Ai & Automation Developer

We are looking for someone who can determine whether the right solution is AI, traditional software development, workflow automation, system integration, better use of data, or simply redesigning the process. You'll work directly with directors, management, IT and operational teams to understand how work is currently performed, identify opportunities for improvement and turn those opportunities into working solutions. If you enjoy combining software development, AI, automation, data and practical problem-solving, and want to see the direct impact of what you build, we'd like to hear from you.

• Designing and building internal AI agents, applications and automations across operational and legal workflows.
• Automating repetitive activities such as document preparation, data entry, correspondence, information retrieval, status tracking, reporting and other administrative processes.
• Analysing and mapping existing business processes to identify bottlenecks, duplication, unnecessary manual effort and opportunities for automation, integration or process redesign.
• Helping prioritise automation opportunities based on business value, complexity, risk, implementation cost and expected return on investment (ROI).
• Integrating AI and automation solutions with our existing systems, including case management, client portals, document management and other line-of-business applications.
• Developing integrations using APIs, databases, webhooks and other appropriate integration methods
  .
• Building reusable frameworks, components and tools so that new automations can be developed efficiently rather than starting from scratch each time.
• Working with business data using SQL, reporting and Business Intelligence tools to identify opportunities and measure the impact of implemented solutions.
• Prototyping solutions quickly, testing them with real users and improving them based on feedback.
• Taking successful prototypes through appropriate development, testing, change control and production deployment processes

• Monitoring AI solutions for quality, accuracy, performance, reliability, security and operating cost.
• Maintaining source code, documentation and version control so that solutions can be properly supported and maintained.
• Working with management to track the actual business benefits achieved through AI and automation.
