Summary

Onsite in Irvine, CA, builds Claude Skills/plugins and MCP server integrations that automate an executive Strategy/Portfolio/Governance office's reporting (vendor cost, org-change, hiring) for Purple Drive's client, PayPal. Core stack: Python/Node.js/TypeScript, Claude Code/agentic assistants, MCP, OAuth/SSO, Workday/ServiceNow/M365 integrations, and Excel automation.

Dear Supplier Partner,

Looking for AI Automation Engineer for our client

Location: Irvine, CA (Onsite)

Role Title: AI Automation Engineer
Description:
Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

● 3+ years of software engineering experience, with solid proficiency in Python and/or

Node.js/TypeScript.

● Hands-on experience building with Claude Code / Claude Skills or an equivalent agentic

coding assistant (e.g., OpenAI Codex, Cursor), including the skill/plugin packaging

model (SKILL.md-style definitions, front-matter, tool scoping).

● Working knowledge of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — building, deploying, and

registering MCP servers; comfortable with OAuth/SSO-based auth patterns.

● Experience integrating with enterprise SaaS APIs and data sources — Workday,

ServiceNow, Microsoft 365/SharePoint, Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), Slack — plus

strong Excel/spreadsheet automation (formulas, pivots, reconciliation logic).

● Understanding of data classification and AI governance concepts (PII handling, RBAC,

guardrails) in an enterprise setting.

● High discretion with confidential material — org-change plans, headcount, and vendor

financials — before they're announced or finalized.

● Strong written communication — comfortable working directly with an executive office

to scope fast-turnaround, judgment-sensitive asks.

Preferred / Nice to Have ● Prior exposure to financial/budget analysis, vendor cost reconciliation, or contingent-workforce (SOW) reporting. ● Familiarity with data engineering (SQL) and business intelligence tools (Looker, Power BI, Tableau) ● Prior work on an internal AI/automation platform team, or with a skills/plugin/tool registry and its certification pipeline.

Roles & Responsibilities

● Build and maintain Claude Skills/Plugins for Strategy, Portfolio and Governance's

recurring deliverables: CW/vendor cost-split analysis (SOW-level $ by support tier,

supplier reconciliation to source-of-truth totals), org-change one-pagers, MPR pre-read

assembly, AI-adoption reporting, and hiring job description generation.

● Automate data pulls and reconciliation from source systems — Workday

(org/headcount), ServiceNow SPM/Master Portfolio, CW expense/SOW spreadsheets,

and SharePoint/M365 — into standardized Strategy, Portfolio and Governance reporting

formats, with built-in checks against known source totals.

● Develop and register lightweight MCP server integrations connecting Claude/Claude

Code to the systems the Strategy, Portfolio and Governance office relies on day to day

(Workday, ServiceNow, SharePoint/M365, Slack, Jira/Confluence) via PayPal's Cosmos

AI Nexus MCP Hub.

● Certify and publish skills/plugins through the Cosmos Skills & Plugin Registry, meeting

taxonomy, metadata, and CI compliance-validation requirements.

● Apply RBAC and data-handling guardrails correctly given the sensitivity of what flows

through these tools — unannounced org changes, headcount/hiring plans, and vendor

financials — so nothing is exposed outside a strict need-to-know.

● Work directly with Pallavi to translate ad hoc and recurring Strategy, Portfolio and

Governance asks into repeatable automation, iterating quickly as reporting needs shift

week to week.

● Maintain clear documentation for each skill/plugin (purpose, inputs/outputs, data

sources, owner) and provide day-two support/maintenance once in production.
