## Description

We're a small, dynamic team building practical AI and automation solutions that genuinely improve how businesses operate. The company is growing quickly, and this role will sit right at the heart of that growth.

This is a hands-on delivery role. You'll design and build real systems used by real businesses - writing production-quality code, integrating complex systems, and deploying AI where it adds clear, measurable value.

There's strong potential for career progression as the business scales, with opportunities to take on more ownership, shape solutions end-to-end, and influence how we build and deliver work.

What you'll be doing

 * Implementing systems that automate and streamline how businesses operate, from initial design through to deployment
 * Writing clean, well-structured Python to power automation, backend services, and data workflows
 * Designing and building integrations between third-party systems using REST and webhook-based APIs
 * Deploying and managing cloud infrastructure on Azure (Functions, Logic Apps, storage, Cosmos DB)
 * Building AI-assisted workflows
 * Working closely with clients to understand how their processes actually work, and translating that into robust technical solutions
 * Improving and maintaining existing automations as requirements evolve
 * Documenting solutions clearly so they're easy to support and scale
