  • Design automation infrastructure capable of handling multi-client operational complexity across different ICPs, channels, and campaign structures.
  • Architect the integration layer connecting core operational tools such as Clay, Airtable, HubSpot, Slack, and outbound infrastructure platforms.
  • Build robust error handling, monitoring, alerting, and self-healing mechanisms within automation pipelines.
  • Ensure automation systems remain maintainable, scalable, and resilient as operational volume increases.
• Product Development & Engineering
  • Build internal platforms and tools that convert operational processes into scalable software products.
  • Develop client-facing automation tools and reporting systems that extend the company’s productized service offerings.
  • Own the full-stack development lifecycle from architecture and development to deployment and iteration.
  • Establish engineering standards including code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, and documentation.
• AI Systems & Intelligence Layer
  • Design and implement production-grade AI pipelines leveraging models such as Claude and GPT.
  • Build systems that combine AI decision-making with deterministic automation logic.
  • Develop infrastructure for prompt engineering, model evaluation, and system performance monitoring.
  • Optimize AI usage for cost efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
• Team Leadership & Technical Strategy
  • Build and manage an automation engineering team, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.
  • Partner directly with the CEO/Founder to translate business strategy into technical execution.
  • Lead sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and technical retrospectives.
  • Make strategic build vs. buy decisions to maintain engineering velocity and competitive advantage.

  • Experience building AI-powered systems using LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, or similar) in real‑world production environments.
  • Strong systems architecture skills, including designing scalable, fault‑tolerant systems.
  • Experience translating business problems into technical solutions in fast‑moving environments.
• Strongly Preferred
  • Experience building automation systems within agencies, SaaS platforms, or services businesses handling multi-client infrastructure.
