Location: Remote from Latin America

Job Overview:
Our client is a fast-growing marketing agency based in New York, specializing in performance-driven solutions for e-commerce brands and tech companies. With a team of 50 driven professionals, we combine creative excellence with data-driven strategy to help our clients grow and scale in today's competitive digital landscape.
As we continue to grow, we are investing heavily in AI-powered internal tooling to multiply team output, eliminate manual bottlenecks, and drive efficiency across every function of the business. We are building a team of builders — people who want to directly shape the direction of a company and see the immediate impact of their work.
We are seeking a hands-on AI Solutions Engineer to build AI-powered tools, agents, and internal applications that make our team faster, smarter, and more profitable. This is not a strategy or management role, it is a builder role. You will be building every day: vibe-coding software alongside our team, engineering AI-powered automations, integrating our existing tools, and shipping working products fast. You will work directly with our Head of Creative Operations and Campaign Director to turn ideas into real-world solutions that drive measurable efficiency across the organization.
If you thrive in a fast-paced agency environment, love working at the edge of AI innovation, and want to directly impact a growing company's operations and bottom line, this is your role.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and iterate AI-powered internal tools and automations that improve efficiency across creative operations, campaign management, and back-office functions
- Vibe-code software collaboratively with internal stakeholders, turning ideas and business needs into fast, functional MVPs
- Build integrations with core tools including Slack, Google Workspace, Notion, Frame.io, and digital ad platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.)
- Develop and deploy AI agents and multi-step workflows using LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) with strong prompt engineering practices
- Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and structured output pipelines for internal knowledge bases and campaign data
- Build and maintain lightweight web applications and internal dashboards to support campaign tracking, creative operations, and KPI monitoring
- Develop automation for marketing workflows including lead scoring, campaign performance monitoring, and reporting pipelines
- Create AI-powered tools to assist campaign teams with content categorization, ad copy generation, and performance analysis
- Deploy and manage cloud-based applications using AWS, GCP, or Vercel
- Work with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Supabase) to build semantic search and AI-enhanced retrieval systems
- Leverage low-code tools (Zapier, Make, Retool) where appropriate to accelerate delivery
- Design AI systems with proper permission boundaries and secure handling of sensitive client and campaign data
- Document systems, maintain internal AI playbooks, and continuously improve tooling architecture as the company scales
- Monitor system performance, troubleshoot production issues, and proactively improve reliability and user experience
- Stay current on emerging AI capabilities and proactively recommend practical implementations aligned with company growth objectives

Qualifications, Skills, and Key Competencies
- Strong proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript (Node.js)
- Proven experience building internal tools, automations, or AI-powered workflows for business operations
- Experience working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and prompt engineering
- Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations
- Ability to build and deploy web applications using Vercel, AWS, GCP, or similar platforms
- Familiarity with Supabase, Firebase, Postgres, or similar databases
- Comfortable with Git workflows (branching, pull requests, code review)
- Strong debugging skills across AI outputs and system integrations
- Fluent English communication for async collaboration with a US-based team

Preferred
- Experience building AI agents or multi-step workflows
- Familiarity with creative or marketing workflows at a digital agency
- Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Supabase)
- Knowledge of data pipelines and analytics dashboards
- Experience with low-code tools (Zapier, Make, Retool)
- Familiarity with SEO, AI search optimization, or marketing analytics

Who You Are
- You are smart, hardworking, and thrive in a startup environment where your work has direct, visible impact
- You are comfortable working in fast-moving, loosely defined problem spaces — and you prefer it that way
- You have a strong bias toward shipping and iteration over perfection
- You would rather build something rough that works today than something polished that ships next month
- You think in systems but always start with the simplest thing that could work
- You take ownership of problems end to end — from understanding the business need to deploying the solution
- You are friendly, professional, and can joke around with a team when appropriate — not a corporate robot
- You are genuinely tapped into the latest AI tools and have already used them to build real things
