About the role

  • Embed with our operational teams to observe workflows, uncover root causes, and identify where AI agents can meaningfully reduce friction
  • Break down complex, manual processes into clean system flows and technical requirements
  • Own the full lifecycle: observe → prototype → validate with domain experts → harden → productionize
  • Build reliable systems with logging, retries, monitoring, and guardrails for edge cases
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering when automations interface with core systems; operate independently for everything else
  • Validate solutions with domain experts and iterate quickly based on feedback
  • Document and publish reusable modules into our Automation Hub that accelerate future automation projects
  • Drive fast iteration: ship small, gather feedback, and improve quickly

Requirements

  • 1-5 years of experience building AI agents that automate real workflows and eliminate manual work
  • Deep proficiency in Python, TypeScript (Node/React), and relational databases
  • You've designed and built multiple RESTful APIs from scratch
  • Proficiency with CLI tools. You must use CLI-based agents (Claude Code, Codex) as your primary workflow.
  • Experience with observability platforms (logging, tracing, monitoring your agents in production)
Benefits
  • Continuous learning and proactive innovation
  • High standards and importance of transparency
  • Goal-driven, high-performance culture
