About this role
Engineers who love building, experimenting, and finding ways to make work dramatically more efficient will thrive in this position. Deepgram is building the next generation of People Operations and needs someone to partner with the Head of People to design and build AI-powered workflows that fundamentally change how the department operates. This role exists to transform manual, repetitive, high-friction processes into intelligent workflows using automation, APIs, internal tools, and agents instead of maintaining traditional HR systems.
Team members collaborate across People, Engineering, and IT to build secure, scalable solutions that enable employees and managers to complete workflows without manual intervention. Success requires an AI-first mindset, comfort with rapid change, and the ability to prototype quickly, test with users, and iterate. Candidates must be ready to build AI agents and internal interfaces that streamline operations and measure real time savings.
What you will do
- Partner directly with the People and Talent Team to identify high-impact opportunities for AI and automation across operations.
- Design and build a scalable, AI-first onboarding experience that maintains up-to-date and exceptional support.
- Develop AI agents and workflows capable of answering questions, gathering information, and completing defined actions.
- Integrate artificial intelligence systems with existing tools such as HRIS, Slack, recruiting, and compensation software.
- Construct internal tools and interfaces that simplify department processes for employees, managers, and staff.
- Establish appropriate human-in-the-loop controls, escalation paths, and security safeguards for sensitive workflows.
- Collaborate with Engineering and IT on architecture, access controls, and productionizing successful prototypes.
What you need
- Bring early-career engineering experience to partner closely with leadership on automation initiatives.
- Possess an AI-first mindset with active use and comfort applying advanced tools to daily work.
- Demonstrate the ability to rapidly prototype, test with real users, and iterate based on outcomes.
- Show capability in building workflows, APIs, internal tools, and agents to eliminate manual tasks.
