Generative AI Engineer

We’re looking for an AI Engineer to own, maintain, and expand our agency brain. This is a rare opportunity to work directly with our founder on genuinely cutting-edge internal tooling that most agencies haven’t even started thinking about, especially in the UK.

You’ll be responsible for keeping existing AI workflows running reliably, building new agents and automations as ideas emerge from the team, and proactively bringing forward ideas that improve how we operate.

Key Responsibilities

Agency Brain Development & Maintenance

Own the upkeep and reliability of our OpenClaw-based agency brain

Ensure integrations with Notion, Xero, Fireflies, Slack, and other platforms remain stable

Diagnose and fix workflow breakages before they impact the team

Continuously improve data ingestion, retrieval, and output quality

AI Workflow & Agent Building

Design and build new AI-driven workflows based on internal briefs from leadership and ops

Build agents for use cases such as: client sentiment analysis, churn detection, revenue opportunity spotting, and creative strategy generation

Develop automated research-to-output pipelines - e.g. pulling TikTok/Instagram creative data and generating full brand strategy documents for strategists

Explore and implement end-to-end creative workflows (e.g. pulling performance data analysing generating ad variations via AI video tools)

LLM & Tooling Expertise

Stay at the forefront of developments across LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) and agentic frameworks

Identify cost-efficient ways to run workflows without burning unnecessary tokens or credits

Evaluate and integrate new tools and MCP-connected services as they emerge

Must-Haves

Hands-on experience building AI workflows and automations (n8n, Make, LangChain, or similar)

Deep familiarity with LLM APIs and prompt engineering

Understanding of agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and vector databases

Experience integrating third-party APIs (Slack, Notion, Xero, or similar)

Proactive, self-starting attitude you bring ideas, not just completed tickets

Nice to Haves

Experience with OpenClaw or similar self-hosted agent runtimes

Familiarity with sentiment analysis and NLP-based workflows

Background in or exposure to performance marketing or creative agencies

Experience with web scraping and social media data pipelines

Knowledge of cost optimisation strategies for LLM usage at scale

The Person

Years of experience matter less than mindset. We’re a team that subscribes to a 1% better every day philosophy; they want someone who shares it. You’ll thrive here if you:

Keep your finger on the pulse of the AI world and get genuinely excited by new developments

Spot opportunities to automate or improve things without being asked

Communicate clearly and want to be part of a team, not just a coder in the corner

Are comfortable working remotely but want to show up for team socials and culture

Salary up to £55,000-£60,000 depending on experience

Fully remote working with flexibility

Direct access to and collaboration with the founder

The chance to build genuinely novel AI infrastructure this is not a maintenance role, it’s a build role

A fast-moving, ambitious team culture with regular socials

Real scope for growth as the AI function expands

TRAKD has partnered with a forward-thinking performance marketing agency pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the AI space. We’ve built out our own internal ‘agency brain,’ a self-hosted AI system running on Mac Minis via OpenClaw, pulling together data from across the entire business: Notion playbooks, Xero invoicing, Fireflies call recordings, Slack communications, and more.
