Job Description

VP on Engineering Who is Automat? Automat was founded by a diverse group of creative technologists from teams like Google Creative Lab and Samsung’s innovation Think Tank Team. We envision a future where intelligent agents streamline business operations — and one day, run their own enterprises. We're redefining Enterprise AI Agents (Robotic Process Automation) and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), developing the necessary tooling and infrastructure to incorporate the advancements of AI into practical, real-world applications. We value curiosity, collaboration, and impact above rigid requirements. If you're excited about AI and automation, thrive in flexible, creative environments, and want to work on meaningful, pioneering projects—this role is for you. We encourage anyone to apply — while this is a senior position, we believe talent, passion, and your unique perspective can outweigh years of experience. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running on day one and contribute rapidly, while also being someone from whom we can learn. The Role We’re seeking a veteran engineer with management experience to work closely with our CTO. You’ll thrive at the intersection of product, engineering, and research, collaborating with engineers and end users to develop innovative tools for internal teams and external customers. You will shape technical solutions, influence strategic direction, and contribute to our culture. What You'll Do: Manage and coordinate engineering efforts across product and customer deployments. Launch and deploy real-world applications of cutting-edge AI models. Collaborate with the CEO on short- and long-term projects, resource planning, and allocation. Influence engineering practices, shape product direction, and contribute to company culture. What Drives You: You understand that enabling your team is more impactful than coding yourself. Curiosity, creativity, and a drive to learn and adapt quickly. Building full-stack applications that bring AI to life. Thriving in fast-paced, collaborative environments. What’s in Your Toolbox: Proven management experience, including leading product launches and motivating teams. Strong sprint planning skills, turning high-level goals into actionable tasks focused on delivery. Proficiency in Python and Typescript. Experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Anthropic). Familiarity with "computer-use" models (e.g., Operator, Browser Use). Experience using AI tools effectively (e.g., Cursor, Windsurf). What We Are Looking For: Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Comfort navigating ambiguity and wearing multiple hats. Passion for creating intuitive, user-friendly experiences. A proactive mindset and bias toward action. Experience in startups or high-growth environments. 3-6+ years of experience working in collaborative teams as an individual contributor. 1-2 years of management experience. #J-18808-Ljbffr Automat
