  • Custom Automation Development: Build scripts, integrations, and automation solutions using languages like Python, JavaScript/NodeJS, or similar to connect systems and streamline operations
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with engineering, data, and business teams to ensure automation solutions integrate seamlessly with existing tech stack
  • Documentation & Training: Create clear documentation and provide training to teams on new automated workflows and tools

  • Familiarity with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and data manipulation
  • Background in operations, consulting, or process improvement
  • Knowledge of workflow automation in SaaS or marketplace businesses
  • Experience in a startup or fast-paced environment
