About the Role 
We're hiring our first AI Automation Specialist to lead applied AI across the company. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role: you'll sit with teams in Sales, Operations, Finance, and beyond, find the work that drains their time, and replace it with reliable AI-powered workflows. 

This is an implementation and ownership role, not a research one. You won't be training models or doing data science — you'll be composing existing AI tools, APIs, and no-code/low-code platforms into workflows that run in production, and you'll own them once they're live. If you like turning "we waste ten hours a week on this" into something that just works, this is your role. 
 

We’re looking for someone long-term, at least a year commitment. 

Responsibilities 

• Assess each department's workflows to identify high-value opportunities for AI automation (repetitive, multi-step, or judgment-assisted tasks). 
   
• Design and prototype agentic workflows (multi-step AI agents, tool integrations, approval/human-in-the-loop checkpoints) tailored to each department's needs. 
   
• Act as the internal point of contact between departments for ai transformation 
   
• Select and configure the right tools/platforms (e.g., Claude Cowork, MCP connectors) for each use case 
   
• Monitor deployed workflows for performance, drift, and failure modes, and iterate or retire workflows that underperform. 
   
• Track adoption metrics per department and report progress to leadership. 

Requirements 

• Experience in process automation with AI, systems integration, business-process optimization, or a closely related field. 
• Ability to communicate across both technical and non-technical teams. 
• Strong process-mapping and business-analysis skills — the ability to translate a business problem into a working, monitored automation. 
• An ownership mindset: you care about reliability, edge cases, and proving impact — not just shipping a demo. 
• Hands-on experience with workflow automation platforms — any of n8n, Make, Zapier, or Power Automate. 
• Comfort with APIs, webhooks, and JSON, plus the ability to write light scripts (Python or JavaScript) when a no-code tool hits its ceiling. 
• English level: Upper-Intermediate. 
   

*This is an applied automation role. Machine learning, model training, algorithm development, and data science are not part of this position. 

What We Offer 

• Real ownership from day one — you'll define how AI works across the whole company, not just execute someone else's plan. 
• Direct impact and visibility — your work touches every department and is reported to leadership. 
• Modern tooling and autonomy to choose the right platforms for the job. 
• Competitive salary  
• Health insurance + Well-being program (250 USD/year) 
• Paid time off + extra Christmas week 
• PE accounting support 
• Supportive, collaborative team 
• Engaging Team events
