AI Automation Engineer (Remote, Alajuela)

About the role

Blacksmith Agency is adding an AI automation layer to its way of working. As AI Automation Engineer, you own and ship the internal automation roadmap. This is a builder role, not a research role: you will build production systems on top of existing models, working directly with engineering and delivery leadership to turn documented automation workflows into shipped systems. The position is remote and open to Latin America and South Africa.

Key responsibilities

• Build agentic workflows using LangChain, LangGraph or equivalent frameworks.
• Integrate with Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, including tool use and function calling.
• Develop internal tools that cut manual hours across the design and development production process.
• Set up automation pipelines connecting WordPress, Figma, Google Workspace and the internal CMS.
• Implement MCP server integrations as part of the broader AI stack.

Required profile

• 2+ years building production software with Python or Node.js.
• Hands-on experience with LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen or similar agent frameworks.
• Proven API integration work with OpenAI or Anthropic (function calling, tool use, streaming).
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, webhooks and basic cloud deployment.
• English sufficient for async written work with a US-based team.
