About the Role
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 don't 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. 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. ️ 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. • Architect's 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. What You Will Do • Embedded Discovery You will spend time "on the ground" shadowing Compliance Officers and Success Managers. You'll 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 between—just you and the problem. • Smart Integrations While you mostly build independent sidecar apps, you'll 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. You'll write the Python, Node, or TypeScript "glue" that powers sophisticated agentic workflows. ⭐ 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 it's 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 it's 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. 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, you're 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.
