# AI Agent Engineer

## About the Role

We are seeking a skilled, practical, and detail-oriented **AI Agent Engineer** to design, build, test, and maintain intelligent automation workflows that combine AI models, automation platforms, business logic, APIs, and data systems. This role is ideal for someone who understands how to move beyond simple automation and create reliable AI-assisted workflows that solve real business problems.

The AI Agent Engineer will help create internal and customer-facing automations that reduce manual work, improve decision-making, support scalable operations, and connect systems across the organization. This role will involve building workflows using platforms such as n8n, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, Workato, or similar tools, while also using custom code, API calls, webhook logic, database queries, AI prompt workflows, and structured output validation.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working at the intersection of automation, software engineering, AI, and operations. They should be able to understand business requirements, map processes, build dependable workflows, test edge cases, handle errors, secure integrations, and clearly document how automations work.

## Key Responsibilities

* Design, build, test, and maintain AI-powered agent workflows and automation systems.
* Create internal and customer-facing automations that reduce manual work, improve operational efficiency, and support better decision-making.
* Build workflows using automation platforms such as n8n, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, Workato, or similar tools.
* Integrate workflows with third-party APIs, AI model providers, databases, cloud services, CRMs, internal applications, webhooks, and business systems.
* Combine low-code automation tools with custom JavaScript or Python snippets to support more advanced logic and integrations.
* Develop AI prompt workflows for classification, summarization, extraction, scoring, routing, recommendations, matching, and decision support.
* Create structured output pipelines using JSON, schema validation, output formatting rules, retry logic, and fallback processes.
* Build webhook-based workflows that receive, process, transform, and route data between systems.
* Write and maintain API calls, database queries, conditional logic, transformation steps, and data enrichment processes.
* Design workflows that include error handling, logging, validation, retries, alerts, and graceful failure paths.
* Test workflows for accuracy, reliability, formatting consistency, edge cases, missing data, duplicate data, and business-rule compliance.
* Monitor workflow performance and troubleshoot issues related to API failures, data inconsistencies, AI output problems, timeout errors, rate limits, and integration changes.
* Secure automation workflows by protecting credentials, managing access, validating inputs, and following safe data-handling practices.
* Collaborate with product, development, operations, and business teams to understand workflow needs and translate them into practical automation designs.
* Review existing manual processes and identify opportunities for AI-assisted automation.
* Document workflow architecture, business logic, prompts, integrations, data flows, dependencies, testing steps, and maintenance procedures.
* Stay current with AI agent tools, automation platforms, API integration patterns, LLM capabilities, and emerging workflow engineering best practices.

## Required Qualifications

* Hands-on experience building automation workflows, AI workflows, backend integrations, or business process automations.
* Experience with automation platforms such as n8n, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, Workato, Airtable Automations, or similar tools.
* Experience integrating third-party APIs, webhooks, databases, cloud services, and internal applications.
* Ability to use JavaScript, Python, or similar scripting languages to extend workflow logic and handle custom processing.
* Experience working with large language models, AI APIs, prompt workflows, structured outputs, or AI-assisted automation.
* Strong understanding of JSON, REST APIs, webhooks, authentication methods, data transformation, and conditional workflow logic.
* Ability to design reliable workflows with error handling, retries, validation, logging, and fallback processes.
* Experience testing workflows and debugging issues across multiple connected systems.
* Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to translate business processes into clear automation logic.
* Ability to document technical workflows in a way that can be understood and maintained by others.
* Comfortable working independently in a remote environment while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

## Preferred Qualifications

* Experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Azure AI, AWS AI services, or similar AI model providers.
* Experience building agentic workflows that use tool calling, prompt chains, decision branches, structured outputs, or multi-step reasoning processes.
* Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation, or AI-powered knowledge workflows.
* Experience with SQL, NoSQL databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, CRMs, CMS platforms, or internal business databases.
* Experience creating workflows for candidate matching, job matching, resume analysis, scoring systems, document extraction, lead routing, customer support, or operational automation.
* Familiarity with cloud services, serverless functions, queues, schedulers, storage systems, and monitoring tools.
* Experience handling API rate limits, authentication failures, pagination, retries, batching, and timeout issues.
* Understanding of data privacy, secure credential handling, responsible AI practices, and safe processing of user information.
* Experience working in a startup, SaaS company, recruiting technology platform, AI product team, or fast-moving business environment.
* Familiarity with Git, version control, workflow documentation standards, and change management processes.

## Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a practical automation builder who can connect systems, design intelligent workflows, and create dependable AI-powered processes that work in real business environments. This person understands that effective AI agent systems require more than prompts. They require strong workflow design, clean data handling, reliable integrations, error handling, validation, logging, and ongoing maintenance.

This person should be comfortable moving between low-code tools and custom code. They should be able to build quickly while still thinking carefully about reliability, security, scalability, and maintainability. They should enjoy solving operational problems, improving manual processes, and creating workflows that help teams move faster with fewer errors.

The right candidate is curious, organized, and technically resourceful. They can understand business goals, map complex processes, work through ambiguous requirements, and turn disconnected systems into smooth, useful automations.

## Work Environment

This is a **fully remote, full-time position**. The role requires strong communication, self-direction, and the ability to collaborate effectively with distributed teams. The AI Agent Engineer will work closely with leadership, developers, product stakeholders, operations teams, and internal users to build workflows that improve products, processes, and business operations.

This role is well suited for someone who enjoys hands-on building, testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. The AI Agent Engineer should be comfortable participating in planning discussions, reviewing workflow requirements, explaining implementation choices, and iterating quickly based on business needs, testing results, and user feedback.
