We're proud of what we've built — and we're just getting started. Read our Culture Manual and learn more about how we work.

We are looking for a Senior Associate, Technical Operations to act as a hands-on workflow builder and quality owner within our Operations ecosystem. You will not just analyze bottlenecks, you will actively build, test, and maintain automated workflows that power our AI Chat Platform. You will bring a rigorous QA mindset to operational workflows: designing resilient logic, catching edge cases, monitoring failure queues, and deprecating outdated processes before they create friction.

If you are a structured problem solver who loves writing clean SQL, automating workflows via orchestration tools and Python, and treating operational pipelines with engineering-grade quality standards, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

Build & Orchestrate Workflows:

Design, configure, and maintain automated operational workflows using orchestration platforms (such as n8n or Workato) and custom scripting.

Own Workflow QA & Lifecycle Hygiene:

Apply software QA discipline to operational systems. Define test cases, validate release readiness, monitor regression risks,



and systematically unship or refactor legacy workflows that no longer serve the ecosystem.

Investigate & Optimize Pipeline Data:

Dig into raw logs and database tables using advanced SQL and Python to identify failure patterns, isolate edge cases, and execute root-cause fixes on failed transactions.

Leverage Applied AI Pragmatically:

Actively utilize modern LLM tools for structured data parsing, regex generation, error-log classification, and accelerating operational investigation.

Bridge Ops and Architecture:

Partner closely with senior engineering and operational stakeholders to translate complex process requirements into scalable technical implementations. Challenge existing processes with data-backed technical arguments.

What You Bring

1-3+ Years of Relevant Technical Experience:

Background in Technical Operations, Systems Analysis, Data QA, Software QA, or Workflow Automation where you were directly responsible for building, troubleshooting, and maintaining data-driven processes.

Solid Data Literacy (SQL & Scripting):

Demonstrated ability to write performant SQL beyond basic queries (experience with CTEs, window functions, and query optimization). Foundational familiarity with Python or scripting for data manipulation.

Workflow Automation Mindset:

Practical experience working with workflow engines, API integrations,



or orchestration platforms (e.g., n8n, Workato, Make, Retool, or equivalent native workflow tools).

Engineering-Minded QA Instincts:

You understand that shipping a workflow is only half the job. You instinctively think about edge-case handling, monitoring, rollback plans, and system dependencies.

Applied AI Fluency:

You go beyond using LLMs for writing copy; you leverage AI tools to parse unstructured error strings, structure disparate datasets, and validate logic.

Clear Technical Communication:

Able to engage deeply with software engineers on architecture while clearly explaining operational impacts to business partners.
