• Hands-on experience working with LLMs and generative AI
• Experience building AI-powered applications, workflows, or automations
• Experience integrating APIs and third-party platforms
• Programming experience, preferably with Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
• Familiarity with AI coding tools and agentic development workflows
• Understanding of prompt development and structured AI workflows
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Ability to independently take projects from concept through implementation
• Strong written and spoken English
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Nice to Have
• Experience with Make, Zapier, n8n, or similar automation platforms
• Experience building AI agents or multi-step agentic workflows
• Familiarity with webhooks and event-driven integrations
• Experience developing internal business tools
• Experience working with structured LLM outputs and tool/function calling
• Familiarity with cloud deployment and modern development workflows
• Experience evaluating and monitoring AI system performance
• Tools & Technologies
• LLMs & Generative AI | Python | JavaScript/TypeScript | APIs | Webhooks | Make | Zapier | n8n | AI Coding Tools | Agentic Workflows | Automation Platforms
• What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you

Build with AI rather than simply use AI for basic productivity

Enjoy turning manual workflows into automated systems

Can move from an idea to a functional technical solution independently

Understand both software development and business automation

Experiment with new AI tools and technologies regularly

Think critically about AI reliability rather than assuming outputs are correct

Are comfortable troubleshooting across APIs, code, and automation platforms

Prioritize practical business impact over experimentation for its own sake

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your day may include building an AI agent, connecting an LLM to a business platform through an API, developing an automation in n8n or Make, troubleshooting an existing workflow, or creating an internal tool that eliminates repetitive work.

You may also test prompts and agent behavior, evaluate AI output quality, document systems, and research emerging AI technologies that could improve existing workflows.

In short: you turn AI capabilities into practical, reliable systems that automate work and improve business operations.
