Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience as an automation engineer or in a technical operations role, preferably from a SaaS background
- Strong hands-on experience with automation platforms like Zapier, Make, Replit, Airtable, and AI tools like GPT, Jasper, or Claude
- Comfort navigating async, fast-paced environments with minimal supervision
- Ability to think in systems, diagnose bottlenecks, and independently design automations to solve them
- Bonus: Experience with AI copywriting, automated LinkedIn/email outreach, or setting up internal bots
- You should be a great communicator and culture maintainer
- You're data-driven and customer-focused
- You measure your results & automate when possible
- You get 10% better at something every week
- You have an internal compass and take accountability & initiative
- We value overcommunication, candid feedback and a results-driven culture
Desirable
- You're curious, resourceful, and love figuring things out
- You naturally document your work and build for scale
- You write clearly and concisely — especially in async-first setups
- You geek out on productivity tools, dashboards, or workflow hacks
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a hands-on AI Automation Engineer to work directly with our CEO and redefine how work gets done across the company
- We're looking for someone who can build systems, eliminate inefficiencies, and use the latest tech to automate the CEO’s workflows and eventually broader company operations
- You’ll work closely with a CEO who moves fast and values ownership, autonomy, and leverage
- Design and deploy AI-powered workflows and systems using tools like Zapier, Make, Replit, Airtable, and other no-code/low-code platforms
- Eliminate repetitive or manual tasks in areas such as schedule management, internal and external communication and more
- Leverage the latest LLMs, scheduling bots, and AI assistants to handle outreach, draft communications, summarize content, and manage internal knowledge
- Partner with the CEO on high-impact projects focused on scaling internal processes or launching new systems using automation and AI
- Continually explore new AI tools and automation platforms — from open-source agents to commercial SaaS — and evaluate what works best for our evolving needs
Our take
COVID-19 has seen a huge increase in remote business meetings, resulting in communication increasingly taking place across digital platforms. This has reduced the effectiveness of traditional personal assistants, resulting in a demand for a digital alternative.
Fireflies provides an AI assistant for digital business meetings that takes notes, transcribes and analyzes web-conference meetings. The software can then use this recorded data to help users automate post-meeting tasks such as data entry and task creation.
There are a number of competing transcription solutions operating in this space, for example Reason8, Voicea and Zoom AI Assistant, which was released in 2023. Fireflies sets itself apart with its generous free plan and, consequently, is poised for growth as the interest in videoconferencing continues to rise.
