Key Responsibilities:

• Work directly with business users across operations engineering finance land regulatory and IT to understand day-to-day pain points and inefficiencies.
• Embed with teams to observe workflows identify automation opportunities and rapidly prototype AI-enabled solutions that remove manual effort and friction.
• Translate loosely defined business problems into concrete technical solutions using GPTs automation platforms and custom code.
• Act as a hands-on automation partner; not a ticket-taker owning solutions from problem definition through delivery and iteration.
• Iterate quickly based on user feedback refining prompts workflows and tools to improve usability trust and adoption.
• Create lightweight documentation examples and usage patterns that allow users to confidently leverage AI tools in their daily work.
  

AI Engineering & GPT Enablement

• Design build and deploy GPT-based tools and assistants that directly augment user workflows and decision-making.
• Develop custom GPTs prompt frameworks and reusable components tailored to real operational and knowledge-work use cases.
• Integrate large language models via APIs into enterprise systems data platforms and automated workflows.
• Balance speed and experimentation with engineering rigor to deliver reliable repeatable production-grade solutions.

Workflow Automation & Orchestration

• Design and implement end-to-end automated workflows that combine GPTs business rules and enterprise data.
• Automate repetitive manual or cognitively heavy tasks such as document generation summarization validation analysis and reporting.
• Use Python APIs and workflow automation platforms to orchestrate AI-driven processes that scale beyond one-off solutions.
• Ensure automations are resilient and supportable with appropriate error handling logging and basic observability.

Qualifications & Experience:
Education:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering Information Systems or related field.
• Equivalent practical experience will be considered.

Technical Skills & Experience:

• 4 years of experience in software engineering automation data engineering or adjacent technical roles.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying GPT-based solutions using OpenAI or comparable LLM platforms.
• Strong skills in prompt engineering API integrations and structured output design.
• Experience with Python and/or JavaScript for automation orchestration and integration.
• Familiarity with workflow automation platforms (e.g. UIPath Power Automate serverless workflows job schedulers).
• Experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise data platforms (e.g. Snowflake or similar).
• Understanding of authentication authorization and secure API usage.

Skills & Competencies:

• Strong ability to partner directly with business users quickly build trust and deeply understand how work actually gets done.
• Equally comfortable writing code and sitting with users to map workflows ask good questions and iterate on solutions.
• Bias toward action and simplification. Focused on removing friction rather than adding tooling.
• Ability to move between high-level problem framing and low-level implementation details without losing momentum.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts and AI limitations in plain language.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements:

• Primarily office-based with occasional travel to field offices and operational sites as needed.
• Potential exposure to remote and high-risk environments requiring adherence to safety protocols.
• May involve walking climbing bending or handling equipment during site visits.
• Possible exposure to varied weather conditions (heat cold rain) while on-site at the field offices.
• Availability for emergency response and incident management including after-hours support when required.
