## Role Description
We are seeking an **AI Operation Specialist** to join our team full-time / part-time / freelance in **Bordeaux, France**.
This is a **hybrid role**: part hands-on AI builder, part project manager. You will start by taking ownership of existing AI agents deployed across multiple clients — understanding their feedback, learning the business logic, and driving continuous improvement. As you ramp up, you'll progressively take on new builds and contribute to use case scoping.
### What you'll do
**🔄 Continuous improvement of deployed agents (35%)**
- Take ownership of AI agents already in production for our clients
- Analyze client feedback, usage data, and conversation logs to identify improvement opportunities
- Deeply understand each client's business logic, domain, and workflows to make agents more relevant and reliable
- Implement prompt improvements, connector updates, behavior adjustments, and feature enhancements
- Monitor agent performance via observability tools (LangSmith, tracing, feedback loops, LLM-as-a-Judge)
- Drive a structured improvement cycle: measure → analyze → implement → validate → iterate
**📋 Project management & client delivery (30%)**
- Be the day-to-day contact for your clients throughout the project lifecycle
- Coordinate between internal teams (engineering, product, data science) and client stakeholders
- Run sprint reviews, demos, and feedback sessions with clients
- Track progress, anticipate risks, and ensure on-time delivery
- Manage multiple client projects simultaneously across different industries
**🤖 New agent design, build & orchestration (20%)**
- Design, build, and deploy new AI agents as you gain mastery of the stack: conversational agents, callbots, and custom AI-powered applications
- Architect RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines with vector search on business document bases
- Orchestrate multi-agent systems
- Select and integrate the right tools & connectors for each client context (CRM, ERP, APIs, data sources)
**🎯 Use case scoping & discovery (15%)**
- Participate in discovery workshops alongside the commercial team
- Contribute to use case identification and feasibility assessment
- Translate business needs into functional specifications and technical architecture
### How the role evolves
```
Months 1-3 → Continuous improvement of existing agents, client feedback loops, learning the stack & business logic
Months 3-6 → Start building new agents from scratch, lead project delivery autonomously
Months 6+ → Contribute to scoping, architecture decisions, pre-sales support
```

## Qualifications
### Must-have
- **Proven experience building and deploying AI agents** (conversational or task-oriented) in production environments using LLMs
- Strong proficiency with **LLM provider APIs** (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral) and orchestration frameworks (**LangChain, n8n, MCP**)
- Hands-on experience with **RAG architectures**, vector databases, and API integrations
- Solid development skills: **Python** and/or **TypeScript/Next.js/React**
- **Strong debugging and analytical skills** — you can read conversation logs, trace agent behavior, and diagnose prompt or pipeline issues quickly
- Ability to **understand business logic and domain context** to make agents smarter, not just technically functional
- Ability to **communicate clearly** with non-technical clients — present progress, manage expectations, explain trade-offs
- Excellent skills in **French and English**
- Daily usage of AI tools — AI-first problem solver
### Nice-to-have
- Experience with LLMOps: tracing, evaluation pipelines, LLM-as-a-Judge, LangSmith
- Experience managing project delivery in a tech/SaaS/consulting environment
- Experience with callbot/voice AI technologies (LiveKit, ElevenLabs, Deepgram)
- Cloud deployment experience (AWS, Docker, Vercel)
- Background in SaaS product delivery
- Knowledge of change management methodologies
