IT & AI Automation Engineer

Improvado

About The Position

We're looking for a technically curious IT professional who is genuinely excited about AI — not just as a buzzword, but as a day-to-day working tool. This is a hybrid role: part IT engineer, part developer, part AI automation builder. You'll own the administration and reliability of our internal systems while also writing code, building integrations, and shipping agentic workflows that reduce manual work across the organisation. The ideal candidate is either a developer who has moved into IT, or an IT engineer with solid coding skills — someone comfortable context-switching between infrastructure, automation scripting, and hands-on AI tooling. Personal projects and self-taught experience count just as much as formal work history — we care about what you've built and how fast you learn, not just where you worked. You'll be working closely with engineering and operations. If you thrive in async-first, international environments and love being the person who makes everyone else's work easier — this is for you. A Note on Pace We're an AI-native team, and we expect AI-native output velocity. Tasks that would have taken a week in 2022 should take hours today — and we mean that literally. We use Claude, Cursor, and whatever else gets the job done. We don't measure how long something took; we measure whether it shipped, works, and is maintainable. If you're still working the way you worked two years ago, this role will be frustrating for both of us. If you've already rewired how you work around AI tooling — you'll feel right at home.

Requirements

Coding ability in Python and/or JavaScript — you can write and maintain automation scripts, read unfamiliar codebases, and ship working integrations
Solid foundation in IT: systems administration, SaaS management, APIs, identity and access controls
Hands-on curiosity about AI tools and LLM-based workflows — personal or open-source projects absolutely count
High ownership mindset: you manage your workstreams, flag blockers early, and don't wait to be chased
Familiarity with Google Workspace, Jira, Notion, Make, n8n
Awareness of InfoSec basics: SSO, RBAC, SOC 2 concepts, and general security hygiene
Available to overlap with US business hours (EST/PST) for key meetings and async communication
Strong written English — you communicate clearly, document well, and don't wait to be asked
Comfortable working independently in a remote, async-first environment

Nice To Haves

Experience with LangChain, CrewAI, Cursor AI, or similar agentic frameworks
Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations
Experience working with Claude and the Anthropic API
Background in both software development and IT/infrastructure — the blend is a strong differentiator
Previous remote work in international teams
Open-source contributions or personal AI/automation projects you can share

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain AI-powered internal workflows to reduce manual work across departments — using tools like n8n, Make, or LLM-based agents as appropriate
Implement and maintain MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations to connect internal tooling and data sources
Write and own automation scripts and integrations in Python and/or JavaScript; treat code readability and maintainability as a first-class concern
Prototype agentic systems that solve real team pain points; iterate based on feedback — fast
Own the administration and optimisation of our core SaaS stack: Google Workspace, Jira, Notion, and related platforms
Manage identity and access controls, SSO, and RBAC across the organisation
Maintain system reliability, handle incidents, and support day-to-day IT operations
Apply security hygiene across the stack — access reviews, offboarding, audit logging, SOC 2-aligned controls
Take ownership of workstreams end-to-end: scope, prioritise, deliver, and communicate progress without needing to be chased
Operate at AI-era velocity — tasks are measured in hours, not weeks; use every tool available to get there
Document systems, processes, and integrations clearly for async consumption by the wider team
Engage proactively with stakeholders to understand tooling needs and translate them into structured delivery

Benefits

Work at the intersection of AI and internal product — your tools get used every day by your teammates
High autonomy and ownership — we care about outcomes, not hours
Real opportunity to grow into AI engineering: you'll be shipping agentic systems from day one, with a team that will invest in your development
Collaborative, no-bureaucracy culture with a technically strong, international team
20 working days of PTO per year
US holidays and additional days off
