About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As an architect and technical specialist (primary focus): owner of the area’s main initiatives, from design to production delivery, accountable for end-to-end results;
Design and build reliable integrations and automations between internal and external systems (REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, messaging, asynchronous processing);
Develop backend solutions in Java (Spring Boot/Hibernate) and evolve automation workflows in n8n, our standard tool;
Design and implement solutions with LLMs — orchestration of calls, context/prompt handling, and integration of these capabilities into real product and operational flows;
Define the architecture, resilience patterns, observability, error handling and the guardrails for critical integrations and automations, with scalability in mind.
As technical lead: provide technical direction to the team: priorities, architectural decisions and review of the most sensitive deliverables;
Technical mentoring and code review, raising the team’s level of seniority;
Ensure that automation and AI solutions follow governance and safe-use guidelines (approved tools, traceability, human review for sensitive actions).

Requirements

What you’ll need

Autonomy to drive ambiguous, high-impact problems end-to-end.
We’d love if you have:
Experience with n8n or equivalent platforms (Zapier, Make, Airflow);
Experience integrating LLMs via API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock) into applications — orchestration, context and prompts;
Knowledge of RAG, embeddings and vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone);
