Automation Engineer

Why us?

intent is a product development studio that partners with ambitious companies worldwide to design, build, and scale connected devices and digital experiences. Our vision has always been to grow the company in a smart way and not necessarily through headcount. Advancements in tools and LLMs open up a new chapter for us in this regard.

We are looking for an Automation Engineer who thrives at the intersection of data, process, and automation. Our aim is to automate all internal processes across all departments from operations, project management, HR, Sales and marketing.

What’s cool about this job? E.g. you’ll be learning how to get +USD1M deals as well as building a company operations backbone, designed with long-term benefits and quality in mind, and constant access to feedback about impact made by your work. We don’t want simple one-off workflows that don’t make any impact.

About the role

This is a freelance role, which means that you’ll have freedom of setting your schedule and workload throughout every week and month. There’s easily a few months of full-time work ahead, with the possibility of turning into a full-time position for the right fit after the initial 3 months.

You’ll work closely with our CEO, and multiple departments in an effort to break information silos and leverage the terabytes of data we already have. We’re looking for someone who thinks in systems rather than single workflows, builds result-oriented solutions and looks for smarter, faster, and more reliable ways of doing things.

What you’ll do:

• Work across departments like Sales, HR, Operations and Project Management to understand their processes and connect them with smart automations.

• Conceive, design, build, and maintain automated workflows.

• Proactively suggest and implement new automation and process improvements without waiting for assignments.

• Participate in internal discovery sessions with stakeholders to identify the pain points and success criteria for the solutions built.

• Document processes, monitor results, and measure impact of improvements.

• Design simple monitoring, dashboards or alerts so we always know if key automations are working correctly.

Practical info:

• Contract: B2B / freelance

• Rate: 90 - 150 PLN net / hour (depending on your experience)

• Start: ASAP

• Engagement: long-term cooperation

• Recruitment process

  • HR/intro call (45 min)

  • Technical interview (60 min)

  • Meeting with the CEO (30 min)

  • Final decision & start

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

• You have solid experience with automation tools such as Clay, Zapier, n8n or Make, and you’re able to quickly learn new ones.

• You have prior experience with delivering complex automation systems using software architecture design patterns,

• You're comfortable writing simple scripts in JavaScript or Python, working with APIs and databases (SQL, NoSQL), or gluing systems together with low-code solutions.

• Practical knowledge of AI models and CRM platforms like HubSpot would be a nice addition.

• You think like an engineer - you can identify bottlenecks, test hypotheses, fix the root cause, and track performance, but also you’re able to map and rethink processes.

• You communicate excellently and have a proactive approach, while your English is at B2+ level.

• You're self-directed but collaborative, and value quick feedback loops to iterate on your work.

• You can focus on the goals the organization must achieve, not how it will achieve them.
