What the role involves

What is Automat?

Automat was founded by a diverse group of creative technologists from teams like Google Creative Lab, and Samsung’s innovation Think Tank Team. We envision a future where intelligent agents streamline business operations - and one day, run their own enterprises. We're redefining Enterprise Agentic Process Automation and Intelligent Document Processing to replace bulky and expensive Legacy RPA (Robotic Process Automation) solutions by developing the necessary tooling and infrastructure to incorporate the advancements of AI into practical, real-world applications.

We value creativity, pragmatism, collaboration, and impact above rigid requirements. If you're excited about AI Agents and automation, thrive in flexible, creative environments, and want to work on meaningful, pioneering projects alongside experienced entrepreneurs - this role is for you.

We encourage anyone to apply - we think talent, passion and your unique perspective can outweigh years of experience. We are really looking for someone who can hit the ground running on day one and contribute at a rapid pace, while also being someone from whom we ourselves can learn from.
