Détail du poste

Who we are

Having conquered the French market with over 4.5 million users, €1bn in GMV, and 6,000 partners, Joko has crafted the ultimate shopping app designed to empower consumers to shop smarter, with features like Buy Now Pay Later, cash back, coupons, price comparison, and wish lists. Now with Joko AI, our ultimate AI shopping assistant, consumers can find the best products and buy them at the best price. The ambition is to put Joko in the hands of billions of users globally, starting with the US.

As we embark on this global expansion, two of our co-founders have just moved to the US. Along with you and the pioneering team, they will lay the groundwork for future US success. We aim to dominate the US market and secure the top position. Joining us at this early stage is as thrilling as kickstarting a new venture, but with the advantage of leveraging the established infrastructure, with a strong product and profitable model we've built in France.

Our AI Automation team

At Joko, we're on a mission to scale smarter and faster, with AI at the core. We believe that becoming AI-first isn't just about adopting new tools : IT's about reimagining how work is done across the company.

That's why we've created a new AI Automation Team, reporting directly to our CTO and co-founder, Alex. This team plays a pivotal role in transforming how Joko operates, partnering with every team, from Product & Engineering to Care & Finance, to design and deploy powerful automation solutions that boost our efficiency at scale.

By combining deep technical skillsets with strong business acumen, we aim to build intelligent systems that don't just eliminate repetitive tasks, but fundamentally change how teams work and make decisions.

We don't just see AI as a way to do the same work with fewer people; we see IT as a multiplier that helps us accomplish much more. This team's mission is to lead that charge, not just by automating tasks, but by designing smarter ways of working for all of Joko.

What you will do

As an AI Automation Engineer, you'll BE at the center of the AI transformation at Joko. You'll analyze operations, identify opportunities to automate using AI, and deliver robust, scalable solutions, fully integrated into the company's systems and workflows.

Working closely with our CTO and partnering with teams across the company (Care, Sales, Finance, Marketing, etc.), you'll rethink how things are done and lead high-impact automation projects from end to end. From diagnosing bottlenecks to designing, developing, and deploying smart solutions, you'll own the entire lifecycle.

This role isn't about stitching together no-code tools. IT's about building production-grade systems that drive long-term impact.

AI-powered projects

You'll lead strategic AI initiatives from idea to production, such as :
- Deploying internal copilots and autonomous AI agents powered by LLMs to assist teams like Care or Sales in real time
- Automating complex processes such as customer support categorization, invoice reconciliation, or product feedback triage using AI models
- Building natural language interfaces into internal tools, so teammates can query data or trigger workflows with simple prompts
- Replacing rule-based workflows with adaptive, AI-powered systems that continuously improve over time

You won't just BE handed specs. You'll identify the problem, design the solution, and ship the system.

- Opportunity analysis : Partner with stakeholders across the company to surface high-value AI use cases
- Solution design : Architect reliable, scalable, and maintainable automation systems
- Development & implementation : Write clean, production-ready code to implement automation workflows and AI integrations
- System integration : Connect models and services with internal and external systems (databases, APIs, dashboards, tools)
- Monitoring & iteration : Track impact, gather feedback, and improve automations over time
- Evangelism & enablement : Empower other teams to adopt AI by sharing best practices and acting as an internal AI champion
- Tech watch : Stay on top of AI trends and innovations to bring the best to Joko

Ideally, you're also familiar with concepts like microservices, MCPs, REST, GraphQL, or webhooks.
- Autonomy : You are fully autonomous and able to manage complex projects from A to Z
- Communication : You have strong written and verbal communication skills, and you are able to explain something complex in simple words
- Mindset : You have an entrepreneurial mindset, you like challenges, you like getting hands-on and you want to know more about how a tech start-up company works
