Proficiency in JavaScript (Node.js) for scripting within workflow environments.
Experience with JSON data manipulation and transformation.
Familiarity with integrating AI APIs such as OpenAI (ChatGPT, DALL*E) is a strong plus.
Comfortable working with cloud services (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) and APIs like Google Slides, Google Drive, or similar.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex workflows.
Good communication skills and ability to work independently or as part of a remote team.

Desirable Experience

Knowledge of webhook design and event-driven architectures.
Familiarity with version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines.
Basic understanding of data privacy and security best practices.
