Every Friday afternoon, two people on our operations team manually copy data between our project management tool, our CRM, and our invoicing platform. It takes three hours. It is error-prone. Everyone knows it should be automated. Nobody has had the time to do it. We are hiring a junior automation developer — not to fix just this problem, but to help us build the habit of not doing things manually when a workflow can do it instead. You'll start small, learn on real problems, and have a senior developer reviewing and pairing with you on every project.
Responsibilities
Build and test workflow automations connecting our business tools
Document each automation with a diagram and step-by-step description
Identify manual processes in other teams that could be automated
Maintain existing automations and fix them when integrations break
Work closely with a senior developer in weekly pair-programming sessions
Requirements
Some practical experience with an automation tool — Zapier, Make.com, n8n, or Python scripts
Comfortable reading API documentation and understanding webhook events
Patient and systematic — good at debugging a flow that almost works
Able to explain what an automation does in plain English
Bonus: any experience with HubSpot, Airtable, or similar business tools
