[Hiring] Senior Automation Specialist @tem

Role Description

We're hiring a Senior Automation Specialist to automate the operational work that runs tem, the work that sits outside Product and Engineering.

You'll partner directly with our Engine Leads to find manual processes and replace them with automation that holds up. This is hands-on and AI-first. You'll build agents, reasoning layers, and integrations using coding agents like Claude and Codex alongside n8n, and you'll ship them inside tem's own stack (GitHub, AWS, S3, TypeScript), so they last, rather than becoming next quarter's clean-up job.

You'll report to the Engine Ops Lead.

• Design and maintain the reasoning layer for our operational engines: workflows that route and action tasks on business logic, not just move data between systems.
• Translate manual processes into automation with our Engine Leads, iterating fast on real operational feedback.
• Build agents with Claude, Codex, or equivalent, backed by evals and manual QA, shipped through tem's own GitHub and AWS stack rather than new vendor tools.
• Own delivery end to end, from discovery through to production, monitoring, and iteration, measuring yourself on hours reclaimed.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in automation roles, with a real portfolio of hours reclaimed: specific, provable examples of code replacing manual work, not just prototypes.
• Comfort in the messy middle of API integration, connecting systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
• Deep experience with low-code automation platforms (n8n or equivalent), and hands-on experience building agents with Claude, Codex, or similar tooling as part of a real logic flow, not just prompting a chatbot.
• A systems thinker who can map a messy human process into clean architecture, and ship it inside an engineering stack.
• A real testing habit (evals plus manual QA), paired with a bias for shipping a great automation today over a perfect one next month.
• Comfort partnering directly with non-technical domain experts and turning their process knowledge into working automation.

Requirements

• Experience in high-growth startups or operations-heavy environments (fintech, energy, logistics, e-commerce).
• A background in data engineering or business intelligence.
• Active in the AI tooling landscape, and quick to bring what you find back to the team.

Benefits

• Salary aligned to internal benchmarks and reviewed twice a year.
• Stock options, so everyone shares in the mission.
• 25 days' holiday plus public holidays. Swap public holidays for the ones that matter most to you, and take your birthday off.
• Remote-first, flexible working, with clear core hours and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.
• A remote-setup budget of up to £1,200 / €1,200 a year.
• A wellbeing budget of up to £150 / €150 a month.

Interview Process

• Intro call with Talent, 30 minutes.
• Hiring Manager interview, 60 minutes.
• Skills interview with cross-functional leaders, 60 to 90 minutes, including a practical exercise.
• Culture Add interview with leadership, 45 minutes.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, including those that are traditionally underrepresented in the tech and energy sectors. If you’re excited about this role but not sure you meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you. Your unique perspective could be exactly what we’re looking for.
