Location: While this position is posted in a specific location, all of Oyster’s positions are fully remote and you can work from home. Forever. To create the best experience, this role requires you to be within +1/ -4 UTC.
You’ll join the Engineering team at Oyster to drive company-wide efficiency through AI and workflow automation. In this role, you’ll own internal AI automations built primarily with n8n and complementary tools, helping teams reduce manual work, streamline processes, and use AI safely in their day-to-day workflows. While you will mainly rely on n8n’s pre-built nodes, you will also be expected to write custom code whenever standard integrations are not enough.
You’ll design, operate, and continuously improve the automation layer that connects our tools, data, and AI models across the company, with a focus on reliability, scalability, security and long-term sustainability. Working closely with Product, Engineering and Business Units, you’ll turn evolving business needs into secure, compliant, and production-ready automations that scale as Oyster grows.
Key Responsibilities
Drive efficiency with AI automations in n8n – Build, ship, document and improve workflows that connect tools, data, and AI models to automate manual processes across departments.
Keep automations running smoothly – Use error handling, retries, alerts, and logging to catch issues early and fix them fast.
Keep AI reliable and safe to use – Help teams get consistent AI results while keeping data secure and compliant.
Make automations usable and sustainable – Help teams adopt automations and keep them working well as needs change.
Own internal n8n excellence – Define best practices and continuously improve how n8n is used across teams.
Core Requirements
Hands-on experience building automation workflows (n8n or similar tools), with 1–3 years of relevant experience in automation, internal tools, or operations-focused roles
Familiarity with APIs, webhooks, authentication methods, and data flows between systems
Experience using Large Language Models (LLMs) in practical workflows (prompting, structured outputs, basic validation)
Ability to build and debug multi-step workflows with conditional logic
Strong communication skills and comfort working with both technical and non-technical partners
A builder mindset: you enjoy turning manual or repetitive processes into automated workflows
Familiarity with JavaScript or Python for simple code-based automation steps
[BONUS] Basic SQL for querying or inspecting data
[BONUS] Exposure to RAG concepts or working with structured and unstructured data sources
[BONUS] Experience integrating common SaaS tools (e.g., CRM, data, support, or collaboration tools)
[BONUS] Experience with other automation tools apart from n8n (Zapier, Make, etc)
[BONUS] Experience with SaaS ecosystem tools (Slack, Zendesk, Hubspot, etc)
You'll also need
A reliable home internet connection (or be able to get one)

What We Do
Our mission is to create a more equal world by making it possible for companies everywhere to hire people anywhere. We believe it should be easy for any company to hire any person, no matter where either is located in the world.
Now more than ever, smart companies can't allow the location of their HQ to dictate the size of their talent pool. Your next transformative hire could be anywhere.
We also believe the most in-demand knowledge workers today want to leverage a global career perspective, the freedom to live where they want, and the security of full-fledged employment with benefits.
But today, the flow between talent and opportunity around the globe is still blocked by the costs and legal complexity companies face before they can fully employ in another country. Cross-border hiring is still arcane, remarkably un-transformed by software, and ripe for disruption.
We are also motivated by the opportunity for positive social impact. Removing these barriers makes the world a better place in three ways: 1) It helps redress inequalities of access to opportunity, 2) It allows for the distribution of wealth to places other than the major cities of the world, and 3) It supports the environmentally-friendly and business-smart shift to remote working.
Our software platform is created to solve for the complexities of giving full-time, full-fledged employment to anyone in the world, while providing a delightful experience to employers and employees.
With Oyster, you can hire remote full-time employees anywhere in the world, provide fully-compliant payroll, and give your valued remote hires around the world the benefits and perks they deserve.
