• Create scalable AI-enabled systems that support the company's future growth.

• Partner with engineering teams to ensure solutions are robust, secure and maintainable.
• Lead and develop a small automation team while remaining hands-on technically.
• Challenge existing approaches and help shape the company's long-term AI strategy.

What we're looking for -

• Strong software engineering background (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering or similar).
• Work with AI coding assistants like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar tools.
• Proven experience building automation, AI-enabled solutions or internal platforms.
• A strong understanding of modern AI technologies, LLMs and how they can transform business processes.
• Experience designing scalable systems and thinking beyond short-term fixes.
• The ability to bridge the gap between technical possibilities and business outcomes.
• Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and influencing technology decisions.
• A hands-on mindset you build solutions, not just strategies.
