AI Automation Engineer

About the job

We're hiring an AI Automation Engineer in Karachi. Onsite.

Durran AI builds autonomous operations systems for North American businesses. Not demos. Not decks. Systems that spend real advertising budget, talk to real customers, and get audited by real regulators. When something breaks at 3am in Toronto, it's our name on it.

Right now we're running an e-commerce operations agent for a US brand, and we're about to start an AI marketing platform for an Ontario car dealership. Both are live, both handle money, both are built on n8n, Postgres and the Claude API.

I need one more engineer.

What you'd actually do

• Build and debug n8n workflows that run unattended and cannot silently fail
• Design Postgres schemas that other things depend on
• Integrate APIs that fight back: Meta Marketing, Google Ads, Amazon SP-API, Shopify, Google Merchant Center
• Wrangle OAuth token flows that expire at inconvenient times
• Write the prompts and the guardrails around them, then prove they hold

What I'm actually looking for

• You can write Python or JavaScript well enough to be dangerous, and read it well enough to be useful
• You've worked with REST APIs, OAuth, and webhooks and have opinions about all three

Postgres beyond SELECT *

• You've used n8n, Make, Zapier or similar. If not, you learn tools fast enough that it won't matter
• You've shipped something that stayed up

The thing that matters most

• There's a rule here: code present in a file does not mean the code works.
• The only proof is execution logs and real output. Not that it validated. Not that it looks right. Not that the model said it would work.
• If your instinct after a change is to go check whether it actually did the thing, we'll get along. If your instinct is to say "should be working now," this will be a frustrating job for both of us.
• I'd rather hire someone who says "I don't know yet, let me check" than someone who's confidently wrong quickly.

What you get

• Real ownership. Small team, no layers, your work ships to clients with your fingerprints on it
• You'll touch the whole stack: architecture, build, deploy, debug, client-facing decisions
• Frontier AI tooling as a daily driver, not a novelty
• Direct line to me. I'm technical, I'm in the code, and I'll tell you when you're wrong
• Flexible working hours

Location: Onsite, DHA Phase 8, Karachi

You'll need to bring your own laptop.

Not for you if

• You want to prompt an LLM and paste the output without reading it
• You want a big company with process to hide behind
• You want remote. This one is onsite in Karachi, because the second engineer and I need to be in the same room while this scales

To apply

Send me a message with one thing you built that runs unattended, and one thing about it that broke in production and how you found out.

No cover letter. I'll read the second answer first.
