We're hiring someone to own the operational side of our AI team's output: keeping what's already built running, and building the smaller, well-defined automations that don't need a full system design pass. Where our AI builders design and ship new end-to-end systems from open client use cases, this role keeps the existing estate healthy and builds from a spec that's already written.
This is a hands-on, detail-first role. You'll be the person who notices an automation is about to break before anyone else does, and who can turn a well-scoped request into a working build without needing it handed to you twice.
Responsibilities:
Monitor and maintain automations the AI team has already shipped: catch breakages, keep credentials and integrations current, and fix issues before anyone else notices them.
Build new automations from an already-defined spec (n8n, Make, Zapier, or equivalent), for tasks that are scoped, as distinct from open-ended use case design.
Maintain a live inventory of what's running, what it depends on, and who owns it, so renewal dates and credential locations don't rely on any one person's memory.
Triage day-to-day fix or small-build requests from the team, escalating anything that needs full system design.
Document every automation you touch well enough that someone else on the team could pick it up without a handoff call.
Test like a QA engineer: before anything ships, push it through edge cases (malformed or empty inputs, expired tokens, rate limits, API changes, unexpected volume) and fix what breaks before it breaks for a user.
Be our user: use every build the way the account managers, strategists, and clients who depend on it would, and flag anything confusing, slow, or fragile from their side of the screen.
Requirements:
Hands-on experience building and maintaining automations in at least one low-code platform (n8n, Make, Zapier, or equivalent); n8n experience preferred.
Comfortable owning the less visible parts of a system: monitoring, error handling, documentation, credential hygiene.
A QA mindset: you instinctively ask “what happens if…”, hunt for edge cases, and would rather find the failure yourself than hear about it from a user.
User empathy: you can think like our ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) and judge a build by whether it works for the person relying on it, in their real workflow.
Enough scripting ability (Python or JavaScript) to extend an automation when a platform's native nodes run out.
Organized enough to maintain a registry or inventory as standard practice, not only when asked.
Nice to have:
Prior ops, support engineering, or QA background, where the job was keeping something running rather than designing it new.
Basic familiarity with Claude tooling (API, Claude Code).
Hands-on experience building and maintaining automations in at least one low-code platform (n8n, Make, Zapier); QA mindset; user empathy; scripting ability in Python or JavaScript; organized to maintain inventory.
