Salary Up to £55,000-£60,000 DOE
Location Fully Remote (UK-based)
Type Full-time, Permanent
About TRAKD
TRAKD has partnered with a forward-thinking performance marketing agency pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the AI space. We've built out our own internal 'agency brain,' a self-hosted AI system running on Mac Minis via OpenClaw, pulling together data from across the entire business: Notion playbooks, Xero invoicing, Fireflies call recordings, Slack communications, and more.
They're not just an agency that talks about AI; we're actively building the infrastructure to make every team member smarter, faster, and more effective. This hire is central to that mission.
The Role
We're looking for an AI Engineer to own, maintain, and expand our agency brain. This is a rare opportunity to work directly with our founder on genuinely cutting-edge internal tooling that most agencies haven't even started thinking about, especially in the UK.
You'll be responsible for keeping existing AI workflows running reliably, building new agents and automations as ideas emerge from the team, and proactively bringing forward ideas that improve how we operate.
Key Responsibilities
Agency Brain Development & Maintenance
• Own the upkeep and reliability of our OpenClaw-based agency brain
• Ensure integrations with Notion, Xero, Fireflies, Slack, and other platforms remain stable
• Diagnose and fix workflow breakages before they impact the team
• Continuously improve data ingestion, retrieval, and output quality
AI Workflow & Agent Building
• Design and build new AI-driven workflows based on internal briefs from leadership and ops
• Build agents for use cases such as: client sentiment analysis, churn detection, revenue opportunity spotting, and creative strategy generation
• Develop automated research-to-output pipelines — e.g. pulling TikTok/Instagram creative data and generating full brand strategy documents for strategists
• Explore and implement end-to-end creative workflows (e.g. pulling performance data → analysing → generating ad variations via AI video tools)
LLM & Tooling Expertise
• Stay at the forefront of developments across LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) and agentic frameworks
• Identify cost-efficient ways to run workflows without burning unnecessary tokens or credits
• Evaluate and integrate new tools and MCP-connected services as they emerge
About You
Must-Haves
• Hands-on experience building AI workflows and automations (n8n, Make, LangChain, or similar)
• Deep familiarity with LLM APIs and prompt engineering
• Understanding of agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and vector databases
• Experience integrating third-party APIs (Slack, Notion, Xero, or similar)
• Proactive, self-starting attitude you bring ideas, not just completed tickets
Nice to Haves
• Experience with OpenClaw or similar self-hosted agent runtimes
• Familiarity with sentiment analysis and NLP-based workflows
• Background in or exposure to performance marketing or creative agencies
• Experience with web scraping and social media data pipelines
• Knowledge of cost optimisation strategies for LLM usage at scale
The Person
Years of experience matter less than mindset. We're a team that subscribes to a 1% better every day philosophy; they want someone who shares it. You'll thrive here if you:
• Keep your finger on the pulse of the AI world and get genuinely excited by new developments
• Spot opportunities to automate or improve things without being asked
• Communicate clearly and want to be part of a team, not just a coder in the corner
• Are comfortable working remotely but want to show up for team socials and culture
What's On Offer
• Salary up to £55,000-£60,000 depending on experience
• Fully remote working with flexibility
• Direct access to and collaboration with the founder
• The chance to build genuinely novel AI infrastructure this is not a maintenance role, it's a build role
• A fast-moving, ambitious team culture with regular socials
• Real scope for growth as the AI function expands
