AI Automation Engineer

About This Role QuSecure is a cybersecurity company protecting critical infrastructure, government, and enterprise networks against the quantum computing threat. We move fast, operate lean, and build for durability. We're looking for an AI Automation Engineer, a genuine software practitioner who builds systems that make the company smarter and faster. Not someone who uses AI as a shortcut. Someone who understands software deeply, designs automation with real engineering judgment, and ships things that hold up. This is not a prompt jockey seat. It's not a "I can build anything with ChatGPT" role. This is for someone who can architect an integration, leverage AI as needed, own it end-to-end, document it properly, and enable business leaders and teams without it falling apart. If your work speaks for itself, we want to meet you. What You'll OwnAutomation Systems• Design and build AI-powered automation systems that eliminate manual operational work• Take loosely defined problems from leadership and turn them into working, documentedsolutions• Build for durability from day one: repos, documentation, clear ownershipIntegrations & Data• Connect systems across our stack (HubSpot, Monday, and others) via APIs as needed• Build internal dashboards pulling from live, multi-source data• Make data trustworthy: identify unreliable metrics and fix them at the sourceProcess Infrastructure• Convert high-friction workflows into repeatable, AI-centered systems• Identify and improve fragile or undocumented V1s in the current stackCreate documentation that a non-engineer can follow and useAI-Native Development• Use Claude and AI tooling as a core building material for designing smarter systems• Bring genuine prompt engineering judgment to the work: know when AI is helping, howthe algorithms are designed, when it's hallucinating, and when to override it What We're Looking ForMust-haves:• Solid software engineering background: you write code you can explain it in plain English• Portfolio of shipped, running systems that other people actually use• Real API integration experience: auth, transforms, error handling, the whole thing• Prompt engineering in practice• Extreme attention to detail: you catch edge cases, your documentation is accurate, youroutputs don't have avoidable errors• Strong written communication: you can explain what you built to someone non-technicalwithout hand-waving• Autonomous execution: you take direction, scope the work, and ship without constantoversightNice to haves:• Experience with HubSpot, Monday.com, or similar platforms• Background in operations, marketing, or revenue tech stacks• Experience building internal tools or dashboards for non-technical users Our Bar For "Genuine Work"We will review your samples carefully. We're looking for evidence of real engineering judgment:architecture that reflects actual decisions, documentation that shows care, and systems thatweren't just generated and abandoned.What we want to see: messy problems solved cleanly, code that reflects tradeoffs,documentation you wrote because you cared about handoff, not because someone told you to. How We Hire1. Application & Work SamplesSubmit your resume and 2–3 work samples. Samples should show real systems, realdata, real architecture. Include a brief description of each.2. Written ScreeningA short async questionnaire to understand how you think, build, and solve problems.3. InterviewsMeet with hiring manager and SME.4. Take-Home AssignmentA scoped, real-world problem. Approximately 3 to 4 hours. We're evaluating your codequality, documentation, and decision-making, not speed. Submissions withoutdocumentation will not advance.Meeting to walk us through your take-home in detail: every decision, every tradeoff.We'll also go deep on a past system you built. Engagement Details• Location: Fully remote• Structure: Full-time or contract, open to the right fit• Compensation: $80-130K• Reports to Chief of Staff To ApplySend your resume and 2–3 work samples to careers@qusecure.com. In yoursubmission, briefly describe each sample: what problem it solved, what the architecturelooks like, and whether it's still running.Applications without work samples will not be reviewed. What Will Make You Stand OutThe engineering foundation is non-negotiable, but the candidates who will thrive here will bemore than coders. We seek technical operators: people who build with business outcomes inmind, communicate what they built to people who don't code, and think about the full system.You're a generalist at heart. You're comfortable in a technical conversation and a strategymeeting. You know how to explain what you built and why it matters to a non-technicalstakeholder. You're not waiting for someone to translate your work.You think in systems, not just software. You see how operations, data, people, and processconnect and you build accordingly. Before you write a line of code, you ask what problem you'reactually solving. You consider who uses the system, how
