[Hiring] Automation Engineer @Real

Role Description

We’re looking for someone who can help us work smarter, by connecting systems, simplifying processes, and automating the busywork that slows great teams down. As our Automation Engineer, you’ll work across marketing, analytics, and creative operations to improve how we work. You’ll identify inefficiencies, build integrations, and bring automation into daily processes—helping our team stay focused on high-impact work.

What You’ll Do:

• Map and Improve Processes
  • Collaborate with teams to understand current workflows and identify areas where automation can save time or improve consistency.
• Build and Maintain Automations
  • Use tools like n8n, Zapier, or Make to build integrations across platforms, and support more advanced needs with lightweight scripts or API calls.
• Connect Data and Tools
  • Help structure and move data between platforms like Google AppSheet, Airtable, or internal dashboards, ensuring reporting and operations remain clean and up to date.
• Explore AI Integration
  • Use tools like OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini to support use cases such as content generation, reporting, QA, and internal tooling.
  • Design and implement scalable AI-powered workflows, including RAG pipelines and agent-based systems where applicable.
• Support Adoption and Training
  • Document your work clearly and help team members effectively use the tools you create.

Qualifications

• Hands-on familiarity with Zapier, n8n, or similar automation tools
• Strong scripting skills in Python or JavaScript, with the ability to build and troubleshoot independently
• Comfortable working with APIs and confidently connecting platforms end-to-end
• Experience with version control systems such as GitHub
• Strong understanding of system design and scalable architectures
• Ability to operate autonomously, manage tasks end-to-end, and deliver with minimal guidance
• Highly organized and process-driven, with clear written and verbal communication
• Proactive problem-solver who identifies gaps and drives solutions without needing direction

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience working with automation, technical operations, or digital tools
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (or equivalent practical experience)
• Exposure to Google Analytics (GA4) or Google Ads
• Experience with SQL or BigQuery
• Experience with BI tools like Looker Studio or Tableau
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS or GCP)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and monitoring tools (e.g., DataDog) is a plus
