About the role
About Us
Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.
Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.
About the Role
As AI Automation Engineer, you will turn manual operations work across HR, finance, legal, sales and manufacturing into AI agents and automations running in production. You will sit next to internal users, map their painful processes and ship fast, with real users a few desks away. You will own your automations end to end and measure the time they save.
Responsibilities
- Build AI agents and automations that remove manual work across HR, finance, legal, sales and manufacturing.
- Integrate core business systems (HR, contracts, CRM, PLM, ERP) through APIs, webhooks and syncs.
- Build internal tools when nothing on the market fits the need.
- Work directly with internal users to map their processes and decide what to automate first.
- Deliver a steady flow of quick wins, shipped in days rather than months.
- Ship to production early and track the time saved by each automation.
- Own the reliability of what you ship through tests, monitoring and documentation.
- Take ownership of a business domain end to end as your scope grows.
Candidate Requirements
- 0 to 3 years of experience, with a degree from a top engineering school or an equivalent signal of excellence.
- Strong coding skills in Python and TypeScript, with a track record of fast, hands-on delivery.
- Proven record of building things on your own, such as side projects, hackathons, open source or a startup.
- Daily use of AI coding tools, with a concrete workflow you can describe.
- Curiosity about how the business works, and genuine care for the users you build for.
- Autonomy, speed and persistence in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
- Full commitment to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision and growth plans, with a willingness to go the extra mile.
We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
