Résumé du poste

Teamleader CRM, a SaaS scale-up based in Belgium, is seeking a Forward Deployed Automation Engineer. You will co-build automations in our AI Labs, handling authentication and hosting while ensuring reliable runs. You will own end-to-end automation delivery across teams and environments.

You will work in a hybrid setup, collaborating with product and engineering to transform usage cases into scalable automation blocks, with focus on measurable impact and adoption.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with AI and automation building.
• Experience with APIs, scripting and auth flows.
• Ability to collaborate across teams and own end-to-end automation solutions.

Responsabilités

• Co-build in our AI Labs: turn team-identified use cases into working automations (Claude skills & MCP, APIs, scripts, webhooks, internal apps).
• Own the last mile that blocks teams today: auth & permissions, token management, MCP/connector setup, hosting and scheduling — so automations run reliably without babysitting them.
• Solve patterns, not tickets: recurring blockers become reusable, documented building blocks on our shared AI platform (MCP gateway, agent hosting, context layer).
• Tie every automation to the team's success metric: each build ships with an owner, a usage/adoption measure, and a cost dimension.
• Leave teams self-sufficient: document, hand over, and teach the team to run and adapt what you built together.

We Are Looking for a Forward Deployed Automation Engineer to join us

As a Forward Deployed Automation Engineer at Teamleader, you will:

• Co‑build in our AI Labs: turn team‑identified use cases into working automations (Claude skills & MCP, APIs, scripts, webhooks, internal apps).

• Own the last mile that blocks teams today: auth & permissions, token management, MCP/connector set‑up, hosting and scheduling — so automations run reliably without you babysitting them.

• Solve patterns, not tickets: recurring blockers become reusable, documented building blocks on our shared AI platform (MCP gateway, agent hosting, context layer).

• Tie every automation to the team's success metric: each build ships with an owner, a usage/adoption measure, and a cost dimension.

• Leave teams self‑sufficient: document, hand over, and teach the team to run and adapt what you built together. We are an internal partner, not a solution factory.

• Are a builder-generalist: experienced working with APIs, scripting (Python/JS/Apps Script), auth flows, lightweight front‑end development, databases, SQL, LLM tooling.

• Think Process‑first: you start from the team's workflow, pain and target goal, not your favorite tool.

• Make decisions and move forward on your own, without waiting for sign‑off on every step.Explain what you’re building to non‑technical colleagues, without jargon.Can switch context‑without issues: five brands, many teams. This means holding multiple products and workflows in your head at once.
