🚀 Build the Future of Global Work - From Anywhere

At WorkFlex, we don’t just "allow" remote work, we enable it for the world. We are building the automated operating system for international travel compliance, tax, and duty of care.

The Lifestyle: We are a remote-only company. You can work from anywhere and take up to 183 days of workations per year. We value your output and your "Architect’s Mind," not the hours you spend in an IDE or a physical office.

🛠️ The Role: The Automation "Practice Lead"

You will lead a high-autonomy, distributed squad of 3 Applied AI Engineers. This is a Player-Coach role designed for an experienced engineer who wants to lead a team while keeping their hands in the codebase.

• The Internal Consultant Model: Your engineers operate semi-autonomously, embedded in different departments (Compliance, CS, Ops). They don't work on the same daily codebase. Instead, you run this team like a "Guild" - fostering async collaboration, code reviews, and shared AI prompting strategies. While your "clients" are the operational departments, your home is the Engineering organization.

• The 50/50 Split: You’ll spend half your time as an individual contributor - building complex, cross-departmental automation workflows and standardizing the deployment pipelines (Docker, CI/CD) for your team. The other half is dedicated to people leadership, stakeholder management, and tracking the impact of your team's work.

🤖 The Way We Work: Agentic & Async

We are not a traditional "code-monkey" shop.

• Agentic Coding: Our workflow is heavily driven by AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor). We expect you to lead your team in using AI as a high-leverage tool to build scalable internal tools at 4x speed.

• Deep Work, No Bablah: We operate with an async-first culture. We protect your time so you can focus on leadership and the bigger picture.

🎯 What You Will Do

• Define the ROI Framework: You won't just build; you will measure. You will establish the metrics framework to quantify how many hours of manual work your team is saving the company each quarter.

• Stakeholder Partnership: You will collaborate directly with Department Heads (Compliance, Customer Success, etc.) to identify the highest-impact automation opportunities and prioritize the pipeline for your team.

• Pave the Road: You will define the technical standards. While your team builds "sidecar" apps, you ensure they are using a unified, secure approach to API integrations, deployment, and data handling.

• Force Multiplication: You will technically mentor your engineers and handle all classical people management topics: 1-on-1s, performance reviews, career growth, and salary negotiations.

⭐ What You Need to Succeed

• Traditional Engineering Roots: You have a strong foundational background in Computer Science or Software Engineering. You need deep experience in backend technologies (Python, Node.js/TypeScript, Docker, API design) to audit and guide AI-generated architectures. We need you to be the ultimate "BS-checker" for AI output.

• The Lead Experience: 1-2+ years of experience in people management. You know how to grow engineers and manage performance, particularly in a remote, highly autonomous environment.

• AI-Native Instincts: You don't need to be a foundational model researcher, but you must be a power-user of LLM tools and orchestration frameworks (n8n, agentic workflows with Claude). You know how to use the best tool for the job.

• Consultative Communication: You can sit with a non-technical executive, translate their operational nightmares into a technical roadmap, and confidently report back on the metrics of success.

🎁 Why WorkFlex?

• True Global Mobility: Work from anywhere. Truly. 183 days of workations per year is in our DNA.

• High Leverage: Use all the AI tools on the market. We don't just permit them; we require them.

• Equity: Virtual Stock Options (VSOPs) so you own a piece of the mission.

• Flexibility: Monthly budget for co-working or fitness, and a "results-only" work culture.

Ready to lead the agentic revolution?

If you have the technical depth of an architect and the empathy of a leader, we want to talk. We value ambition and a "builder" mindset over a perfect CV.

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.
