Job Summary
AI & Automation Engineer
The AI & Automation Engineer is an embedded practitioner builder and multiplier sitting at the intersection of data engineering AI systems and operational workflows to assess redesign and transform complex manual processes into intelligent automated operations.
This role requires fluency in both AI and automation as distinct disciplines. You will assess and redesign existing operational processes before determining where deterministic automation agentic AI or a combination of both is the right solution replacing manual fragmented processes with streamlined end-to-end intelligent systems that reduce friction accelerate decisions and embed intelligence directly into how work gets done.
This is an embedded role operating within the Enterprise Analytics Center of Excellence partnering closely with Data & Analytics team members operations owners and non-technical stakeholders to identify opportunities design solutions and drive adoption. You will build scalable systems that integrate data AI and user interaction including natural language access to data and automated push-based intelligence embedding intelligence directly into how teams work.
About the Role
In this opportunity as an AI & Automation Engineer you will:
Operational AI Automation
- Assess and redesign existing operational processes to determine the right solution deterministic automation agentic AI or a combination before building
- Design and deploy event-driven threshold-based intelligence systems that replace manual reporting
- Build AI-generated narrative and push communication systems that deliver personalized context-rich insights and initiate or guide action within operational workflows
- Develop interactive feedback loops that allow recipients to respond to AI-surfaced signals (e.g. this is expected I have questions investigate further) and route those responses appropriately
- Automate routine operational notifications (e.g. risk flag escalation) end-to-end with minimal human-in-the-loop dependency
Natural Language Query (NLQ) & AI Integration
- Integrate large language model (LLM) capabilities with semantic data models to enable non-technical users to directly interrogate data in natural language
- Partner with the teams semantic and architect subject area experts to ensure semantic models are AI-grade well-defined explainable and optimized for NLQ intent
- Build and maintain prompt frameworks evaluation approaches and guardrails that ensure AI outputs are reliable auditable and aligned with business context
Systems Architecture & Reference Implementation
- Design and deliver robust scalable reference implementations that serve as the foundation for broader adoption
- Define patterns and guardrails for building AI-enabled systems enabling consistent and extensible approaches across the team
- Establish high-quality maintainable solutions that are designed for reuse durability and evolution
Coaching & Capability Building
- Partner with team members to share knowledge and evolve solutions into team-owned repeatable capabilities
- Guide team members in designing and operating AI-enabled systems helping shift from manual processes to automated intelligent workflows
- Engage business leaders and operations owners to identify high-value automation and AI opportunities define success criteria and drive adoption of deployed solutions
- Contribute to the teams technical direction by staying current on emerging AI and automation practices and bringing relevant innovations into the teams approach
About You:
Youre a fit for the role of AI & Automation Engineer if you have:
Required Qualifications
- Demonstrated experience designing and deploying AI-powered systems used within operational workflows including agentic workflows orchestration context engineering and production-grade implementation with built-in evaluation and reliability
- Strong understanding of data foundations including preparing data for AI use and working with semantic models and structured pipelines
- Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities with structured data sources (e.g. semantic layers data warehouses APIs)
- Ability to design systems end-to-end from data signal to AI reasoning to user-facing output
- Strong documentation practices with a focus on building solutions that are maintainable and extensible by others
- Interest in mentoring and enabling others contributing to overall team capability and adoption
- Ability to assess and map existing business processes identifying where AI automation or process redesign delivers the most value
- Experience with event-driven architectures and designing trigger-based or real-time processing systems
- Experience designing context-aware AI systems including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) using structured business metadata
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with semantic modeling approaches and how they support natural language and AI use cases
- Experience integrating AI into user-facing experiences such as conversational interfaces or intelligent notification systems
- Experience with orchestration and automation tools (e.g. dbt Power Automate Azure Data Factory)
- Understanding of AI operational practices including evaluation frameworks monitoring model performance human-in-the-loop design and escalation handling
- Experience in forward-deployed embedded or consultative engineering roles with an emphasis on stakeholder partnership and solution adoption
