• Assist in the creation of project requirement documents by translating business needs into technical specifications and user stories.

• Analyze existing business processes to identify opportunities for AI-driven automation and efficiency gains.

• Implementation and Support:

• Support the implementation of AI-first process workflows across internal teams (e.g., Content, Operations) to maximize operational efficiency and quality.

• Act as a key resource for internal teams, providing support and training on new AI tools and automated workflows.

• Develop and maintain clear documentation for prototypes, tools, and automated processes.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience: Up to 3 years of experience in a technical or analyst role, with a focus on prototyping, process automation, or tool implementation.

• Technical Skills:

• Hands-on experience with AI/ML concepts and technologies, including GenAI, LLMs, and RAG architectures.

• Experience with no-code/low-code automation tools (e.g., n8n, Dify, cursor) and scripting/programming languages (e.g., Python, SQL) for building prototypes and utility scripts.

• Familiarity with project management and development tools (e.g., YouTrack, GitLab).

• Hybrid Abilities:

• A strong ability to bridge the gap between business and technical teams, with a knack for understanding business challenges and seeing how AI can solve them.

• A pragmatic, hands-on, and outcome-driven mindset, with a passion for building and experimenting.

• Collaboration:

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• A collaborative spirit and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
