What 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 - we think talent, passion and your unique perspective can outweigh years of experience. We are really looking for someone who can hit the ground running on day one and contribute at a rapid pace, while also being someone from whom we ourselves can learn from.
The Role
We're looking for a product minded Full Stack Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of product, engineering, and experimentation. We’re a small talented team still in the early days, and your contributions will go beyond just code. You’ll have the opportunity to actively shape technical solutions, influence product direction, and contribute meaningfully to all aspects of our engineering culture.
In this role, you'll collaborate closely with forward-deployed engineers as they support complex customer deployments, all while developing the scalable and robust foundational product which makes their work possible. You’re perfect for this role if you appreciate an elegant balance between UX excellence and infrastructural scalability.
What You'll Do:
- Collaborate with our forward deploy team to understand how customers interact with Automat’s platform today, and use those learnings to bolster our flagship workflow management product.
- Build interfaces that use cutting-edge computer use models in real world applications.
- Develop beautiful and intuitive UX interfaces which abstract away complex business automation processes and create a seamless experience for non-technical users and engineers alike
- Influence our engineering practices, shape product direction, and contribute to building a world class company culture.
What Drives You
- Curiosity, creativity, and a relentless desire to learn and adapt to changing technologies
- Building apps that bring AI to life in meaningful ways
- Working in fast-moving, collaborative teams made up of engineers with diverse backgrounds
- Excitement about the power of rapidly developing with AI tools, with a healthy skepticism for their veracity
What’s In Your Toolbox
- Hacker mindset - you know when to ship out functional v0 by any means necessary and don’t pixel peep for no reason
- Proficiency in Python and Typescript
- Experience building with modern web frameworks (Next.js, Svelte kit, React) and extensive experience working with REST APIs
- Robust background building complex architectures from the ground up, ranging from hacked together prototypes to scalable enterprise solutions.
- Experience using AI tools effectively (e.g. Cursor, Windsurf, lovable, etc.)
What we are looking for
- Top notch communication and collaboration skills
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and wearing multiple hats
- Passion for creating intuitive, user-friendly experiences
- Proactive mindset and high initiative, with a bias toward action
- An intrinsic desire to leave things better than you found them
- Experience as an IC in startups or other dynamic, high-growth setting
