Job Summary

Pyyne is seeking an AI Automation Engineer with experience identifying opportunities for and implementing LLMs into business workflows to work as a consultant out of our South American Office. This is a high-impact role for Pyyne as we build up our Applied AI services and continue to create real business value for our clients.

A successful candidate in this role will be comfortable working with non-technical stakeholders to map current business workflows and pain points into real AI-powered solutions. They will be responsible for every step of the process, from client discovery and business analysis to building and deploying the identified solution.

Key Responsibilities

• Run structured discovery sessions with clients to map current workflows, pain points, and manual bottlenecks
• Identify realistic AI automation opportunities - and just as importantly, tell clients when AI isn't the right tool
• Build business cases for automation initiatives: time saved, error reduction, cost impact
• Prioritize a roadmap of opportunities based on feasibility, ROI, and client readiness
• Maintain trust with clients by setting honest expectations and delivering on them
• Translate discovery findings into working automations using tools like n8n, Zapier, Make, LangChain, or custom Python pipelines
• Integrate LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) into internal tools, data pipelines, and business processes
• Write clean, maintainable code - Python primarily, with some JS/TS as needed
• Monitor, maintain, and iterate on automations post-launch

Must Have Skills:

• 3+ years of overall engineering experience, with at least 1-2 years working with AI/LLM tools in production
• 3+ years of experience working with APIs, webhooks, and data transformation
• 2+ years of experience with Python as a primary language
• 2+ years of experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make, etc.)
• Comfort working with JavaScript and/or TypeScript as needed
• Proven ability to work directly with non-technical stakeholders - you can run a discovery session, not just a standup
• Ability to scope your own work - you can walk out of a client meeting and know what to build next

Nice to Have Skills:

• Experience with RAG pipelines, vector databases, or agent frameworks
• Background in consulting, professional services, or client-facing engineering

Benefits:

• Flexible remote working environment.
• Career development opportunities in a fast-growing company.
