Junior AI Automation Developer
About the role
Hybrid role, 1 day per week in our downtown office. Only candidates located in the Lower Mainland will be considered.
This is a new, dedicated position created to address Traction Complete's growing backlog of internal automation projects. This role focuses exclusively on building AI-powered tools and automations for internal teams. The Junior AI Automation Developer will report directly to the CTO.
You'll work across every department — marketing, customer success, product, sales, etc. — to discover pain points, gather requirements, and build solutions that make teams more effective. Think of it as running your own internal product shop: you'll prioritize projects by ROI, manage stakeholder expectations, and ship working applications.
This is fully AI-driven development. You won't spend time coding manually; you'll prompt AI systems, orchestrate agents, and use tools like Claude, Cursor, and Playwright to build, test, and ship at a pace that would normally require a much larger team. You'll need the technical understanding to review and correct AI-generated code, but the emphasis is on directing AI rather than writing every line yourself.
This is a standalone role. You'll operate as a one-person team, owning projects end-to-end from discovery through delivery, with support from department heads and the IT team for security reviews.
