AI Automation Engineer

AI Automation Engineer

We’re working with a high-growth software business that is rethinking how a company should operate in an AI-first world.

Rather than layering AI onto existing processes, they are building a company-wide AI operating layer from the ground up, where intelligent agents execute workflows across the business and traditional tools act as an interface rather than the core system.

This is an opportunity to help design and build that from first principles, within a business operating at the intersection of real estate, investment, and data-driven decision making.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional AI, data, or engineering role.

As AI Automation Engineer you will be responsible for taking how the business operates and translating it into structured workflows, decision logic, and AI-driven systems, with a particular focus on supporting investment and asset-level decision making.

You’ll work across the entire organisation, not just one function, building systems that automate and enhance how work gets done.

What You’ll Be Doing

Break down business functions, including commercial, operational and investment processes, into workflows, decision logic, and inputs and outputs, then:

• Design and deploy LLM-powered workflows and agent-based systems
• Build automation across functions including commercial, operations, and internal processes
• Support the development of systems that underpin asset-level and portfolio-level decision making
• Connect systems and data through APIs, integrations, and workflow tooling
• Work closely with technical leadership to shape how AI is embedded across the business
• Continuously improve and refine systems based on performance and real-world usage

What We’re Looking For

2-5 years experience in building:

• Automation systems
• Workflows
• AI or LLM-based solutions

Alongside experience or exposure to:

• Real estate, PropTech, or investment environments (e.g. PE, VC, asset management)
• Working with data or systems that support financial, asset, or portfolio-level decision making

Hands-on experience with:

• LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
• APIs and integrations
• Workflow tools (e.g. n8n, Make, Zapier or similar)

Experience designing:

• Multi-step workflows
• Automation systems
• Agent-based processes

You should also have the ability to think in systems and logic, not just tools, and be comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.

Why This Role

• You’re not optimising one function, you’re helping build a new operating model for the entire business
• High ownership, working directly with senior leadership
• No legacy systems or technical debt to work around
• Opportunity to shape how AI agents are used across a real organisation, not just prototypes
• Work at the intersection of AI, real estate, and investment decision-making, with real commercial impact

If you enjoy breaking down how businesses and investment decisions work and rebuilding them using AI and automation, this is a genuinely unique opportunity.

Package and Location

Joining this high-performing, collaborative team you will receive a highly competitive basic salary of £80k–£100k plus benefits and potential for equity options.

Please note, this is a hybrid role with 1 day per week onsite in the London office (TBC - likely Holborn / Waterloo area). Sponsorship is not available for this role.
