- Build and troubleshoot complex automations, API integrations, LLM applications, and AI voice agents hands-on.
- Review technical designs and workflows before deployment, ensuring quality, scalability, and reliability.
- Investigate production failures, identify root causes, and implement permanent fixes.

2. AI Development & Deployment

- Develop AI agents, voice agents, CRM integrations, and LLM-powered applications.
- Manage deployment, testing, monitoring, error handling, and ongoing maintenance.
- Create reusable workflows, templates, prompts, and code components to speed up delivery.
- Optimize AI model selection, API usage, response times, and operating costs.

3. Team & Project Management

- Recruit, train, mentor, and manage AI developers and automation engineers.
- Assign tasks, review code and workflows, track delivery, and maintain technical quality standards.
- Establish development SOPs, documentation practices, testing procedures, and deployment guidelines.
- Ensure every client solution is properly documented and can be maintained by multiple team members.

4. Client Communication

- Explain technical concepts in simple language and set realistic expectations.
- Identify technical risks and recommend practical solutions before development begins.

5. Security & Infrastructure

- Implement secure API integrations, MFA, least-privilege access, and appropriate data protection.
- Protect AI systems against prompt injection, data leakage, unauthorized actions, and excessive API costs.
- Establish monitoring, alerts, incident-response procedures, and recovery plans.

Mandatory Requirements

- 7+ years in software engineering, integration engineering, or automation, including 2+ years building production AI or LLM-powered systems.
- Robust hands-on experience with n8n, plus working knowledge of Make and/or Zapier.
- Excellent knowledge of REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, error handling, and system integrations.
- Experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or similar LLM platforms.

- Proven ability to lead engineers, review technical work, and manage project delivery.
