AI & Automation Systems Architect

Deer Designer is a subscription-based design service just like Netflix, but for design tasks. We're scaling fast, and we’re obsessed with making everything smoother, faster, and smarter. That’s where you come in.

About the Role

We’re looking for a systems thinker who eats inefficiency for breakfast. Your job will be to analyze our existing processes across HR, Sales, Customer Support, Content, and Production, and automate the heck out of everything that doesn’t need a human touch.

You’ll wield tools like N8N, GPT/LLM APIs, and agentic workflows to build a lean, mean, AI-powered ops machine.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Audit and map out all manual or inefficient workflows across the company
• Build AI and automation systems to replace/assist in:

• HR: resume filtering, candidate scoring, onboarding, etc.
• Sales: outreach, lead tracking, appointment booking
• Customer service: AI chat support, ticket triage, knowledge base creation
• Production: AI-enhanced brief parsing, task creation, design assistant tools

• Content: full AI content engine for blogs, emails, and social

• Integrate systems across tools like Freshdesk, Slack, Notion, WordPress, Google Workspace, Stripe, etc.
• Create SOPs and documentation so the team can use/maintain what you build
• Stay on top of bleeding-edge AI/automation tech and bring new ideas to the table

What You Should Have

• 3+ years building automation systems with Zapier, Make, or N8N (preferred)
• Hands-on experience working with OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek or similar LLMs via API
• Deep understanding of prompt engineering, agents, vector databases, etc.
• Proven experience creating internal tools that save people time
• Systems thinking mindset: you see inputs, outputs, and leverage points
• Good communication skills—especially when explaining what the heck your AI stack is doing
• Bonus: experience with Python/Node.js, if you need to build custom integrations

Traits We Love

• Ruthlessly efficient: you hate repetition
• Proactive: you don’t wait to be told what to automate, you hunt it down
• Creative: you can connect random tools like a mad scientist with a purpose
• Results-driven: you measure success in hours saved, leads generated, errors prevented
• Startup-minded: you’re not here to play corporate, you're here to build

Benefits

• Location: Home-based - Permanent work from home, co-working space, beach, wherever you'd like as long as you have a laptop and good internet connection.
• Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8h/day
• Paid Time-Off: 15 days of paid leave + 10 unpaid days + 2 sick days paid (after 6 months of tenure).
• Bonuses: Christmas bonus, performance-based increase/bonus, and career progression.
• Health Benefit after 6 months of tenure
• Perks: Work anniversary gifts plus additional paid leaves
