FingerTrip · Founding team
Workflow Automation Engineer
Turn repetitive operational work into dependable systems. Study how FingerTrip’s internal workflows actually run, remove the friction, and build automations that let a small team operate with the leverage of a much larger one.
How we work
We work primarily on Mac, with Notion as our shared workspace and Claude, Codex, or Cursor as everyday building tools. Experience with them is welcome; curiosity and a willingness to learn them are essential.
What you will do
- Map workflows across content operations, event ingestion, data quality, partner support, and administration.
- Build automations, internal tools, integrations, and AI-assisted workflows using APIs, scripts, databases, and human review.
- Design validation, retries, audit trails, and recovery paths, then measure time saved, error reduction, throughput, and quality.
- Decide what should stay manual, and keep a person in the loop wherever judgment or risk demands one.
What we are looking for
- Strong systems thinking, and the ability to turn messy manual work into clear, dependable processes.
- Hands-on experience with APIs, scripting, SQL, automation platforms, or internal tooling.
- Care for edge cases, permissions, human oversight, and documentation, with close collaboration with the people who run the work.
- A bias for measuring what an automation actually saved, and for retiring the ones that stop earning their keep.
Nice to have
- Experience building workflow systems on GCP or AWS with Python, TypeScript, webhooks, queues, schedulers, or internal tools.
- Experience with LLM-assisted operations, data pipelines, browser automation, content operations, or local commerce.
- Experience working alongside non-engineering operators and turning their feedback into tooling they actually use.
Why FingerTrip
Search returns results, maps return places, social returns inspiration, and travel apps return inventory — and people are still left to turn all of it into a decision themselves. We believe AI changes that interface for good. FingerTrip understands what someone actually wants and helps them go and do it, and every founding role here shapes what that becomes.
