AI Automation Engineer
WorkHero, USA (remote) +1
The role
You'll sit between the contractors who own these businesses, our Senior Office Managers (SOMs) who run their back offices, and the engineers who build our platform — and for your accounts, you own the outcome. Your success isn't measured in automations shipped; it's measured in what changed for the contractor: hours back, invoices out faster, fewer things falling through cracks.
Learn how each business runs, then help shape what it becomes. Join onboarding calls, shadow SOMs, and sit with owners. Almost none of how these businesses operate is written down anywhere; it lives in someone's head and in the exceptions they've been making for years. You'll draw it out and make sense of it — but documenting the current state is only the start. The real work is partnering with the owner and SOM to imagine the ideal, AI-enabled version of the process, and turning that into a clear spec our system can act on.
Build the automations, then own them in production. Use our workflow builder, automation engine, and agentic tooling to ship automations that handle real work for real accounts. Then stay with them: watch the runs, catch the failures, figure out why a step broke on one account but not another. Build in the error handling, fallbacks, and checks that let a workflow survive a messy Monday, not just a clean demo. Write the specs, skills, and templates that make the system faster and smarter the next time around.
