Role Mission

Build, maintain, and scale reliable automations and AI-powered workflows that streamline operations across Prop Firm Match. This role turns ideas into production-grade systems using n8n, Python/TS, and API integrations, ensuring high reliability, observability, and measurable business impact.

Requirements

Top 6 Performance Objectives

Outcome: At least 3 production workflows live within 90 days, saving time or reducing errors by measurable %.

  • Deliver high-impact automations for core workflows (first 60-90 days; ongoing)
  • Take 3-5 priority processes from scoping to production automation (Ops, Growth, Content, CS, Risk).
  • Build using n8n + Python/TS logic modules.
  • Deliver MVP versions fast, iterate based on feedback

Outcome: All new workflows are understandable, reusable, and extendable by peers within 20-30 minutes.

  • Build robust, modular, and well-architected workflows (ongoing)
  • Translate business rules into modular, reusable workflow components with a clear separation of concerns
  • Implement retries, structured error handling, alerting, and idempotency across all critical workflow paths

Outcome: Integrations run with > 99% uptime and zero silent failures.

  • Own API integrations end-to-end (first 90-120 days; ongoing)
  • Build and maintain integrations with internal and external APIs (REST/GraphQL/OAuth/webhooks).
  • Handle dynamic data structures, pagination, rate limits, and authentication refresh.
  • Monitor upstream failures and design fallback strategies

Outcome: Issues are detected early - no black-box workflows.

  • Implement observability & monitoring for all automations (first 120 days)
  • Set standards for logging, structured error messages, and monitoring.
  • Build basic dashboards or alerting (Slack alerts, logs dashboards, error queues)

Outcome: Anyone can understand the system state within 15 minutes.

  • Maintain documentation, run books, and clear SOPs (ongoing)
  • Document workflows: purpose, logic, variables, failure modes, key integration points.
  • Create simple run books for non-technical stakeholders to triage basic failures

Outcome: Automations delivered match business outcomes, not just technical specs.

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to refine requirements (ongoing)
  • Participate in discovery to clarify vague automation ideas ("we need to automate X") into clear specifications.
  • Suggest pragmatic approaches that maximize ROI and reduce complexity.
  • Provide continuous feedback to improve architectural standards

Must-Have Qualifications

Candidates must demonstrate real accomplishments in:

  • Automation & Workflow Engineering: Built production-grade automations in n8n or similar tools (Make, Zapier, Tray.io, Airflow, Prefect). Experience structuring workflows into reusable components
  • API Integration: Built reliable API integrations with advanced requirements (pagination, auth refresh, rate limits, error fallback)
  • Software Engineering Foundation: Strong hands-on experience with Python or TypeScript (ideally both) Experience with CI/CD, Git workflows, debugging, testing
  • Reliability & Observability: Implemented logs, alerts, dashboards, or monitoring systems
  • Ownership Mindset: Successfully took projects from vague idea → spec → implementation → production support

Soft Skills / On-the-Job Behaviors

  • Quietly reliable — things you build "just work" consistently.
  • Systems thinker: sees cause-effect chains, avoids messy hacks.
  • Clear written communicator (async-friendly).
  • Pragmatic and fast — focuses on ROI, not over-engineering.
  • Comfortable pushing back when requirements are unclear or suboptimal.
