Automation Engineer (Contract)
We are building multiple internal engines (Legal Engine, HR Engine, Corporate Ops) and a strong internal corporate contour.
Our core team is focused on product, infrastructure, and execution.
This role exists to automate repetitive operational workflows so that engineers, legal, HR, and ops teams do not waste time on manual work.
This is an execution role, not an architecture or ownership position.
Responsibilities
• Automate routine business and operational processes
• Build workflows using: Make.com (Integromat), REST APIs and webhooks
• Integrate and synchronize systems such as: Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, GitHub, ATS / HR tools
• Create event-driven automations: status changes, document lifecycle events, onboarding and offboarding triggers
What is explicitly NOT part of this role
• Designing product or system architecture
• Making business or process decisions
• Owning systems or teams
• Replacing DevOps or backend engineers
You implement approved workflows - you do not define them.
Who we are looking for
• Practical experience with business process automation
• Strong hands-on experience with Make.com
• Solid understanding of APIs, webhooks, authentication
• Ability to quickly understand new tools and services
• Clean, reliable execution with clear documentation
• Comfortable working with irregular task flow (from time to time)
Strong advantage
• Experience in SaaS, or fast-growing startups
• Experience with no-code / low-code tools beyond Make.com
• Basic understanding of DevOps workflows (interaction level)
What we offer
• Task-based engagement
• Clear scope and expected output per task
• Direct communication with core team
• No bureaucracy, no micromanagement
What you get
• Real production tasks, not demo projects
• Access to complex, real-world automation challenges
• Long-term collaboration if things work well
• Flexible contract and payment model (hourly or per task)
