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.
