AI Automation Team Lead (Remote, Contract)

We are building a small, high-impact team of problem-solvers, builders, and operators within SoftDev who will help us transform and evolve in the AI era.

This is not a traditional role with narrowly defined responsibilities. You will join a cross-functional transformation squad focused on identifying inefficiencies, challenging legacy workflows, and implementing AI-powered solutions that create measurable business impact.

Some team members may come from technical backgrounds; others from operations, product, analytics, or project management.

What matters the most:

• Ability to solve real problems in a variety of different departments across the organization
• Being agile, forward-thinking, and adaptable
• Not being tied to legacy systems and processes
• Proposing creative solutions and being willing to ask: “Why do we still do it this way?” and then building something better

We expect you to be:

• Self-directed, self-sufficient, and comfortable with ambiguity
• A strong problem-solver with analytical thinking and data fluency
• Able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams
• Experienced with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Gemini, n8n, etc.), automations, agents, or workflows
• Capable of evaluating business value, calculating ROI, and prioritizing incoming automation requests
• Able to design and build integrations that connect new AI tooling with core database systems (e.g., mainDB / legacy stacks)
• Strong in stakeholder management and delegating/coordinating tasks for a small team (3–4 members)

Technical & Core Requirements:

• Practical experience writing Python scripts for automation and data manipulation
• Proficiency in SQL and working with relational databases
• Experience with data flow design and process redesign
• Hands-on experience with no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., n8n, Zapier) alongside custom code solutions

Bonus Points:

• Experience with vibe-coding practices or rapid prototyping tools
• Experience leading change initiatives or managing technical team members
• Experience migrating legacy automated processes to modern, code-based or AI-assisted infrastructure
• Business Analysis or Data Analytics background

What we offer:

• Fully remote work format.
• Opportunity to shape the backbone systems of a modern, data-driven digital company.
• A collaborative, innovation-first environment that values initiative and experimentation.
• Paid time off and sick leave.
• Reduced working hours on Fridays during the summer.
• Days-off on US national holidays + your birthday.

Don't hesitate to apply. We look forward to meet you!
