AI & Automation Developer

Project-Based Contract Opportunities | Remote, Canada

About GlassOwl

GlassOwl is a Whitehorse, Yukon–based company helping organizations adopt AI and automation with practical safeguards, clear accountability, and solutions people can actually use.

Our work brings together AI governance, organizational readiness, and practical implementation. We are also developing software to help organizations assess AI uses, coordinate reviews, and document accountable decisions.

Our initial focus is on northern public-sector organizations, municipalities, and First Nations governments. We value solutions that respect each organization’s authority over its information and decisions and work within its operational capacity.

About the opportunity

GlassOwl is building a small roster of independent AI and automation developers for anticipated client engagements.

This is an expression of interest for future project-based contracts, not a full-time employment position or an immediate project offer. Scope, deliverables, timelines, fees, and support expectations will be agreed separately for each engagement. No minimum hours or assignments are guaranteed.

We are looking for practical builders who can turn operational needs into reliable solutions. Projects may include workflow automation, AI assistants, document processing, structured intake, approvals, and integrations between existing systems.

Microsoft 365 and Power Platform experience is particularly relevant to our anticipated work. We also welcome developers with complementary experience across other automation and AI tools.

You will work directly with the founder, who leads client relationships and engagement coordination. You will contribute technical recommendations and take ownership of agreed development, testing, documentation, and handover.

What you may work on

- Translate business requirements into practical technical solutions, identifying what should be simplified, automated, or kept human-led.
- Estimate implementation effort and identify licensing needs, dependencies, limitations, and delivery risks.
- Configure and build workflows using tools such as Power Automate, Power Apps, Microsoft Forms, SharePoint Online, and Copilot Studio.
- Connect approved systems using APIs, connectors, webhooks, or custom code where needed.
- Develop structured intake, request routing, approvals, notifications, and exception-handling workflows.
- Integrate AI-assisted drafting, summarization,



information extraction, or classification where there is a clear operational benefit.
- Add validation and human-review steps appropriate to the task.
- Test solutions against realistic scenarios, including incomplete inputs, failed connections, and unexpected outputs.
- Troubleshoot issues and support agreed deployment and post-launch stabilization.
- Produce clear documentation so client teams can operate and maintain the solution.
- Identify data-handling, access, privacy, and security considerations early for client review.

What we are looking for

- Hands-on experience building and deploying business automations used in day-to-day operations, not only demonstrations or training exercises.
- Experience with Microsoft Power Platform and Microsoft 365, particularly Power Automate and SharePoint Online.
- Experience integrating systems through APIs, connectors, or similar methods.
- Practical familiarity with AI tools or large language model APIs, including their limitations and the need to validate outputs.
- Ability to judge when a straightforward automation is more appropriate than an AI-based solution.
- Experience with testing, error handling, permissions, troubleshooting, and documentation.
- Ability to explain technical choices and trade-offs in plain language.
- Comfort working independently within a defined scope and communicating progress, blockers, and changes early.
- A practical approach to handover, including clear ownership of workflows, connections, and ongoing maintenance.

You do not need to be an expert in every platform listed. Please be transparent about your strengths, what you have personally delivered, and where you would need support. Relevant implementation experience matters more than a particular degree or certification.

Helpful, but not required

- Experience working with public-sector organizations, municipalities, First Nations governments, or other accountability-sensitive environments.
- Experience with service intake, case management, document handling, or administrative approvals.
- Familiarity with Dataverse, Microsoft Graph,



Azure services, or custom connectors.
- Experience with tools such as n8n, Make, or other workflow platforms.
- Experience with Jira Service Management or comparable ticketing systems.
- Familiarity with controlled releases and separate development and production environments.
- Experience implementing client-defined requirements for access, retention, and data location.
- Experience handing solutions over to small teams with limited technical support capacity.

Engagement details

- Remote within Canada, with agreed overlap during Yukon business hours.

- The problem and tools used.
- Their individual contribution.
- How incomplete inputs, errors, or exceptions were handled.

We are especially interested in examples where you turned a messy, manual process into a reliable workflow that staff could actually use. Please do not submit confidential client information, credentials, or proprietary code. Any GlassOwl-requested technical build exercise will be paid.
