JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a reliable AI Agent Engineer to help us set up, integrate, and maintain AI agents across our business operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who can both build the systems and explain how they work. We value honest, pleasant, easy communication as much as technical skill.

Setup
- AI agent frameworks: Hermes agent, OpenClaw, Claude AI (Claude Code / MCP)
- Browser automation: Playwright
- Integrations: email, calendar, messaging platforms (e.g. buzz.xyz), and third-party software via API

Responsibilities
- Install, configure, and maintain AI agents on our systems
- Connect agents to email, calendar, and messaging platforms
- Build API integrations between agents and our existing software
- Write and maintain custom skills/tools that extend agent capability
- Build browser automation workflows using Playwright
- Set up MCP servers and connectors where needed
- Manage API keys, authentication, and access securely
- Monitor agent performance, troubleshoot failures, and handle updates
- Document each workflow in plain language so we understand and can operate it
- Walk us through the process and train us as systems are rolled out

Technical Requirements
- Hands-on experience deploying and managing AI agents
- Familiarity with Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, or similar agent frameworks
- Strong Playwright experience (browser automation, scraping, scripted workflows)
- Solid REST API integration skills and comfort with OAuth/webhooks
- Python and/or Node.js
- Experience with email and calendar APIs (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365)
- Comfortable on Linux, command line, and basic server management
- Bonus: MCP server development, n8n/Make/Zapier, local LLM deployment

Work Environment Requirements
- Reliable high-speed internet (fiber preferred) with a documented history of stable service
- Located in an area with minimal power and internet outages
- Backup internet (mobile data/pocket WiFi) and backup power (UPS/generator) strongly preferred
- Reliable computer capable of running development tools and multiple browser sessions
- Quiet workspace suitable for video calls

Personal Qualities We're Looking For
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Pleasant, respectful, and easy to work with
- Honest — tells us when something isn't working, when a task took longer than expected, or when they don't know something. We would much rather hear the truth than a guess.
- Responsive and communicative; gives status updates without being chased
- Patient teacher — willing to explain technical things to a non-technical owner
- Dependable and able to work independently

Arrangement
- Retainer-based / long-term
- Flexible hours
- Ongoing setup, maintenance, and support as needed

When applying, please include:
1. Your AI agent and automation experience
2. Specific agents/frameworks you have deployed and what they do
3. Playwright or browser automation projects you have built
4. Integrations you have set up (email, calendar, messaging, APIs)
5. Your city/province, internet provider and speed, and how often you experience outages
6. Whether you have backup internet and backup power
7. Your monthly retainer rate
8. Availability and timezone
9. A short example of how you would explain a technical workflow to a non-technical client
