About The Role

We're looking for a curious, self-driven AI Automation / Forward Deployed Engineer to build custom AI-powered applications and automation tools for our teams and clients. This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch role — you'll work directly with LLM APIs, agent frameworks, and retrieval systems rather than off-the-shelf platforms, deploying straight into live business workflows. Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply — we value drive and problem-solving over years of experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain automation apps and AI agents from the ground up for internal teams and client engagements
• Integrate LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI) into tools and business workflows
• Develop and tune RAG pipelines — document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector search, retrieval quality
• Deploy and manage AI agent environments such as OpenClaw across servers and workstations
• Connect systems via REST APIs and webhooks (messaging platforms, databases, cloud services)
