FreedomPay’s technology has been purposely built to deliver rock solid performance in the highly complex environment of global commerce. The company maintains a world-class security environment and was first to earn the coveted validation by the PCI Security Standards Council against Point-to-Point Encryption with EMV standard in North America.

The award winning FreedomPay Commerce Platform operates on a single, unified technology stack across multiple continents allowing enterprises to deliver a consistent, repeatable experience on a global scale. FreedomPay is a fast paced, high growth company with a great culture with competitive benefits and compensation with a business casual atmosphere. ### Primary Responsibilities - Embed with internal teams to map workflows, find the largest bottlenecks, and redesign the whole workflow around AI rather than speeding up a single step. - Build internal tools that replace manual processes. - Automate multi-step workflows end to end: validation, approvals, notifications, status tracking, and exception handling. - Prototype in days with AI coding tools and LLMs, then harden what sticks with testing, logging, error handling, and documentation. - Measure results: cycle time, tickets deflected, hours saved, and error rates. - Work within security and compliance requirements, including PCI scope, data classification, access control, and change management. - Train users, gather feedback, and iterate. - Advise and mentor individual team members on shaping their own workflows, so they can solve more problems themselves. - Own the long-term support strategy for every tool you ship: who supports it, when it hands off, and when it retires. ### AI Enablement & Automation AI is core to how this role operates. You will: - Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude (including Claude Code) daily to design, build, test, and document solutions. - Build agents and AI-powered workflows on the Microsoft AI stack (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, Microsoft Fabric), grounded in company data through Microsoft IQ. - Design, build, and support fully autonomous agents that carry out multi-step work, with guardrails, monitoring, and clear escalation paths. - Build and maintain MCP servers, both local (STDIO) and remote (HTTP), that securely connect AI tools to internal systems and data. - Package reusable capabilities as skills and plugins that teams can install and share. - Practice context engineering: prompt and tool design, retrieval (RAG), and memory, so agents get the right information at the right time. - Build evals and test sets that measure agent quality, catch regressions, and show when something is ready to ship. - Instrument agents for observability and cost: tracing, token usage, and failure analysis. - Choose the right tool and model for each problem, weighing quality, cost, and latency: low-code agent, custom code, or plain automation. - Scout new AI tools and capabilities as they land, and form a clear point of view on what's worth enabling. - Apply responsible AI practices in a highly regulated payment-processing environment, including data classification, access control, and human-in-the-loop review. - Share what works: publish reusable prompts, agents, and patterns other teams can adopt. ### Required Background and Experience - 3-5 years of experience in technical operations/automation, software engineering, or solutions engineering. A Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience. - Strong business and process sense: you can understand a non-technical team's workflow and design the right fix. - Keeps pace with an AI ecosystem that changes daily, and can tell a real step forward from hype. - Clear communicator who can work independently, prioritize by impact, and ship iteratively. - Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities in a fast-paced environment. ### Required Technical Skills - Hands-on experience building with AI coding assistants, with Claude strongly preferred, and applying LLMs to real workflows. - Working proficiency with the Microsoft AI stack (for example Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Foundry, Fabric), or demonstrated ability to ramp quickly. - Full-stack fundamentals: a modern web framework, REST APIs, SQL, and scripting in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript. - Comfortable with Git and team workflows: branching, pull requests, and code review. - Experience with integration and workflow tools (APIs, webhooks, iPaaS, RPA, or similar). - Understanding of secure development practices, authentication, and access control. ### Preferred Skills and Experience - Payments, fintech, or other regulated-industry experience. - Familiarity with PCI DSS, SSO/OAuth, and data classification. - Experience in a Windows/.NET environment (C#, PowerShell), Azure, and CI/CD (Azure DevOps or similar). - Experience designing and supporting autonomous agents or agentic workflows, including MCP servers, skills/plugins, evals, and multi-agent orchestration. - Experience supporting production tools used by non-technical teams.
