Mission of the role
As an AI Solutions Engineer, you will be one of Sleek's most senior individual contributors, responsible for turning AI and automation opportunities into deployed, measurable business capabilities across our Accounting, Corporate Secretarial, Compliance, Sales, Marketing, HR and Finance teams.
This is a highly hands-on role. You will take ambiguous, manual business processes from discovery and specification through coding, deployment, monitoring, support and eventual handover to the business team.
You will work closely with non-technical subject-matter experts and senior leadership to identify high-value opportunities, build practical AI solutions, and prove that they deliver measurable business value.
The role requires someone who is equally comfortable writing production code, talking to a business stakeholder, challenging assumptions, and demonstrating why an automation is worth building.
You will also take ownership of existing automations and be expected to independently diagnose and resolve technical issues rather than relying on external technical support.
Key outcomes in the first 6–12 months
Lead and deliver at least 3 end-to-end business automations within the first 6 months, taking each initiative from identifying the problem through discovery, specification, development, deployment and production support.
Build against real business systems and data, including LLM APIs and SDKs, databases and warehouses, accounting APIs, Slack, document-generation workflows and scheduled jobs.
Take ownership of stabilising and improving existing automations where required, ensuring they are reliable, maintainable and supported by Sleek-owned infrastructure.
Target SGD $100,000+ in annualized value across 12 months, setting clear baselines and ROI metrics before building.
Measure success holistically through cost savings, capacity released, faster turnarounds, error reduction, or revenue enablement.
Track usage, costs, and adoption from day one, regularly auditing the portfolio to scale winning solutions or stop low-impact builds.
Design low-code/config-driven interfaces that allow non-technical teams to safely operate and update daily workflows.
Provide documentation, safeguards, and power-user training for daily ops, keeping core code and infrastructure maintained under technical scope.
Build on Sleek-owned credentials with documented fallbacks, clear rollback procedures, and no reliance on personal accounts or single-point failures.
Build strong relationships with stakeholders across Accounting, Corporate Secretarial, Compliance, Sales, Marketing, HR and Finance across Sleek's four markets.
Independently conduct discovery with subject-matter experts, turn ambiguous requirements into practical specifications and challenge assumptions using actual business volumes and data.
Identify opportunities proactively rather than waiting for fully defined projects, and communicate technical concepts and solutions clearly to non-technical colleagues and senior leadership.
Must-have experience
Must-have attributes
Ownership & Accountability: Takes full responsibility for outcomes and sees problems through to resolution. Comfortable owning a system from idea to production rather than waiting for someone else to define the next step.
Initiative & Bias for Action: A proactive self-starter who actively looks for problems worth solving and prefers to ship, learn and iterate rather than over-engineer.
Strong Communication: Personable and confident when working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Able to extract requirements from busy subject-matter experts and communicate technical concepts in plain language.
Commercial Mindset: Thinks beyond whether something can be built and asks whether it should be built. Comfortable defending an ROI case and stopping projects when the expected value is not materialising.
Curiosity & AI Enthusiasm: A genuine self-learner who actively experiments with new AI technologies and applies them to practical problems.
Structured Thinking: Able to take ambiguous problems, break them down into manageable components, establish priorities and make pragmatic decisions.
Humility: Open to feedback, willing to acknowledge knowledge gaps and comfortable learning from subject-matter experts across the business.
Resilience: Comfortable troubleshooting problems independently and working through technical or business obstacles without becoming blocked.
Nice-to-have experience
Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek And We will be looking for candidates who have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles:
Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.
Humility: There is so much we don't know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you're more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.
Attention to detail: AI systems and automations need to work reliably with real business data. You'll need to identify gaps, edge cases, errors and failure modes before they create problems for users.
Excellent listener and clear communicator: We have a variety of nationalities and for many people, English isn't their first language. For you to excel, you'll need to be present in your conversations, extract what stakeholders actually need and communicate solutions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
Initiative: We are looking for someone who actively identifies opportunities rather than waiting for a fully defined project. You should be comfortable approaching a business team, understanding their problems and proposing a practical solution.
