## Job Description

## What you’ll do
- Design, build, and maintain AI-powered workflows, automations, apps, and agents (Claude, Claude Code, Dust, Zapier) that eliminate manual lift across Recruiting and People operations.
- Own Dust agent architecture for the People team: build and maintain agents, skills, and connectors that support recruiters, coordinators, hiring managers, and People partners.
- Take team-generated concepts and one-off ideas and turn them into durable, documented, adopted production workflows.
- Build and maintain automation across the recruiting funnel, sourcing outreach, interview scheduling and coordination, candidate communication, and offer-to-hire handoffs.
- Serve as a technical build partner for Ashby-driven workflows, treating the ATS as a primary automation surface alongside Dust and Claude.
- Proactively identify automation opportunities across People processes and prototype solutions fast, from AI-powered reporting pipelines to candidate communication workflows.
- Partner with People Systems on automations that touch system architecture or data structure.
- Partner with People Operations on workflow automations that support their process execution.
- Partner with broader Recruiting & People Operations teams to structure and maintain the knowledge base (Confluence/Guru) that powers AI agents and automations.
- Evaluate, pilot, and implement new AI and workflow tools as the market evolves, with a bias toward tools that meaningfully reduce manual effort.
- Establish clear operating patterns for how automations and agents are launched, documented, and maintained over time.
- Contribute to team AI fluency by sharing what you're building and what's working.
- Build lightweight technical solutions using workflow builders, scripts, and integrations across our recruiting and People tool stack (Ashby, TeamOhana, Juicebox, LinkedIn, Zapier, Checkr, Jira, HiBob, Workday).

## How to be successful in this role
- Hands-on experience building AI workflows, automations, or agents in a business operations context; you've shipped things, not just prompted things.
- Experience with Claude Code or similar AI builder/operator environments, beyond AI-assisted writing or research.
- Proven ability to translate messy, manual business processes into scalable, adopted workflows or internal tools.
- Technical builder instincts in an operations environment; comfortable shipping without a full engineering team behind you.
- Experience working inside Recruiting/Talent, People, HR, or Recruiting functions with non-technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with ATS-driven workflows (Ashby or similar) is a strong plus.
- Sound judgment on when AI is the right tool versus standard automation, scripts, or process redesign.
- Track record of driving adoption of what you build — not just shipping it, but ensuring it sticks.
- Comfortable with ambiguity; this role shapes its own playbook and creates new patterns as the function evolves.
- Analytical or data science background is a plus.
- Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
