Strategy & Ops Engineer - Remote at Happyrobot.Ai

About the Role

We're looking for a Strategy & Ops Engineer remote to join our innovative team at Happyrobot.Ai. This position is critical as it focuses on systematically eliminating manual work across the company by designing, building, and owning internal systems and automations. As a Strategy & Ops Engineer remote, you will work at the intersection of engineering and business operations, creating durable leverage to replace ad hoc processes with scalable, technical solutions.

What You'll Do

• Identify manual, repetitive, and error-prone operational workflows across the company.
• Design and build internal tools, automations, and lightweight services to replace manual processes.
• Integrate systems across finance, sales, procurement, legal, and customer support.
• Write production-quality scripts, services, or automations (APIs, cron jobs, data pipelines, internal dashboards).
• Own operational systems from design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Analyze operational data to prioritize high-leverage improvements and measure impact.
• Reduce dependency on administrative headcount through automation and system design.
• Improve go-to-market operations by building better tooling between sales, finance, and legal.
• Support contract management and procurement through structured, automated workflows.
• Ensure data accuracy, reliability, and observability across operational systems.
• Execute ambiguous, high-impact operational projects with minimal guidance.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and comfort shipping real systems.
• Experience building automations or internal tools using Python, SQL, APIs, and/or scripting languages.
• Ability to reason about systems, edge cases, failure modes, and long-term maintainability.
• Strong business intuition—understanding how operational systems affect cost, speed, and scale.
• Extreme ownership: you find problems, design solutions, and ship without being asked.
• High agency, urgency, and comfort operating in ambiguity.
• Clear written and verbal communication.

Nice to Have

• Experience in AI or automation technologies.
• Familiarity with project management tools.
• Knowledge of operational metrics and KPIs.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work at a high-growth AI startup, backed by top investors.
• Ownership & Autonomy – Take full ownership of projects and ship fast.
• Top-Tier Compensation – Competitive salary + equity in a high-growth startup.
• Work With the Best – Join a world-class team of engineers and builders.
• Flexible remote work environment.
