Blacksmith Agency | Full-Time Contract | Remote
ABOUT BLACKSMITH AGENCY
Blacksmith Agency (BSA) is a fully remote Word Press design and development agency of ~40 people headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. We build high-performance websites for growth-focused companies across the US. We’re not a typical agency. We run a sales engine, a production system and a growing AI automation layer that we’re building into every part of how we work.
This role is a direct investment in that automation layer.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring an AI Engineer to own and ship our internal automation roadmap. This is a builder role, not a research role. You will not be training models. You will be building production systems on top of them.
You’ll work directly with our engineering and delivery leadership to take a well-documented roadmap of automation workflows (AI-assisted Word Press development, content generation, agentic pipelines) and turn them into shipped, working systems.
This role is for someone who has already built things with LLMs and can show it.
WHAT YOU’LL BUILD
Agentic workflows using Lang Chain, Lang Graph or equivalent frameworks
Integrations with Anthropic and OpenAI APIs including tool use and function calling
Internal tools that reduce manual hours across our design and development production process
Automation pipelines that connect Word Press, Figma, Google Workspace and our internal CMS/component library
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integrations as part of our broader AI stack
WHAT WE NEED
Required:
2+ years building production software with Python or Node.js
Hands-on experience with Lang Chain, Lang Graph, CrewAI, Auto Gen or similar agent frameworks
Proven API integration work with OpenAI or Anthropic (function calling, tool use, streaming)
Strong understanding of REST APIs, webhooks and basic cloud deployment
Solid version control habits
English proficiency sufficient for async written communication with a US-based team
Strong bonus:
Word Press or PHP experience
Familiarity with Figma APIs or design tooling
Google Apps Script or Workspace automation experience
Background in web production, digital agencies or similar environments
Experience with n8n, Make or similar workflow automation platforms
WHAT WE DON’T NEED
A degree from a specific school
Experience at a well-known tech company
A polished resume full of buzzwords
We care about what you’ve built and whether it works.
HOW WE WORK
Fully remote, async-first
Phoenix, AZ timezone preferred but not required (MST, UTC-7) or East Coast Hours
Contract engagement to start, with conversion path based on performance
Direct access to leadership, no bureaucracy, fast feedback loops
