Platform Engineering (platformengineering.org) is home to the world's largest community of platform engineers. Through events like PlatformCon, which brings together over 35,000+ participants every year, we connect thousands of professionals, share best practices, and help shape the future of how teams build and scale internal developer platforms.
We're looking for a Senior AI Automation & Systems Engineer to own the technical infrastructure behind our content and design operation, from planning and research, through AI-assisted production and quality control, to publishing and distribution.
This position is fully remote and is open to applicants based in Europe.
Take technical ownership of our content and design factory: tooling selection, automation pipelines, quality management, and agent orchestration that let a small team produce at scale.
Design and development (structuring, prompting, QA) of complex multistep content and design creation workflows and interfaces as skills in model harnesses and external content workflow tools (e.g., AirOps, n8n).
Think through the user journey and create UI integrations into existing solutions (e.g., Supabase databases) or vibe-code and maintain UI and interfaces for workflows, databases, etc. (search, export data, import to other workflows).
Keep our stack modular and replaceable, evaluating tools continuously and making changes before we become dependent on the wrong ones.
Reduce manual overhead systematically by building automations and agent workflows that replace repetitive processes.
Work with leadership as a peer on architectural decisions and infrastructure direction, not just as an implementer.
Strong technical background: database schemas, REST/GraphQL API integrations, RAG/vector databases design/implementation, and automation pipelines, end-to-end and without hand-holding.
Fluency with AI as a development tool. You use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar and actively think about where agents can replace manual work.
Understanding of professional content creation (i.e., structure, tonality, narrative and ability to differentiate between great and ok content pieces).
Commercial mindset and strong prioritization: you know which systems move the needle and focus there.
Own a roadmap and hold architecture conversations with leadership.
Strong software engineering fundamentals; you don't need to be a traditional full-stack engineer, but you should be comfortable writing, reviewing and maintaining production code.
Your work will directly enable a community of 35,000+ platform engineers worldwide.
Real ownership of core infrastructure, with the autonomy to shape it.
Fully remote across Europe, strong async culture, low-ego team.
Competitive salary and room to grow as our ambitions scale.
If this sounds like a fit, we would love to hear from you!
