What you will do

• Map and document operational workflows, identify inefficiencies, and prioritise high-impact automation opportunities.
• Design, build, test, and deploy automations primarily in n8n, using JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python where needed.
• Build and ship AI agents and agentic workflows using n8n, LLM APIs, Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI-native tools.
• Integrate APIs, databases, webhooks, CRMs, and internal systems into modular architectures with consistent data flows.
• Use AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI for extraction, routing, classification, and triage; ground agents with MCP, RAG, embeddings, and vector or hybrid search.

• Proven experience in automation engineering, AI engineering, technical operations, solutions engineering, or a similar role.
• Strong hands-on experience with n8n, or with Make or Zapier alongside willingness to move to n8n.

Nice to have
