Job description

Ready to build smart automation with serious brains behind it? We're looking for a Python-first engineer with a background in AI/ML, data science, or engineering to craft scalable workflows powered by LLMs. Start part-time and grow into full-time.

Your Mission: Day to Day Responsibilities

• Design and implement automation workflows, integrating AI when relevant.
• Develop and optimize API integrations across multiple platforms.
• Build backend automation scripts and services to improve operational efficiency.
• Work with SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)—NoSQL is a plus.
• Collaborate with the AI team to integrate LLMs and intelligent systems into workflows.
• Maintain and document automation processes, ensuring scalability, performance, and security.

Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful

Must-Have:

• 3+ years of experience in automation, backend development, or AI-driven workflows.
• Experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience in AI/ML, data science, or engineering roles.
• Proven ability to design or contribute to LLM-based solutions (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, etc.).
• Solid problem-solving skills—you’ve tackled complex automation challenges before.
• Strong grasp of REST APIs, webhooks, and integrations.
• Proficiency with Git and version control.

Preferred:

• Experience with automation platforms like N8N, Zapier, or Make (N8N is easy to learn—preferred, not required).
• Experience with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Firebase).
• Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Background in event-driven architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Docker).

Your Perks: What's in it for you

• Start part-time, with potential for full-time growth.
• Remote, flexible work environment.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI and automation technologies.
• Professional development and career growth opportunities.
• Join an impact-driven, innovative team.
