AI & Automation Developer (n8n, Agentic AI, Chatbots)

Company: Cure Business Solutions, Inc. Location: Southeast Iowa / Burlington area Type: Part-time, approximately 40 hours per week Compensation: Based on experience

About the Role

Cure Business Solutions is a managed IT services provider serving small and mid-sized businesses and healthcare clients across southeast Iowa. We also operate a residential rental portfolio. We have a large, growing backlog of AI and automation work and we are looking for one capable person to own it.

This is hands-on build work, not a research role. You will be programming chatbots, standing up automation pipelines, wiring up agentic AI workflows, and integrating them with the systems we already run - FileMaker, Buildium, Outlook, our websites, and our phone system. The work is varied and it does not run out. Someone who does this well develops into a genuine expert in artificial intelligence, bots, and agentic systems.

What You’ll Build

• Chatbots that search our internal ticket history and answer questions from indexed documents
• Automation pipelines in n8n - lead response, work-order triage, monitoring, and notifications
• Retrieval and embedding pipelines over large datasets (our ticket history runs into the millions of records)
• Internal and customer-facing self-service tools and website FAQ bots
• Pattern-mining and troubleshooting workflows that read context and draft informed responses
• Voice automation integrated with our phone system

• Verifiable IT work experience. A prior job in information technology is required - support, programming, security, systems administration, or similar. Employment history will be verified.
• Demonstrated ability to do the work. You must be able to show us. Bring a portfolio, prior projects, or work samples, and be prepared to build during the interview. We run a practical, hands-on interview with a work sample that matches what the role actually requires. If you cannot demonstrate the work, this is not the right role.
• Ability to pass a rigorous background check. This position handles sensitive client and business data. A thorough background check is required. No felony convictions and no misdemeanor convictions, with the exception of minor traffic offenses such as speeding.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to manage your own priorities against a large queue., * Vibe Coding/Agentic
• Python
• Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, and embeddings
• Cursor

Nice to Have

• Microsoft Graph / OAuth2
• FileMaker Data API / ODBC integration
• Flutter or Laravel

Prior professional experience working in AI - a previous role building AI, machine learning, large language model, chatbot, or automation systems - is a strong plus. We weigh demonstrated ability over any single item on this list; a strong builder who is missing a tool here still worth talking to.
