Full Job Description
Who This Role Is NOT For

This role is not for someone who only “clicks buttons” in automation tools or follows step-by-step instructions. This is a deeply technical, hands-on engineering role.

But if you love designing complex workflows, solving tough automation challenges, mentoring junior developers, and integrating AI agents into real business processes—you’ll thrive here.

Who We Are

The Systems Boss is an operations agency that helps small- to medium-sized companies across a variety of industries save time, increase profitability, and improve team productivity through advanced systems and automation.

We implement CRMs, project management tools, and custom automations—often connecting multiple platforms and AI technologies—to help clients streamline operations, cut inefficiencies, and scale their businesses.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Lead Tech Developer/Senior Developer who can design, engineer, and implement complex workflows across multiple automation platforms. You’ll be responsible for building advanced solutions for clients, mentoring junior developers, and helping integrate AI-driven automation where appropriate.

This is a part-time role (10–20 hours/week) with high autonomy, ownership, and opportunity to influence how our systems and automations are built and scaled. This role is expected to grow to full-time over the coming year.

Responsibilities

Advanced Workflow Engineering

Design and architect complex multi-step workflows across platforms including n8n, Make, Zapier, and Superbase
Work with APIs, JSON, arrays, and data structures to connect multiple systems
Use Postman and other tools to test and debug APIs
Incorporate AI agents into workflows to solve business problems and improve efficiency
Develop solutions that are robust, scalable, and maintainable
Build & Implementation

Distill business problems into automated solutions
Take workflow designs from concept to production-level implementation
Configure, troubleshoot, and optimize automations across multiple tools
Ensure integrations work seamlessly and reliably for clients
Build reusable components, templates, and standardized solutions for efficiency
Mentorship & Training

Guide, mentor, and train junior developers on software and technical best practices
Review their workflows, automations, and code for quality and reliability
Develop internal documentation and training materials for complex workflows
Collaboration & Client Delivery

Partner with Account Managers/Delivery Lead to understand client needs and translate them into technical requirements
QA, test, and launch systems that meet client expectations
Provide technical guidance on feasibility, best practices, and potential AI integration
Attend client onboarding calls and mapping calls for more complex builds, providing technical guidance and workflow mapping in real time with the Delivery Lead/Account Manager
What You’re Accountable For

Designing and building highly technical, reliable workflows
Creating scalable, reusable automation solutions
Training and mentoring junior developers to elevate team capability
Ensuring integrations and automations function flawlessly in production
Staying ahead of automation, workflow, and AI trends to continuously improve client solutions
Experience Requirements

Required

Expert knowledge of n8n, Make, Zapier, and Superbase
Strong understanding of APIs, JSON, arrays, and workflow engineering
Experience with Postman or similar API testing tools
Proven ability to architect and implement complex automation workflows
Experience mentoring or leading technical teams
Familiarity with incorporating AI agents into workflows
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ownership mindset
Experience with CRMs, project management tools, or other business systems (ClickUp, Monday.com, GoHighLevel, HubSpot, etc.)
Familiarity with scripting languages (JavaScript, Python, etc.)
Agency or client-facing implementation experience
Who Thrives Here

You’ll excel in this role if you:

Love deep technical problem-solving and building from scratch
Think in terms of systems, APIs, and integrations
Enjoy mentoring others and raising the bar for technical excellence
Want autonomy to design workflows that push the limits of automation
