Role Description As Associate Systems & Automation Engineer , you will help turn open-ended business problems into practical internal tools, automations, and AI-assisted solutions. This is not a narrow support role and it is not a seat built around tightly scoped tickets. It is a builder role for someone who can take context, understand how work is happening today, and help create better systems that make the business run more effectively. - Work across a modern JavaScript and TypeScript environment to improve workflows, connect systems, and build solutions that reduce friction across the company. - This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable thinking through the full system — from data layer to end user — and who wants to ship useful solutions quickly inside a team that values practical output over unnecessary complexity. Responsibilities - Build internal tools, workflows, and automations that solve real operational problems across the business. - Turn open-ended requests into practical solutions that improve speed, clarity, and execution. - Contribute to full-stack development work in a JavaScript and TypeScript environment. - Build and improve applications using frameworks and databases similar to Next.js and Postgres. - Use AI-native development tools as a core part of the build process. - Work across the system from data layer to end user rather than only one narrow part of the stack. - Debug, troubleshoot, and refine systems in both local and production environments. - Help move solutions from development into production using sound deployment and production-readiness practices. - Prototype, test, and improve solutions based on real user feedback. - Help create a more integrated internal software environment that reduces reliance on disconnected third-party tools. Qualifications - Hands-on experience building software, automations, or technical products in JavaScript or TypeScript through real-world work or projects. - Proven experience using AI-native development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or similar as part of real build workflows. - Working knowledge of Git-based development and testing or test-suite fundamentals. - Experience contributing in a modern full-stack web environment using frameworks and databases similar to Next.js and Postgres. - Experience taking loosely defined technical or workflow problems and turning them into working solutions, with at least some systems design exposure. - Experience debugging and troubleshooting software in local and production environments. - Comfort working through deployment workflows and production-readiness practices that help move software from development to production. Nice to Have - Recent GitHub or other public project work that shows active building. - Startup, failed-startup, freelance, or other entrepreneurial builder experience. - Experience building internal tools, workflow software, or operational systems. - Experience in booking, scheduling, service operations, or other workflow-heavy environments. - A pattern of building side projects, hobby projects, or exploratory technical work outside of core job responsibilities. - Clear signs that technology is a genuine long-term interest, not just a narrow job skill.
