Automation Engineer

We are seeking an Automation Engineer with a passion for automation and cuttingedge AI/GenAI/Agentic technologies. In this role you will use your strong programming expertise and knowledge of AI/GenAI to build and optimize automation workflows for our business processes. You will work on integrating large language models (LLMs) and agentic automation solutions into our processes helping the team streamline operations and improve efficiency. This is a fantastic opportunity for a selfstarter with strong educational credentials and demonstrable personal/professional projects in AI/automation in a fastpaced environment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop Automation Workflows: Design implement and maintain automation scripts and tools (primarily in Python) to streamline operational processes (e.g. customer onboarding transaction processing reporting).
• Integrate AI and LLMs: Leverage generative AI and LLM capabilities to enhance automation. This includes calling OpenAI APIs or similar services to build intelligent features such as document processing content generation or decision support within workflows.
• Agentic Automation Solutions: Create and deploy agentbased automation (utilizing frameworks like LangChain CrewAI or custom agents) that can perform multistep tasks with minimal human intervention. For example build AI agents that use tools (APIs databases) to achieve specified goals in operations or customer service processes.
• Data Retrieval and RAG: Implement retrievalaugmented generation techniques when needed such as using vector databases to store and retrieve embeddings so that AI models have access to relevant data (e.g. knowledge bases or transaction history) for more accurate and contextaware outputs.
• Collaboration: Work closely with crossfunctional teams (product managers operations data engineers) to identify automation opportunities and gather requirements. Translate business process needs into technical automation solutions that improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
• Testing and Optimization: Rigorously test automation workflows to ensure reliability accuracy and security. Debug issues and optimize performance of scripts or AI components (e.g. finetune prompts or adjust logic for better results).
• Documentation: Document the design steps and usage of automation workflows clearly. Provide user guides or runbooks for automated processes to ensure maintainability and knowledge sharing within the team.
• Continuous Learning & Improvement: Stay uptodate with advancements in generative AI agentic automation and fintech automation trends. Proactively suggest new tools or approaches (such as new APIs libraries or methodologies) to keep our automation capabilities at the cutting edge
• Support and Maintenance: Provide ongoing support and maintenance for deployed automation solutions.

Qualifications :

Required Skills:

• Education: Bachelors or masters degree in computer science Software Engineering or a related field. Strong academic track record and foundational knowledge of software development principles (data structures algorithms objectoriented programming)
• Python Proficiency: Excellent programming skills in Python with the ability to write clean efficient and welldocumented code. Experience with other scripting languages (e.g. Typescript or JavaScript) is a plus.
• Generative AI: Strong foundational knowledge of generative AI and LLMs. Handson experience using the OpenAI API (or similar AI/ML APIs) to build applications or prototypes. You should understand how to craft prompts handle model outputs and the general capabilities/limitations of AI models.
• LangChain/CrewAI & AI Frameworks: Exposure to frameworks like LangChain CrewAI (or similar libraries for building AIdriven applications). Ability to design multistep AI workflows or chains and integrate prebuilt AI components into larger processes.
• Vector Databases & RAG: Good understanding of vector databases (LlamaIndex ADA FAISS etc. and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) concepts. For example know how to store and retrieve text embeddings to allow an AI agent to fetch relevant information.
• API Integration: Strong knowledge of working with APIs and web services. Ability to consume RESTful APIs handle JSON/XML data and integrate thirdparty services into automation scripts. (Experience creating simple APIs or microservices for automation is a bonus.
• CloudBased Automation: Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS GCP or Azure) for deploying automation solutions. Knowledge of services like AWS Lambda Azure Functions or containerization (Docker) to run automation workflows in the cloud.
• ProblemSolving: Excellent analytical skills with the ability to break down complex process problems and design automated solutions. Comfort in handling data (parsing transforming validating) as part of workflows.
• SelfStarter Attitude: A proactive selfdriven mentality with a strong work ethic. Ability to take ownership of projects experiment and iterate independently and drive tasks to completion with minimal supervision.
• Communication: Good written and verbal communication skills. Able to collaborate with team members from nontechnical backgrounds explain technical concepts in simple terms and actively document and share knowledge.

Desired Skills:

• Personal/Professional Projects in AI/Automation: Demonstrable experience through personal or academic projects in automation or AI. Candidates who have built an agentic automation solution (for example an autonomous AI agent to perform a task or a chatbot that uses an LLM and external tools) will stand out. Please share any GitHub projects hackathon results or research that show your initiative in this area.
• Internship/Work Experience: Internship or coop experience in a fintech company or in an automation/AI role. Exposure to realworld financial systems RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tools or enterprise software development is a plus.
• AI/ML Tools: Familiarity with additional AI and data tools such as TensorFlow/PyTorch (for any ML model work) Pandas or SQL (for data manipulation and analysis in automation) or prompt engineering techniques to finetune AI behavior.
• Advanced AI Knowledge: Any experience with finetuning language models building custom NLP solutions or working with emerging AI technologies beyond just API usage. This is not required but shows deeper expertise.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Basic understanding of DevOps practices. Experience using version control (Git) and exposure to CI/CD pipelines for testing and deploying code. Knowledge of orchestrating workflows (using tools like Airflow or Jenkins) can be helpful.
• Security and Compliance Awareness: Awareness of data security privacy and compliance considerations when handling financial data through automation. Ensuring AI and scripts adhere to company policies and industry regulations (especially important in fintech).
• Team & Culture Fit: A collaborative mindset and eagerness to contribute to a missiondriven team. Enthusiasm for innovation and using technology to solve business challenges will help you thrive in this role.
