AI Automation Engineer

DigaCore Technology Consulting•Lakewood Township, NJ

7d•$90,000 - $120,000

About The Position

At Digacore, we help businesses operate smarter through technology, automation, and exceptional support. We’re a fast-paced MSP that blends IT, development, automation, and client experience into one collaborative environment. We’re looking for an AI Automation Engineer who is curious, AI-native, and energized by the idea of building real workflows that save time and money. In this role, you’ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with end users — internal teams and clients — to identify pain points, design AI-augmented workflows, and ship them using tools like Claude, n8n, and Power Automate. You don’t need to be a senior developer — you do need to know how to talk to Claude, build with its guidance, and learn our MSP and client context quickly. You won’t just automate tasks; you’ll tag a measurable ROI against every workflow you ship.

Requirements

1–3 years of hands-on experience in automation, scripting, or development — enough to build with confidence, not enough to be senior
Working knowledge of Claude — you’ve used Claude.ai or Claude Code, and you’re comfortable directing it to build, debug, and iterate alongside you
Hands-on experience building workflows in at least one of: n8n (ideally with AI nodes/agents) or Power Automate (ideally with Copilot)
Comfort with basic scripting and API integrations (REST, JSON, webhooks)
An ROI mindset — you instinctively ask “how much time does this save?” and can tag a metric to the work
Strong discovery and listening skills — you can sit with a non-technical end user and pull the real problem out of them
Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting your work to leadership and clients
Strong troubleshooting and research instincts, and the ability to pick up new tools and models quickly
Willingness to ramp on our MSP and client context — you don’t need to know it on day one, but you need to want to learn it

Nice To Haves

MSP experience
Experience with additional LLM platforms and APIs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, etc.) and prompt engineering best practices
Familiarity with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and the Power Platform
Experience working with databases such as Supabase, Postgres, or SQL Server
Basic familiarity with Node.js, React, or other modern frameworks — enough to read code and extend small apps with Claude’s help
Experience supporting operational workflows or internal business systems

Responsibilities

Sit with end users and stakeholders to uncover repetitive, manual, or high-friction workflows that are candidates for AI and automation
Design and build AI-augmented workflows using Claude (Code, Skills, Agent SDK), n8n with AI nodes/agents, and Power Automate with Copilot — leaning on Claude as your pair-programmer
Create Claude Skills, Agents, and Cowork plugins tailored to specific departments and use cases
Tag a measurable metric against every workflow you build — estimated hours saved, manual steps reduced, runs executed, user adoption — and do the basic math to show impact
Translate business problems into clear, scoped solutions and well-written Jira tickets
Prototype quickly, gather user feedback, and iterate — ship working flows, not slide decks
Build and maintain lightweight integrations between Claude, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, APIs, and internal tools
Partner with senior developers and automation engineers to harden your prototypes into production-ready workflows
Write and troubleshoot supporting scripts, API calls, and small automations that glue systems together
Document each workflow clearly so other team members and clients can use, support, and extend it
Communicate professionally with executives, leadership, and end users — during discovery, demos, and rollout
