AI Automation Engineer (Claude Code & AI Agents)

We're helping a fast-growing marketing and operations company find an AI Automation Engineer to build the next generation of AI-powered systems across multiple businesses.

The company operates across eCommerce, subscription businesses, and service-based brands, combining marketing strategy with operational excellence. They are building a centralized AI platform that automates marketing, reporting, content production, customer workflows, and internal business operations.

This is an opportunity to help architect production-ready AI systems that will be deployed across multiple companies—not just build one-off automations.

We're looking for an experienced AI Automation Engineer who can design, build, deploy, and continuously improve AI-powered workflows, intelligent agents, and business automation systems.

This is an engineering-focused role. Beyond automation platforms, we're looking for someone with strong software engineering fundamentals who can build reliable, scalable AI systems using Claude Code, APIs, Python, and modern AI development practices.

You'll work directly with leadership to transform business processes into intelligent systems that deliver measurable operational impact.
