2. Automation & Integration Workflows: Design, build, and maintain workflow automations using N8N to connect AI models, APIs, and enterprise systems (e.g., Salesforce, Snowflake, G-Drive). Optimize process automation and ensure reliability, scalability, and error handling across integrations.

3. AI Application Development: Analyze data and develop bespoke AI applications that enhance decision-making and automate complex business processes using OpenAI APIs and other model frameworks.

4. Optimization & Governance: Continuously monitor performance, implement optimizations, and ensure AI models remain accurate, compliant, and efficient in production.

5. Collaboration: Partner effectively with cross-functional teams and contribute to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Qualifications for Success

1. Applied Natural Language Processing (NLP): Practical experience using language models for tasks such as summarization, information extraction, and data enrichment within automated workflows.

2. Technical Proficiency in AI Systems & Automation: Strong understanding of AI concepts, APIs, and orchestration tools to integrate models and automate processes—experience connecting AI capabilities to real-world business applications using platforms like N8N or similar.

3. N8N Expertise: Proven experience in building and managing workflow automations in N8N, including API integrations, webhook configurations, and error-handling logic to orchestrate multi-system data flows.

4. LLM Integration Experience: Demonstrated ability to integrate and deploy large language models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) into production environments to power intelligent workflows.

5. Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python and experience with AI libraries and frameworks.

6. Prompt Engineering Skills: Creative and analytical approach to crafting, testing, and refining prompts for optimal model performance and accuracy within automations.

7. Domain Knowledge: Understanding of financial data, company performance and research processes to support AI-driven initiatives across M&A and BD workflows.

8. Analytical Skills: Ability to evaluate AI outputs and feedback to iteratively improve automation quality and performance.

9. Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration and clear documentation.

10. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field preferred; experience with financial or M&A data is an asset.
