Junior AI Process Exception Pattern Analyst

Mason Oliveira

Contract · Job · Chicago

About the role

Process automation platforms generate exception logs: the cases where the automated workflow couldn't complete and a human had to intervene. Those logs are gold — they tell you exactly where automations are failing and why. Most clients never analyze them systematically, which means they keep manually handling the same exception categories week after week instead of fixing the underlying process. This is a 6-month contract to build the exception pattern analysis capability for our process automation platform. You'll build the ETL pipelines that aggregate exception logs from across our client workflows, implement clustering logic that groups similar exceptions into actionable categories, and create the reports that process engineers use to prioritize which exception types to address in the next automation improvement cycle. Senior engineers will guide the analytical approach. Your job is to build reliable data infrastructure and clear output — the kind of analysis that makes a process owner say 'I didn't realize this exception was happening 400 times a week.' If you're a junior developer who wants to work on real automation platform data and see your work drive concrete process improvements, this scope is achievable and the impact is visible.
