We are the Enterprise Systems team at OLX, responsible for building automations and driving AI adoption across the organisation. Over the past six months we have grown from a pure automation squad into a dedicated AI & Automation team - designing agentic AI solutions, AI-infused workflows, intelligent bots, and internal apps powered by large language models. We run proof-of-concepts and proof-of-values on emerging AI tools, deliver workshops and hackathons, and partner with non-tech teams through discovery sessions to find the highest-impact opportunities for AI in their day-to-day work.

We operate by OLX's 4C values — Courage to push into new territory with AI before the playbook exists, Commitment to follow through from prototype to real impact, Collaboration across every department we serve, and a Customer-led mindset that starts with what internal teams actually need. On top of that, this team has a genuine desire to win — we move fast, set ambitious targets, and hold ourselves accountable for results.

We are looking for a Senior System Engineer who is equally comfortable building production-grade automations and enabling colleagues across the company to work smarter with AI. You will split your time between hands-on workflow development and AI evangelism - designing automated processes one day and running a workshop for the Legal or Customer Service team the next.

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys both sides: the craft of connecting systems and the satisfaction of watching a non-technical team discover what AI can do for them.

Automation & Workflow Engineering

• Design, develop, and deploy automated workflows using n8n and other low-code/no-code tools to improve operational efficiency across IT, HR, Legal, Finance, Customer Service, and other back-office functions.

• Build agentic AI solutions and AI-infused automations that go beyond simple task-to-task hand-offs — incorporating LLMs, decision logic, and intelligent routing.

• Own automation projects end-to-end: scoping, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.

• Integrate across OLX's tooling landscape — Atlassian (Jira, Confluence), Slack, Google Workspace, SAP, Coupa, and others — via RESTful APIs and JSON to create seamless cross-system workflows.

• Write, test, and debug scripts in Python or JavaScript for complex logic, data manipulation, and custom API error handling.

• Maintain and support the n8n automation platform and its surrounding infrastructure.

AI Enablement & Evangelism

• Run discovery sessions with business and back-office teams to identify tasks and processes that can be improved, accelerated, or reimagined through AI.

• Lead workshops, hackathons, and training initiatives that build AI fluency across the organisation — making these tools accessible to non-technical colleagues.

• Conduct proof-of-concepts and proof-of-values on new AI tools and SaaS products, translating findings into clear recommendations for adoption or investment.

• Create and maintain a library of prompts, playbooks, and ready-to-use AI workflows that teams can pick up and apply immediately.

• Provide hands-on consulting to teams running AI-related projects — from prototype to production.

• Evaluate emerging AI capabilities and keep the organisation informed on what matters and what doesn't.

Collaboration & Mentoring

• Mentor junior engineers and promote best practices within the team.

• Collaborate with team leadership to shape the roadmap and prioritise high-impact initiatives.

• Drive continuous improvement by identifying patterns across departments and sharing reusable solutions.

• A minimum of 5 years of professional experience across automation engineering, AI enablement, or a combination of both.

• Strong hands-on experience with n8n or a comparable low-code/no-code integration platform (Make, Zapier).

• Demonstrated proficiency with RESTful APIs and JSON for integrating SaaS applications.

• Working knowledge of foundational AI models and APIs (LLMs, generative AI) and practical experience incorporating them into business workflows.

• Practical experience with prompt engineering - you know how to get reliable, high-quality outputs from AI models.

• Ability to write, test, and debug scripts in Python or JavaScript.

• Track record of running workshops, training sessions, or hackathons - you can translate complex technology into clear, actionable guidance for non-technical audiences.

• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology or a related field is a plus, but not required.

• Courageous and proactive - you spot opportunities before anyone asks, propose bold ideas, and drive them forward independently.

• Committed and results-driven - you see things through from idea to impact and measure success by outcomes, not just deliverables shipped.

• Collaborative - you work across departments with people of varying technical backgrounds and meet them where they are.

• Customer-led - you start with what the teams you serve actually need, not with the technology you want to use.

• Desire to win - you set ambitious targets, move fast, and hold yourself accountable. Good enough isn't good enough.

• High curiosity - you stay on top of a fast-moving AI landscape and are quick to learn and evaluate new tools.

We work with a range of tools and expect you to be proficient in several of them. You don't need to know every one — but the more of this landscape you've covered, the stronger your application.
