About the Role
Sur La Table is seeking an AI Solutions Engineer to design, deploy, and own AI-powered automations and tooling across marketing, operations, creative, and logistics. Success in this role involves launching production automations with cross-departmental usage, reducing manual labor, and shaping the company's AI tooling strategy through sound build-vs-buy decisions. This is a lean team where you will have end-to-end responsibility and the opportunity to move fast and make impactful decisions.
Responsibilities
- Build and deploy AI tools and automations for image processing, feed optimization, content generation, reporting, document processing, and workflow streamlining.
- Automate day-to-day workflows by replacing manual, repetitive processes with reliable pipelines.
- Build MCP servers and AI-agent architectures, including reusable connectors and agent tooling for secure access to internal data, platforms, and APIs.
- Connect software systems and APIs into integrated, reusable workflows.
- Collaborate with teams to understand manual processes and build AI-powered solutions.
- Write scripts (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript) and design AI workflows using platforms like Claude and ChatGPT, alongside workflow automation tools.
- Integrate data across marketing systems, content management systems, image libraries, and internal data sources.
- Drive AI adoption through enablement sessions, training, and building internal documentation.
- Evaluate vendor AI tools, assess ROI and feasibility, and make build-vs-buy recommendations.
- Assess AI tool security and data-governance risk, flag issues, and influence remediation.
- Define reusable patterns and standards for automations and integrations.
- Prioritize the automation roadmap based on ROI.
- Own production reliability, including monitoring, error-alerting, root-cause analysis, and data-integrity fixes.
Requirements
- 2–5 years building automations, integrations, or AI-powered tools in a marketing, e-commerce, or operations environment, including shipping to production.
- Strong working knowledge of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) and the ability to design reliable, production-grade AI workflows, prompts, and agents.
- Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n preferred; Zapier, Make, or similar accepted).
- Comfortable writing Python and JavaScript/TypeScript to connect APIs, process data, and build lightweight applications and integrations.
- Familiarity with building MCP servers or AI-agent architectures (or comparable connector/tooling development).
- Sound judgment on AI tool security and data privacy, with the ability to assess risk in tools handling sensitive data.
- Ability to evaluate options and make recommendations that influence org-level tooling decisions.
