities into practical, reliable systems that automate work and improve business operations.

Key Metrics for Success

AI workflows successfully deployed into real business processes
Reduction in repetitive manual work
Reliability and accuracy of AI-powered systems
Successful API and third-party integrations
Speed from idea to working implementation
Automation uptime and workflow reliability
Quality and maintainability of technical documentation
Measurable operational efficiency created through AI
