Job description

OUR HIRING PROCESS:

• We will review your application against our job requirements. We do not employ machine learning technologies during this phase as we believe every human deserves attention from another human. We do not think machines can evaluate your application quite like our seasoned recruiting professionals—every person is unique. We promise to give your candidacy a fair and detailed assessment.
• We may then invite you to submit a video interview for the review of the hiring manager. This video interview is often followed by a test or short project that allows us to determine whether you will be a good fit for the team.
• At this point, we will invite you to interview with our hiring manager and/or the interview team. Please note: We do not conduct interviews via text message, Telegram, etc. and we never hire anyone into our organization without having met you face-to-face (or via Zoom). You will be invited to come to a live meeting or Zoom, where you will meet our INFUSE team.
• From there on, it’s decision time! If you are still excited to join INFUSE and we like you as much, we will have a conversation about your offer. We do not make offers without giving you the opportunity to speak with us live.

INFUSE is committed to complying with applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy

We are building a small, high-impact team of problem-solvers, builders, and operators within SoftDev who will help us transform and evolve in the AI era.

This is not a traditional role with narrowly defined responsibilities. You will join a cross-functional transformation squad focused on identifying inefficiencies, challenging legacy workflows, and implementing AI-powered solutions that create measurable business impact.

Some team members may come from technical backgrounds; others from operations, product, analytics, or project management.

What matters the most:

• Ability to solve real problems in a variety of different departments across the organization
• Being agile, forward-thinking, and adaptable
• Not being tied to legacy systems and processes
• Proposing creative solutions and being willing to ask: "Why do we still do it this way?" and then building something better

We expect you to be:

• Self-directed, self-sufficient, and comfortable with ambiguity
• A strong problem-solver with analytical thinking and data fluency
• Able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams
• Experienced with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Gemini, n8n, etc.), automations, agents, or workflows
• Capable of evaluating business value, calculating ROI, and prioritizing incoming automation requests
• Able to design and build integrations that connect new AI tooling with core database systems (e.g., mainDB / legacy stacks)
• Strong in stakeholder management and delegating/coordinating tasks for a small team (3-4 members)

Technical & Core Requirements:

• Practical experience writing Python scripts for automation and data manipulation
• Proficiency in SQL and working with relational databases
• Experience with data flow design and process redesign
• Hands-on experience with no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., n8n, Zapier) alongside custom code solutions

Bonus Points:

• Experience with vibe-coding practices or rapid prototyping tools
• Experience leading change initiatives or managing technical team members
• Experience migrating legacy automated processes to modern, code-based or AI-assisted infrastructure
• Business Analysis or Data Analytics background

What we offer:

• Fully remote work format.
• Opportunity to shape the backbone systems of a modern, data-driven digital company.
• A collaborative, innovation-first environment that values initiative and experimentation.
• Paid time off and sick leave.
• Reduced working hours on Fridays during the summer.
• Days-off on US national holidays + your birthday.
