Head of AI & Automation
Who We Are
Brilic Media builds and scales mobile applications. Founded in 2018 on a simple belief: the best products are the ones that just work.
We’re looking for a Head of AI & Automation to establish and lead our automation function, from architecture and initial implementation to building a dedicated team.
You will work directly with the CEO and leaders across Product, Design, Engineering, QA, and Marketing to turn manual processes into integrated workflows using AI agents, software, and API integrations.
Your mission
Shorten the cycle from idea to implementation, launch, and learning. Identify the highest-impact opportunities, build practical solutions, and ensure teams adopt them.
Initially, this is a hands-on leadership role. As the function grows, you will define the team structure, recruit specialists, and lead delivery.
What you’ll do
• Map existing workflows and identify bottlenecks, repetitive work, and automation opportunities.
• Build a roadmap prioritized by business impact, implementation effort, cost, and data readiness.
• Design and implement workflows that combine AI agents, business rules, API integrations, and human approvals.
• Connect and extend existing tools, including internal dashboards, analytics platforms, task management systems, and advertising accounts.
• Establish standards for data access, output validation, monitoring, cost control, error handling, and maintenance.
• Partner with department leaders to embed solutions into everyday work and measure their impact.
• Build and lead the AI & Automation team, owning team structure, hiring, development, delivery, and technical standards.
What we’re looking for
• Strong software engineering and architecture experience, with systems delivered and maintained in production.
• Practical experience building LLM applications, AI agents, and workflows that interact with external tools and data.
• Ability to understand a business process and translate it into a reliable technical solution.
• Strong skills in Python or an equivalent stack, API integrations, databases, and asynchronous processing.
• Experience with workflow orchestration, state management, failure recovery, and preventing duplicate actions.
• Experience evaluating AI output quality, tracing execution, monitoring systems, and optimizing costs.
• Ability to work hands-on, make architecture decisions, and review other engineers’ implementations.
• Technical leadership or people management experience, with the ability to recruit and develop a team.
• Clear communication with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
What success looks like in your first 90 days
• A clear map of priority workflows and a roadmap agreed with department leaders.
• An architecture that builds on our existing systems and automations.
• Initial workflows deployed and used in daily operations, with results measured against a baseline.
• Monitoring for output quality, errors, and operating costs.
• A proposed team structure and hiring plan aligned with the roadmap.
How we’ll measure impact
Manual time saved, shorter process turnaround times, output quality and reliability, adoption across teams, and cost per completed workflow.
