Job description

Overview

Wait a minute. Deep inside you are looking for a new adventure with…

And you deserve it because you are truly passionate about Automations, AI and Development :

This is a full-time position, carried out from our offices in Dubai, Lisbon, or full-remote from anywhere in the world.

Mission

Your mission: build, ship, and iterate on tools and systems that turn complex business needs into scalable solutions. You develop data-driven solutions, from internal tools to experimentation pipelines, enabling fast iteration, clear insights, and continuous improvement across the company.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design and Build Scalable Automations
   • Design and develop internal tools, services, and integrations using modern full-stack technologies, automation platforms (n8n, Make.com, Zapier), and custom code
   • Build robust, production-ready workflows with complex business logic, data transformations, and reliable error handling
   • Own the full development lifecycle from identifying opportunities and designing solutions to shipping, monitoring, and continuously improving them
2. Build & Own Product Integrations and Internal Services
   • Design and implement API-driven integrations (REST, Webhooks, OAuth, GraphQL) to connect products, data, and business workflows
   • Build, deploy, and maintain internal tools, dashboards, and services with a choice of open-source, self-hosted solutions, or custom development
   • Create lightweight backend services and APIs that bridge gaps between no-code tools and production systems
3. Data Architecture & Ops Systems
   • Design robust data structures in PostgreSQL, Notion, or relational databases
   • Structure operational systems that scale with the team’s growth
   • Manage Custom APP to aggregate and highlight important KPIs
4. Workflow Optimization & Reliability
   • Troubleshoot issues, fix bugs, and improve existing automations
   • Ensure error handling, monitoring, and graceful failure mechanisms
   • Refactor systems when needed to support scale or new use cases
5. Documentation & Handoff
   • Document workflows, data models, dependencies, and permissions
   • Ensure every automation is clear, easy to use, and maintainable by others
   • Educate teams and anticipate misuse or edge cases with thoughtful UX flows

Toolkit & Stack

• Full-Stack & Backend: JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, internal APIs, services, and tooling
• Data & Experimentation: PostgreSQL, analytics events (Amplitude), ETL pipelines (e.g. Airbyte), workflow orchestration (e.g. Dagster)
• Product Integrations & Data Flows: Designing APIs and event-driven flows that connect products, tools, and data to enable fast iteration, experimentation, and reliable insights
• Infra / Hosting: Docker, Cloud Run, Firebase, Railway, Vercel
• AI & Assistants: OpenAI, LangChain, vector DBs (e.g. Pinecone, Weaviate)

You might be a fit if

• You’ve shipped production-grade automation systems across teams
• You write code to ship fast, test ideas, and iterate quickly, turning feedback and data into improvements
• You’re fluent with APIs, Javascript and authentication methods
• You’re comfortable self-hosting tools, deploying them, and maintaining them
• You love simplifying complex systems for others and scaling your own work
• You’re a rigorous builder who thinks about edge cases, uptime, and error logs
• You enjoy working cross-functionally with non-technical teams and bringing clarity through documentation
• You thrive on autonomy, problem-solving, and always push to make things cleaner, faster, smarter

Personality

• Drive & Problem Solver: You’re ambitious, you own things and get them done
• Analytical Mind: you challenge your assumptions, able to quickly identify problems, and support analysis with data
• Growth over Ego: you are eager to learn and welcome hard feedback
• Team Player: you love to work as a team and win together
• Strong Desire to Create Wow: you strive to create outstanding experiences

Language

English: Fluent English, you can hold a conversation on specific details with English-speaking colleagues.

It might not be for you

• We are a startup-oriented culture with a fast pace and change. You won’t always be told what to do or how to do it
• We value growth over ego and encourage critical and strategic thinking
