AI Automation Engineer - Mid-level

About the Role

We are seeking an AI Automation Engineer to join a dynamic technology team that is revolutionizing the operations of a major national organization. If you enjoy identifying inefficient manual processes, replacing them with sophisticated AI-driven automations, and seeing your work impact multiple business teams, this role will be highly rewarding.

Responsibilities

• Partner with a Senior Automation Engineer to deliver AI-powered automations that are essential for daily business operations.
• Build AI agents and workflows using modern LLM frameworks for both lightweight and system-level use cases.
• Contribute to our internal AI platform by shipping features, integrations, and improvements that enhance engineering standards.
• Work with REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, SQL, Snowflake, Salesforce, and other systems that power our automations.
• Learn from senior engineers while mentoring junior talent, fostering growth in both directions.

Requirements

• 2+ years of production software experience (internships count if the work shipped).
• Strong engineering fundamentals: clean code, clear reasoning, and the ability to debug unfamiliar systems.
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs or AI tools (professional, academic, or side projects).
• Practical experience with AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM).
• Proficiency in Python or TypeScript/Node, plus comfort with SQL.
• Experience integrating APIs (REST, JSON, OAuth) and connecting systems together.
• Curiosity and comfort working directly with business stakeholders to turn messy problems into clean solutions.
• A portfolio, GitHub, or project that demonstrates your ability to ship.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate).
• Familiarity with modern TypeScript stacks (Next.js, Vercel AI SDK).
• Exposure to agent frameworks (MCP, A2A).
• Experience with Snowflake or modern analytics tooling.
• Background in advertising or digital media (not required).
