Job Description:
Ready to build the future of marketing with AI? We're looking for an AI Marketing Specialist who's passionate about automation, enjoys working with APIs, and gets excited about turning innovative ideas into practical solutions. You'll be instrumental in making AI truly valuable for our teams - developing tools that streamline workflows, automate routine tasks, and unlock new creative possibilities.
This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects that directly impact our business operations.

- Design and optimize prompts, fine-tune models when needed, and ensure reliable outputs.
- Create automation pipelines with tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, and Copilot Studio.
- Integrate AI models with our martech stack through APIs, webhooks, and custom scripts.
- Monitor outputs, implement guardrails for brand safety, and ensure compliance.
- Debug, document, and continuously improve solutions.
What We're Looking For
- Practical skills matter more than degrees. Curiosity and learning ability outweigh credentials.
- Strong Python coding skills and proven experience delivering functional tools.
- Hands-on with OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, open-source LLMs, and workflow automation platforms.
- Solid understanding of LLM capabilities/limitations and integration best practices.
- Comfortable with APIs, data integration, and version control.
- Problem-solver with self-directed learning ability and clear communication skills.
Nice to Have:
- Portfolio, open-source contributions, or personal AI/automation projects.
- Understanding of marketing/advertising workflows.
- Active in AI communities, curious about emerging tech, and eager to improve processes.
