POSITION INFO:
Role Summary: The Junior AI Engineer is a "Digital Efficiency Node" responsible for finding and fixing manual bottlenecks across the business. Your mission is to embed yourself within departments—to identify repetitive tasks and replace them with AI-driven automation. This role is not just about writing code; it is about understanding how our business functions and using technology to make every staff member faster and more effective.

Key Responsibilities
● Process Mapping: Understand departmental workflows to find "high-friction" tasks
(e.g., manual data entry, document sorting, or repetitive emailing).
● AI Automation: Build and deploy Python scripts, LLM-powered assistants, and
low-code tools to handle these tasks automatically.
● System Integration: Connect our core systems with AI tools to ensure data flows
seamlessly without human intervention.
● Sandbox Development: Rapidly prototype new ideas in a safe environment before moving them into live production.
● Cross-Functional Support: Act as a technical translator, helping non-technical teams understand how to use AI to solve their specific daily challenges.
● Collaborative Coding: Participate in weekly "Prompt Syncs" to share successful automation, reusable code snippets, and lessons learned with the wider strike team.
● Accuracy & Ethics: Monitor AI outputs to ensure they are accurate, unbiased, and compliant with company data security policies.

Requirements

Education: Technical aptitude (engineering/finance/technology) and less than 2 years of work experience.
● Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python and/or strong interest in Generative AI and API integrations.
● Logic & Reasoning: A natural "logical" approach to problem-solving—breaking
complex workflows down into simple, automated steps.
● Communication: The ability to explain technical solutions in simple language to colleagues who are not tech-savvy.
● Adaptability: A "builder" mindset that thrives in a fast-paced, 30-day execution cycle where priorities evolve quickly.
● Drive: High curiosity and a self-starting attitude toward learning the latest AI tools and automation trends.
