About the Role

You will study how our teams work, find tasks that AI agents and automation can take over, and then build, deploy, and maintain those solutions. You will use free, open-source, and existing Microsoft 365 tools wherever possible, running them on the cloud or on our own servers. This is a hands-on role: you will own your solutions from idea to daily use.

• Deploy and run open-source platforms such as n8n, LangGraph, CrewAI, and Ollama using Docker on Linux or cloud servers
• Monitor performance, fix issues, control costs, and keep sensitive data secure
• Document your work and train staff to use the tools
