Lead AI and Automation Engineer

Ever wanted to architect an AI system that becomes the primary interface of a real business — not a demo, not a chatbot, but a living operational brain?
Where conversations trigger logistics, pricing logic, group-buy orchestration, and payments?
If you enjoy building agentic systems that actually run commerce — this role is for you.

At AlphaDevs

We don’t just build remote teams — we build engineering ecosystems.
We partner with product-driven companies to create systems where architecture, ownership, and long-term thinking matter.

This role is part of Taste Labs, an ambitious product redefining how conversational AI powers modern e-commerce.

About the Product

Taste Labs is building The Taste Labs Agent — a conversational intelligence layer that transforms traditional e-commerce into Agentic Commerce.

This Agent is not “support”. It is:

• A Smart Importer coordinating international group-buys
• A Culinary Advisor educating customers and shaping demand
• A Commerce Operator managing pricing, payments, and logistics through conversation

The Agent lives across Website Chat, WhatsApp, and Telegram, acting as the single interface between customers, CRM, inventory, payments, and operations.

You’ll design and lead the system that turns natural language into business execution.

The Role

We’re looking for a Lead AI & Automation Engineer who can own the architecture of an agentic, stateful, multi-channel AI system end-to-end.

This is a hands-on leadership role with deep influence over:

• AI architecture
• System design
• Conversation intelligence
• Business logic automation

You’ll work closely with founders, product, and operations — translating complex real-world commerce flows into a scalable AI-driven platform.

What You’ll Do

Build the Agentic Core

• Architect and implement a stateful Agent Engine maintaining context across Website, WhatsApp, and Telegram
• Design multi-turn conversation flows with robust context switching
• Build intent, entity, and sentiment recognition to adapt agent behavior in real time

Commerce & Automation Logic

• Integrate the Agent with BOSS CRM — the source of truth for:
  • Customer history
  • Dynamic pricing (private vs wholesale logic)
  • Group order status
• Implement Group Order Lifecycle logic:
  • Demand detection & recruitment
  • Payment split orchestration (50/50 models)
  • Import coordination and status tracking

AI & Intelligence Integration

• Design and optimize LLM-based pipelines using OpenAI API / LangChain
• Implement feedback loops, conversation logging, and continuous learning mechanisms
• Define measurable AI performance metrics (conversion, resolution, satisfaction)

Messaging & Platform Integrations

• Build rich conversational experiences using:
  • WhatsApp Business API (notifications, media, flows)
  • Telegram Bot API (commands, broadcasts, community logic)
  • Ensure reliability and scalability across channels

Payments & Logistics

• Integrate Stripe / PayPal payment flows and webhook-based automation
• Handle multi-stage payments, variable pricing, and inventory constraints

• Ensure correctness and resilience in financial workflows

   

What You Bring

• 5+ years of professional experience as a Senior / Lead Full-Stack Engineer
• Strong system-level thinking — you design platforms, not just features
• Proven hands-on experience with:
  • LLMs, intent recognition, entity extraction
  • Complex state management in conversational systems
• Backend expertise with Node.js or Python
• Experience integrating APIs for messaging, payments, and e-commerce
• Ability to clearly communicate architectural decisions to CTO / founder-level stakeholders
• Fluent English

Nice to Have

• Experience with e-commerce, logistics, or marketplace platforms
• Familiarity with WooCommerce internals
• Background in automation-heavy or AI-first products

• Experience building systems with strong operational impact

   

What You Get

• Architectural Ownership — design a first-of-its-kind agentic commerce system
• Real Impact — your AI directly runs business operations
• Modern AI Stack — LLMs, automation, real-world orchestration
• Remote-First — work from anywhere in Europe / Ukraine
• Long-Term Vision — build a platform, not a prototype

• Strong Engineering Culture — clarity, ownership, trust
