Applied AI Engineer (Internal Operations)
đ Full Remote | 183 Days Workations. Techstack: Claude, Python, AI Agents. Build the future of AI-driven Ops at WorkFlex!
đ Build the Machine that Builds the Machine
Traditional departments like Compliance and Customer Success are often slowed down by manual research and repetitive workflows. At WorkFlex, we donât just automate compliance for our customers; we automate it for ourselves.
We are looking for Applied AI Engineers to act as internal force-multipliers. You aren't a ticket-taker; you are an Internal Consultant embedded directly into teams like Customer Success, Compliance Research, and Operations. Your mission? Find the friction and dissolve it with AI.
đ The Lifestyle: 183 Days of Workations
We are a remote-only company. You can work from a beach, a mountain, or your home office. We offer 183 days of workations per year because we believe the best solutions come from people who are inspired by their surroundings.
đ ď¸ The Workflow: AI-Native Orchestration
At WorkFlex, we operate differently. If your first instinct is to open an empty IDE and start manually typing boilerplate, you are the wrong profile.
Orchestration over Coding: You will use Claude Code, Cursor, and agentic workflows to build at a speed that was impossible two years ago.
Architectâs Mind: You guide the AI to build scalable "sidecar" applications and internal tools that integrate with our core platform via APIs.
End-to-End Ownership: You build it, you test it, and you run it. You own the lifecycle of your internal products from the first line of (AI-generated) code to production.
đŻ What You Will Do
Embedded Discovery: You will spend time "on the ground" shadowing Compliance Officers and Success Managers. Youâll identify high-impact automation opportunities that others might miss.
Rapid Prototyping & Delivery: You will design and deploy internal agents, custom LLM interfaces, and automated research pipelines. You move fast to prove value.
Consultative Partnership: Reporting directly to the Head of Technology, you will work as a peer to Department Heads (CS, Compliance) to define what needs to be built. No Product Managers in betweenâjust you and the problem.
Smart Integrations: While you mostly build independent sidecar apps, youâll collaborate with the Product Engineering teams to build secure API-based integrations with our core Java/Angular platform.
Beyond Low-Code: We use n8n for simple logic, but you are here to go further. Youâll write the Python, Node, or TypeScript "glue" that powers sophisticated agentic workflows.
â What You Need to Succeed
Experience: 2+ years of professional engineering experience. You need enough "battle scars" to know when AI-generated code is robust and when itâs a hallucination.
AI-Native Instincts: You are already a power-user of Claude and LLM tools. You understand how to prompt, chain, and audit AI output for high-stakes environments.
The "Hacker" Mindset: You are tech-stack agnostic. Whether itâs Python for data processing or Node.js for a Slack bot, you use the best tool for the job.
Communication Mastery: You can sit with a non-technical colleague, listen to their frustrations, and translate them into a technical solution. You are a listener first, an engineer second.
Self-Sufficiency: You thrive without a manager telling you what to do. You define your own roadmap based on where you can provide the most value to the team.
đ Why Join Us at WorkFlex
Unmatched Freedom: Work from anywhere in the world with our industry-leading workation policy.
The Best Tools: We provide the budget and top-tier access to the latest AI models and developer tools.
High Impact: When you automate a task that used to take a Compliance Officer 10 hours a week, youâre an instant hero.
Growth: Virtual Stock Options (VSOPs) and a culture that rewards merit and speed.
We may use AI-assisted tools to support parts of our recruitment process. These tools help our team review applications more efficiently, and all hiring decisions are made by humans.
