Job Description

About Us
Foreplay is a fast-growing SaaS company helping 10,000+ brands and agencies (like AG1, Dr. Squatch, and Rhode Beauty) unlock creative inspiration and analytics. We’re bootstrapped, profitable, and scaling fast. Now, we’re looking for our first AI Ops & Automation Engineer a hybrid of builder, hacker, and strategist to help us discover and deploy high-leverage AI and automation opportunities across the business.

‍

The Mission
Your role is to make our company faster, leaner, and smarter with AI. You’ll uncover inefficiencies, build no-code/low-code agents, and deploy workflows that save time and unlock growth. Think of this as being the “automation layer” across every team: marketing, sales, product, and ops.

What You’ll Do

  • Discover opportunities: Shadow teams, run audits, and spot repetitive processes that AI can automate.
  • Prototype & build: Use platforms like n8n, Gumloop, Zapier, Langflow, Relevance AI, and APIs (including our own Foreplay API) to build workflows and agents.
  • Deploy & scale: Move experiments into production, monitor them, and document workflows for others.
  • Drive growth: Build AI-driven workflows for lead gen, campaign scaling, competitor insights, and creative research.
  • Experiment creatively: Push boundaries. Build scrappy internal tools that give us unfair advantages.

‍

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong fluency with no-code/low-code automation tools (n8n, Gumloop, Zapier, Make, Airtable, Notion, etc.).
  • Comfort with APIs, JSON, webhooks, and basic scripting (Python or JavaScript).
  • A product mindset: you care about business impact, not just technical novelty.
  • A builder personality: scrappy, resourceful, and curious. You tinker until it works.
  • Ability to translate vague problems into clear, automated workflows.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.

‍

Bonus Points

  • Experience in marketing tech, SaaS, or growth-focused roles.
  • Exposure to AI agent frameworks.
  • Portfolio of past automation/AI projects you can share.

‍

Why Join Us

  • Direct impact: your work will shape how the entire company runs.
  • Fast-moving, ambitious environment—we value speed and creativity.
  • Bootstrapped and profitable: stability without bureaucracy.
  • Be at the forefront of AI + growth + creative strategy.

‍

How We’ll Measure Success

  • Within 60 days: 5–10 live automations saving measurable hours for the team.
  • Within 3 months: Workflows tied directly to revenue or growth outcomes.
  • Within 12 months: You’ve built the automation layer that makes Foreplay one of the leanest, fastest companies in our space.
