About the Role
Automation, Integrations, Agents, Platform, Retrieval & AI UX
As part of our Efficiency team, you will upskill and uplift every role with AI‑powered tools - automating workflows and building
secure, reliable assistants, agents, and role “digital twins.” Just like broader Payhawk we obsess over customer success, our
customers are every Hawk and every Payhawk customer, and we measure impact by adoption, task success, and time saved. We design
human‑centered AI and manage risk responsibly.
You’re a product‑minded software engineer who designs and ships end‑to‑end AI solutions: chat UIs, APIs, orchestration, data
pipelines, retrieval, evals, and guardrails. You love jumping between frontend, backend, prompts, schemas, observability, and
Kubernetes to deliver measurable time savings for Hawks.
Rigorous studies show AI assistance can raise knowledge‑worker productivity, especially for less‑experienced workers - so we
measure against hours saved and task success from day one.
