AI models, APIs, databases, automation workflows, dashboards, and business applications

to create tools that help teams work more efficiently and make better decisions. What You'll Do

Build and maintain

AI-powered agents, workflows, internal tools, and dashboards

Develop automation workflows that reduce repetitive manual work and improve operational efficiency. Use model APIs and other AI technologies to build useful, reliable business solutions.

Build simple and intuitive interfaces or dashboards that make AI-powered tools useful and accessible to business users. Work with the Head of IT and business stakeholders to identify useful opportunities,

Monitor AI-powered systems after launch and identify opportunities to improve performance, accuracy, and usability. Document solutions, workflows, integrations, and key technical decisions. Troubleshoot issues methodically and improve systems based on user feedback and real-world performance. Stay current with relevant AI tools, model capabilities, automation approaches, and development practices. Help teams adopt new tools by explaining how they work and how they should be used.

We are looking for someone who enjoys

building practical solutions and taking ownership of the entire development process . You should have: Experience working with

APIs, databases, and SQL . Practical experience using

AI/model APIs

and integrating AI capabilities into applications or workflows. Experience building a simple interface, internal tool, dashboard, or other usable front end around a technical solution. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with the ability to break down unclear problems into manageable steps. An understanding of software testing,



deployment, monitoring, error handling, and maintaining production systems. An understanding of the limitations and risks of AI-generated outputs, including accuracy, reliability, privacy, and appropriate validation. A high level of

ownership, initiative, integrity, and follow-through . Good judgment when working with business information, data, AI-generated content, and internal systems. A practical mindset — you care about building solutions that are actually useful, not just technically interesting. What Will Make You Stand Out

that you can walk us through. Experience

building

AI agents, automation workflows, internal tools, or business applications. Projects that integrate multiple APIs, systems, or data sources. Experience connecting AI models to real business workflows rather than only experimenting with models. Experience building dashboards or easy user interfaces around technical solutions. A strong

GitHub ,

portfolio , or

project history

that demonstrates your technical ability. Examples of taking a project from

prototype to deployment and ongoing maintenance . Evidence that you can work independently, make sensible technical decisions, and follow through.
