Full Job Description
About the Role

We're hiring an AI Automation Engineer to grow into one of the most interesting roles in our technology org. You'll partner with our Senior AI Automation Engineer to embed with business teams across OUTFRONT, find broken manual processes, and ship AI-powered automations that fix them. You'll spend your first year ramping fast: shipping production work from day one, learning our AWS and Microsoft stacks, building a reputation as someone who delivers.

This is an engineering role first. We're hiring for software fundamentals (you can write good code, design clean APIs, debug a real production issue) and we'll teach you the rest. Power Platform, our internal AI tooling, OOH advertising - none of it is a prerequisite. We assume you'll pick those up. What we can't teach you in 90 days is the engineering chops.

You'll also contribute to OUTGPT, our internal AI platform built on the Vercel AI SDK and AWS Bedrock. Early on, that means small features and integrations under review. As you grow, you'll own larger pieces.

What You'll Work On
  • Automation delivery alongside the Senior. Pair on stakeholder engagements early. Take the lead on your own projects as you ramp. Ship automations that real business teams use every day.
  • AI agents and workflows. Build agents in Copilot Studio for M365-native use cases and in Bedrock for autonomous and system-data work. Ship, learn where they break, ship better ones.
  • OUTGPT contributions. Work on features, integrations, and capabilities for our internal AI platform. Your code gets reviewed by the Lead AI Platform Engineer; your bar comes up fast.
  • Integration work. REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, SQL, Snowflake, Salesforce. The connective tissue of every automation we ship.
  • Mentorship in both directions. Get mentored by the Senior and the Lead. Mentor our intern. Both will make you better.

What We're Looking For
  • 2-4 years building production software. Internships count toward the floor if the work was real and the systems shipped.
  • Strong software fundamentals. You write clean code, you reason about systems, you can debug a problem you didn't write.
  • Hands-on experience with AI/LLMs, whether through professional work, side projects, hackathons, or coursework. You've built something that uses an LLM and learned why it's harder than it looks.
  • Practical AWS experience. Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM at minimum. You don't need to be a cloud expert; you do need to be able to ship there.
  • Proficiency in Python, TypeScript/Node, or both. Comfort with SQL.
  • API integration experience. REST, JSON, OAuth basics. You've connected systems and seen things break.
  • You want to be in front of customers. You're comfortable sitting with a Finance lead or a Sales Ops manager, asking dumb questions, and walking away with a plan.
  • A portfolio that speaks for itself. GitHub, a side project, a deployed app, a meaningful internship - something we can look at and say "this person ships."

Nice to Have
  • Experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate). If you don't have it, you'll learn it.
  • Familiarity with the Vercel AI SDK, Next.js, or modern TypeScript stacks.
  • Experience with MCP, A2A, or agent frameworks.
  • Snowflake, Sigma, or modern analytics stack exposure.
  • Experience in advertising technology, particularly OOH or DOOH.
  • CS degree or equivalent technical degree. Not required if your portfolio is strong.

Tech Stack You'll Touch

AWS (Bedrock, Lambda, Step Functions, RDS), TypeScript/Node, Python, Vercel AI SDK, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Microsoft (Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, M365), Snowflake, Salesforce, Bitbucket, Kiro, Claude Code.

Reporting and Team

Reports to the VP of AI. Works alongside the Lead AI Platform Engineer (technical mentor), the Senior AI Automation Engineer (your day-to-day pairing partner), and an intern (your first mentee).

For New York, New Jersey, and California, the salary range for this role is $125,000-$145,000 per year. Compensation is determined during our interview process by assessing a candidate's experience and skills relative to internal peers and market benchmarks evaluated for the scope and responsibilities of the position. Please note that the foregoing compensation information is a good-faith assessment associated with this position only and is provided pursuant to the corresponding Salary Transparency Laws.
