The mission
Why this role exists
Repetitive work quietly drains capable people.
Your job is to find it, understand it, and replace it with automation that is reliable, inspectable, and leaves a human in control of the decisions that matter.
The work
What you'll work on
Workflow automations and internal tools that remove manual, repetitive operational work.Integrations and data pipelines that connect the systems Aooma and its clients rely on.AI-assisted operational systems with clear guardrails, logging, and rollback paths.Practical tooling that makes the rest of the team faster and less error-prone.
Proof
What strong signal looks like
Automations or internal tools you have actually shipped and maintained.Integrations between real systems (APIs, queues, databases, third-party services).A clear write-up or demo of a manual process you replaced and the impact it had.
Day to day
Responsibilities
Identify high-friction manual processes and design dependable automations for them.Build and maintain integrations, internal tools, and data pipelines.Add monitoring, error handling, and safe failure modes to everything you ship.Document how systems work so others can understand, inspect, and improve them.
What we need
Requirements
Strong programming ability in a general-purpose language (e.g.
TypeScript, Python, Go).Experience building and operating automations or integrations in production.Comfort working with APIs, data, and the failure modes of distributed systems.Care for security, privacy, and keeping a human in control of consequential actions.
Bonus
Useful, but not required
Experience with AI-assisted automation or agent workflows.Cloud / infrastructure experience (Cloudflare, AWS, GCP).A track record of internal tooling that other people came to depend on.
Evaluation
How we evaluate
We focus on real systems you have built.
Expect to walk us through an automation or tool you shipped โ what it does, why you designed it that way, and how it behaves when things go wrong.
