Jobtailor; Lisboa; Presencial; EUR 55 000 - 85 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Jobtailor in Lisbon, Portugal, seeks an experienced AI Automation Engineer to identify and automate manual workflows across departments using AI-powered solutions. You'll design, prototype, and productionize automations, integrating with internal tools and external APIs to boost efficiency.

You will work with LLMs, agents, scripting, and modern orchestration tools, ensuring reliability, cost control, and maintainability while collaborating with non-technical stakeholders.

Qualificações

• Proven experience building automation solutions (Scripting, workflow orchestration, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and prompt engineering.
• Programming skills in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript + Git.
• Experience integrating with REST APIs and working with webhooks/ event-driven systems.
• Familiarity with workflow and orchestration tools (n8n, Zapier, Airflow, etc.).
• Ability to scope ambiguous problems into concrete technical solutions.
• Strong communication skills; able to work directly with non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with agentic frameworks (CrewAI or similar).
• Familiarity with vector databases and RAG architectures.
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool-calling frameworks.
• Background integrating AI into identity/IT systems tools (Okta, Active Directory) or dev tooling (GitHub, Jira, Slack, Datadog).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker).
• Knowledge of prompt evaluation/testing frameworks.
• Experience with fine-tuning or evaluating smaller/local models for cost optimization.

Responsabilidades

• Identify manual, repetitive, or error-prone workflows across departments and assess automation potential (AI-based or otherwise)
• Design and build AI-powered automations using LLMs, agents, and scripting to reduce manual effort
• Integrate AI capabilities into existing business tools and systems (HR, finance, etc.)
• Build and maintain pipelines connecting AI models to internal data sources and third-party APIs
• Prototype quickly, validate with stakeholders, then productionize successful automations
• Monitor deployed automations for reliability, cost, and output quality - iterate as needed
• Document workflows, decision logic, and system architecture for maintainability
• Partner with business stakeholders to translate operational pain points into technical requirements
• Evaluate and recommend AI solutions, models, and vendors (build vs. buy decisions)
• Establish guardrails around AI-driven processes (error handling, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, audit trails)
