Full Job Description
Key Responsibilities:
  • Work directly with business users across operations, engineering, finance, land, regulatory, and IT to understand day-to-day pain points and inefficiencies.
  • Embed with teams to observe workflows, identify automation opportunities, and rapidly prototype AI-enabled solutions that remove manual effort and friction.
  • Translate loosely defined business problems into concrete, technical solutions using GPTs, automation platforms, and custom code.
  • Act as a hands-on automation partner; not a ticket-taker, owning solutions from problem definition through delivery and iteration.
  • Iterate quickly based on user feedback, refining prompts, workflows, and tools to improve usability, trust, and adoption.
  • Create lightweight documentation, examples, and usage patterns that allow users to confidently leverage AI tools in their daily work.

AI Engineering & GPT Enablement
  • Design, build, and deploy GPT-based tools and assistants that directly augment user workflows and decision-making.
  • Develop custom GPTs, prompt frameworks, and reusable components tailored to real operational and knowledge-work use cases.
  • Integrate large language models via APIs into enterprise systems, data platforms, and automated workflows.
  • Balance speed and experimentation with engineering rigor to deliver reliable, repeatable, production-grade solutions.

Workflow Automation & Orchestration
  • Design and implement end-to-end automated workflows that combine GPTs, business rules, and enterprise data.
  • Automate repetitive, manual, or cognitively heavy tasks such as document generation, summarization, validation, analysis, and reporting.
  • Use Python, APIs, and workflow automation platforms to orchestrate AI-driven processes that scale beyond one-off solutions.
  • Ensure automations are resilient and supportable, with appropriate error handling, logging, and basic observability.


Qualifications & Experience:
Education:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
  • Equivalent practical experience will be considered.


Technical Skills & Experience:
  • 4+ years of experience in software engineering, automation, data engineering, or adjacent technical roles.
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying GPT-based solutions using OpenAI or comparable LLM platforms.
  • Strong skills in prompt engineering, API integrations, and structured output design.
  • Experience with Python and/or JavaScript for automation, orchestration, and integration.
  • Familiarity with workflow automation platforms (e.g., UIPath, Power Automate, serverless workflows, job schedulers).
  • Experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise data platforms (e.g., Snowflake or similar).
  • Understanding of authentication, authorization, and secure API usage.


Skills & Competencies:
  • Strong ability to partner directly with business users, quickly build trust, and deeply understand how work actually gets done.
  • Equally comfortable writing code and sitting with users to map workflows, ask good questions, and iterate on solutions.
  • Bias toward action and simplification. Focused on removing friction rather than adding tooling.
  • Ability to move between high-level problem framing and low-level implementation details without losing momentum.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts and AI limitations in plain language.


Work Environment & Physical Requirements:
  • Primarily office-based with occasional travel to field offices and operational sites as needed.
  • Potential exposure to remote and high-risk environments, requiring adherence to safety protocols.
  • May involve walking, climbing, bending, or handling equipment during site visits.
  • Possible exposure to varied weather conditions (heat, cold, rain) while on-site at the field offices.
  • Availability for emergency response and incident management, including after-hours support when required.
