AI Automation & Growth Analyst

Senior Manager, Data Analytics & Automation

Strategy, Integration and Operations

Los Angeles

The AI Automation & Growth Analyst is the technical engine behind our team's ability to scale. You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of automation solutions—from identifying bottlenecks in manual workflows to designing and deploying robust, code-based solutions.

In this role, you will move beyond simple prompting; you will use Python or JavaScript, SQL, and LLM APIs to build intelligent pipelines that streamline complex workflows. Your primary objective is to enhance data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency by treating automation as a software engineering discipline.

• Engineer Robust Automations:
  Design and script automated workflows using Python or JavaScript to replace manual, data-intensive tasks across our departments.
• Build AI-Integrated Data Pipelines:
  Write complex SQL queries to extract and transform data, then integrate that data with Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate automated outputs.
• Develop Intelligent Applications:
  Engage in the full development lifecycle to build internal tools and agents using custom logic and direct API integrations.
• Maintain Engineering Standards:
  Utilize Git for version control, conducting code reviews, and ensuring all automation scripts are documented, tested, and reliable.
• Drive Rapid Prototyping:
  Utilize AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Windsurf) to accelerate the creation of business-focused applications while maintaining clean code architecture.
• Analyze & Optimize Processes:
  Create process maps to deconstruct current business operations, identifying specific nodes where AI agents or scripts can improve speed and accuracy.
• Full-Stack Contribution:
  Contribute to backend logic (API integrations, database management) and simple user-facing interfaces to make your tools accessible to non-technical colleagues.
• Develop Deep Expertise in Applied AI:
  Grow into a subject-matter expert by researching, experimenting with, and applying emerging AI technologies to practical business use cases.
• Collaborate to Drive Innovation:
  Work in a tight-knit team and partner with business stakeholders to champion new ideas, ensure smooth project execution, and encourage the adoption of new technologies.
• Learn and grow:
  Actively participate in training and development opportunities to enhance skills in AI, automation technologies, and process improvement methodologies.

We are looking for an early career-level AI Analyst with an obsessive drive for learning and staying at the forefront of AI and automation advancements. With a background in software engineering (or related), the ideal candidate will be deeply passionate about exploring the latest technologies and immersing themselves in this rapidly evolving field. A keen interest in AI trends and a proactive approach to discovering new tools and solutions will be essential.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on continuous learning and staying ahead of emerging technologies in AI.

• Strong Scripting Skills (Python or JavaScript):
  You have strong hands‑on experience using Python or JavaScript/Type Script for data manipulation, API interaction, and process automation. You prefer writing a script to doing a task manually twice.
• Data & SQL Fluency:
  You are comfortable writing SQL queries to pull, clean, and structure data from relational databases. You understand how to prepare data for AI context windows.
• Version Control (Git):
  You understand the importance of source control. You are familiar with branching, merging, and pull requests to maintain a…
