Company mission
To enable brands to build repeatable and scalable programs that accelerate business growth, efficiently, and effectively, and drive higher ROI on their marketing investments.
Role
Who you are
- Experience building automations across cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure) and modern data platforms like Snowflake
- Strong hands-on development experience with Python and SQL, with some experience in another language such as JavaScript or C#
- Experience scheduling and orchestrating jobs (e.g., serverless functions, Airflow-like tools, cron-based systems, event-driven workflows)
- Proven examples of automations that reduced cost, saved time, improved reliability, or unlocked new capabilities
- Experience integrating APIs, internal services, and third-party tools
- Familiarity with AI-assisted automation (LLMs, classification, extraction, decision support), with a pragmatic approach to when not to use AI
- Comfortable working end-to-end: requirements - design – build - deploy - measure
Desirable
- Think pragmatically. You default to the simplest solution that works and scales
- Prototype quickly. You’d rather ship a working automation this week than debate frameworks for a month
- Care about outcomes. An automation that isn’t used or doesn’t deliver value isn’t “done.”
- Translate easily. You can talk ROI with stakeholders and implementation details with engineers
- Love the blank canvas. Ambiguity is fuel, not friction
- Can cut through complex problems
What the job involves
- We’re a lean crew of business-savvy technologists who prototype first and perfect later. Our charter is to uncover opportunity, launch Version 0.1 in days, measure real-world impact, then iterate without ego. We mix cutting-edge tools with brilliantly low-tech hacks—whatever accelerates the outcome
- Automation is core to how we work. We’re looking for a builder who can spot repeatable pain, choose the right tools, wire systems together, and deliver automations that actually get used and create measurable value
- Identify and prioritize automation opportunities: Partner with stakeholders to understand workflows, gather requirements, and continuously prioritize automation work based on impact (time saved, cost reduced, reliability improved)
- Design end-to-end automation: Select the right tools and patterns - serverless jobs, schedulers, cloud-native services, scripts, or AI-assisted workflows - and build solutions from first trigger to final outcome
- Build across the modern data stack: Create and maintain automations spanning AWS, Azure, and Snowflake, integrating with APIs, data pipelines, and internal services
- Engineer production-ready jobs: Write clean, reliable automation code using Python, SQL, C#, and TypeScript/JavaScript while handling scheduling, retries, logging, alerting, and failure modes
- Leverage AI where it makes sense: Build automations both with and without AI integrations - using AI to accelerate classification, enrichment, validation, or decision-making when it delivers clear benefits
- Drive measurable outcomes: Ensure every automation delivers value: track usage, validate impact, tune performance, and iterate or retire workflows based on real results
- Hunt for efficiencies: Proactively spot manual steps, brittle processes, or expensive workflows and replace them with faster, cheaper, more reliable automation
- Raise the bar for everyone: Document patterns, share reusable components, and help teams think more systematically about automation, creating systems instead of one-off scripts
