Agentic Engineer

AGENTIC ENGINEER

• Rare opportunity to own the entire engineering layer of a People function — greenfield build, not ticket execution. You will design and ship real systems that eliminate meaningful operational work.
• Startup with fast progression: once People systems are built, this person could be redeployed to automate Finance, Compliance, or other business units — genuine breadth of scope.
• Longer-term possibility of building a unified internal People platform from scratch —company-wide infrastructure project.
• High autonomy, no micromanagement, trusted to own the problem end-to-end.

We're looking for a skilled Engineer to own and automate our People tech stack, from integrations to internal tools.

In this role, you'll:

• Manage and improve our HRIS, performance platforms, ATS, and payroll systems
• Build automations and workflows to reduce manual work
• Develop data pipelines for People analytics
• Create internal tools for self-service and automation
• Support onboarding, offboarding, and compliance processes

• 3-5 years of engineering experience, ideally in tech or fintech
• Strong scripting skills (Python, JavaScript/Node)
• Experience with SaaS API integrations and data pipelines
• Proven ability to ship automations and internal tooling
• Independent, communicative, and detail-oriented

• Experience with HR platforms (BambooHR, HiBob, Workday)
• Familiarity with workflow tools (Zapier, Make) and BI tools (Looker, Big Query)

Join us to build scalable, impactful solutions that empower our People team.
