Senior Automation Specialist

📈 Who We Are:
We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair.
Our goal is to put power back where it belongs, in the hands of customers and to take on one of the most critical problems of our century, access to low cost electricity.
tem exists to fix a broken global energy market that’s long favoured legacy operators, intermediaries, and opaque pricing. Today’s electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators.
We’ve built the first AI native transaction infrastructure to reinvent how electricity is bought, sold and priced. Our technology is designed to cut out the inefficient fees, automate complex market flows, and bring transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale.
In late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we closed a $75 million Series B - led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Albion, Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital and others - positioning us for global expansion, deeper product innovation and category leadership.
We’re scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure is foundational to electricity markets worldwide.
Since launch, our modern utility product, known as RED, has already facilitated thousands of business customers and billions in energy transaction value, proving that modern software and AI can transform an industry built on legacy systems.
At tem, we’re not just building another energy company, we’re rearchitecting market infrastructure so that transparency, efficiency and sustainability become the default, not the exception.
The role
We're hiring a Senior Automation Specialist to automate the operational work that runs tem, the work that sits outside Product and Engineering.
You'll partner directly with our Engine Leads to find manual processes and replace them with automation that holds up. This is hands-on and AI-first. You'll build agents, reasoning layers, and integrations using coding agents like Claude and Codex alongside n8n, and you'll ship them inside tem's own stack (GitHub, AWS, S3, TypeScript), so they last, rather than becoming next quarter's clean-up job.
You'll report to the Engine Ops Lead.
In this role you will:
- Design and maintain the reasoning layer for our operational engines: workflows that route and action tasks on business logic, not just move data between systems.

- Translate manual processes into automation with our Engine Leads, iterating fast on real operational feedback.

- Build agents with Claude, Codex, or equivalent, backed by evals and manual QA, shipped through tem's own GitHub and AWS stack rather than new vendor tools.

- Own delivery end to end, from discovery through to production, monitoring, and iteration, measuring yourself on hours reclaimed.

What you'll do
Build the reasoning layer
- Design and maintain the automation and reasoning layer for our operational engines: workflows that route and action tasks on business logic, not just move data between systems.

- Codify business rules, build data-quality gates, and define the safety valves that know when to hand a task to a human instead of an agent.

- Build agents with Claude, Codex, or equivalent that take on real operational volume. Each one is prompted, tested against real data, measured on precision and recall, iterated, and shipped only once it clears an agreed bar.

Partner with Engine Leads
- Work directly with the domain experts across Payments & Debt, Tendering & Partner Activation, and other operational areas to learn the business logic and turn manual processes into automation.

- Move where the impact is. You'll shift priorities to whichever engine stands to gain the most from automation.

- Iterate on real operational feedback, not on what looked right in testing.

Integrate and ship properly
- Connect internal platforms and third-party services usin
