You'll partner with business stakeholders to understand workflows and identify high-impact automation opportunities. Your work will span building automations across SaaS tooling, internal systems, and APIs, with a focus on leveraging AI and agentic patterns where they add genuine value while recognizing when simpler, deterministic solutions are more appropriate.

- Partnering with business stakeholders to understand workflows and triage automation opportunities
- Building and deploying automations across various SaaS tools, internal systems, and APIs
- Leveraging AI and agentic patterns when appropriate, while recognizing when simpler solutions are better
- Building with security-by-default mindset, including access controls, secrets management, logging, and sensitive data handling
- Establishing team patterns, documentation, testing, and operational maintenance practices
- Iterating and improving existing systems as the team gains mastery
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience building integrations, internal tooling, or automations in a business or operations setting
- Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Javascript, or similar) and/or a general purpose programming language (Typescript, Go, Rust, or similar)
- DevOps-minded engineer familiar with infrastructure-as-code tools (Ansible, Terraform, GitHub Actions, containers, etc.)
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs and creating agentic workflows (prompting, tool use and curation, benchmarking evaluations, guardrails, etc.)
- Experience with workflow or integration platforms (Workato, Zapier, n8n, or similar)
- Proactive and pragmatic mindset; able to translate business processes into effective automations
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and serverless or containerized deployments
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes
- Familiarity with common business systems (NetSuite, Salesforce, Workday, Freshservice, HR tooling)
- Background in security, compliance, or experience in regulated/controlled environments
