About the Role

We’re looking for a Business Transformation Engineer who thinks in AI-first terms — someone who sees every bottleneck, manual process, and internal tool as a candidate for intelligent automation. In this role, you’ll identify high-impact opportunities to reimagine how work gets done, build scalable AI-driven solutions, and lead the charge to embed these innovations across teams.

You'll combine technical depth with systems thinking and cross-functional collaboration to drive measurable operational leverage and employee enablement through automation, agents, and internal platforms.

• Identify and prioritize high-leverage, repetitive workflows across the company that can be transformed using AI and automation.
• Design, build, and deploy AI agents, internal tools, and automated systems using LLMs, APIs, and modern orchestration frameworks.
• Rapidly prototype and launch proof-of-concepts (POCs), gather feedback, and convert them into stable, maintainable production systems.
• Measure and report on ROI, time savings, and efficiency gains across teams and use cases.
• Partner with stakeholders to embed adoption, drive change management, and align efforts with business priorities.
• Maintain and evolve our internal Automation Library — a collection of reusable, scalable components and solutions.
• Stay on the cutting edge of AI trends, tools, and platforms; proactively recommend and implement solutions that scale across the business.

• Have 3–6+ years of experience in software engineering, automation, AI infrastructure, or machine learning
• Are fluent in Python, APIs, and tools like LangChain, Zapier, Retool, or equivalent orchestration frameworks
• Can take an ambiguous business process and craft an elegant, AI-powered solution
• Build clean, scalable internal systems that people actually use
• Are well-versed in the modern AI tooling stack and understand what tools to use where
• Thrive in cross-functional environments, translating technical concepts to stakeholders across product, ops, and leadership
• Are energized by speed, experimentation, and showing clear impact
• Have a bias toward action, a systems mindset, and a love of measurable outcomes

• Experience in multifamily, SaaS, or operations-heavy environments
• Prior contributions to open source AI or automation tools
• Familiarity with RAG, agentic workflows, vector databases, or internal dev platforms

• 2+ high-friction workflows fully automated and adopted in production
• Quantifiable time savings and efficiency gains across at least 2 departments

• Positive internal feedback and enthusiastic usage of tools you build
• A clear and aligned AI automation roadmap and dashboard in place

Application Requirement

Please share 2–3 examples of automations or internal tools you’ve built. We’re looking for passion, creativity, and real-world results. This is your chance to show and tell!
