Senior AI Automation Engineer

Role Overview

The Senior AI Automation Engineer will embed across teams at Later, building and shipping automations that deliver measurable business impact. They will work at the intersection of engineer, internal consultant, and coach, partnering with non-technical stakeholders to understand their workflows and translate fuzzy problems into clear technical solutions.

What You Will Do

The engineer will build and ship automations using AI-native platforms, scripting, APIs, and no-code/low-code platforms. They will wire together LLMs, agents, RAG patterns, and prompt design with existing systems to deliver real workflow outcomes. They will also take working prototypes and harden them with reliability, observability, error handling, and reusability needed for production use.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have a track record of building and shipping automations that delivered measurable business impact. They will have strong fluency with modern AI tooling and a business-first mindset, starting with the problem and the user, not the technology.

Requirements

• A track record of building and shipping automations, internal tools, or AI-powered workflows that delivered measurable business impact.
• Strong fluency with modern AI tooling (LLMs, agents, RAG, prompt design) and comfort wiring together APIs, scripts, and no-code/low-code platforms.
• A business-first mindset: starting with the problem and the user, not the technology, and sharpening a non-technical partner’s problem definition through the right questions.
• Resourcefulness and a bias to action: shipping a working v1 in days, not months, and iterating from there.
• An instinct for scale, knowing when something is good enough as a one-off versus when it needs to be built to serve the whole org.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical audiences and coach others to build their own solutions.

Benefits

• Benefits plans as part of the overall compensation package
