About the Role

The best internal tools disappear — they just make everyone else faster. As our Tools Engineer you'll build and maintain the automations bots and AI assistants that quietly remove routine work across the company. This is a generalist fullstack-with-backend-bias role you'll touch our project-management system Slack and Telegram and a growing set of AI-powered assistants and you'll be trusted to decide how each problem should be solved. It's distinct from QA automation — your mandate is internal productivity not test infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Own internal automation for our project-management system (TargetProcess) — building custom rules workflow logic and integrations with other internal systems. Design and ship bots for Slack and Telegram that carry out real work — creating tasks delivering notifications and answering routine requests. Automate recurring operational processes — on-call/duty announcements absence notices reminders and similar workflows that would otherwise need manual attention. Build AI-powered assistants and agents that help employees get fast accurate answers and complete routine tasks. Build lightweight internal mini-projects that support company events and culture (for example a prediction/betting site for New Year). Document every solution you ship — what it does how it works and how to operate or extend it — so tools stay maintainable and don't depend on any one person. At Fundraise Up AI is a default tool not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function and grow their fluency as the tools evolve.

Nice to Have

Experience building RAG pipelines or agent-based systems You'll Thrive Here If You… You'd rather build the tool that removes the work than do the work by hand You're comfortable owning a wide shifting surface of systems with no single ""home stack"" You take documentation seriously — you write it so someone else could pick up your work tomorrow You can be handed an ambiguous ""this is annoying fix it"" problem and turn it into a shipped automation You're reliable by default — if you commit to something it happens You like the flexibility of part-time contract work but don't use it as an excuse to be hard to reach You're curious about AI tooling and treat it as a working part of your toolkit not a side experiment
