AI Integration Engineer (LATAM)

AI Integration Engineer

We built 3 AI agents in 48 hours. Youll help us build the next 10.

Who We Are

EightX is a growth economics consultancy that serves eCommerce DTC and CPG brands doing $2M$80M in revenue. We act as fractional CFOs and growth advisors sitting inside our clients businesses running financial models managing ad performance and tracking every deliverable.

Were now building an internal AI agent system that automates the work our team does every day: reading call transcripts updating financial models monitoring ad performance tracking client deliverables. Three agents are already live in production on a self-hosted VPS wired to Slack Fireflies and Meta. Youll be the engineer who builds everything next.

The Role

Youll work directly with the founder to build ship and maintain the AI agent infrastructure. This is not a research or architecture role its a build role. We move extremely fast. Youll be expected to take a spec pick it up in Claude Code and have something working the same day.

Youll own:

• Building MCP servers () that connect our AI agents to external APIs Fireflies Gmail GoHighLevel CRM Google Sheets Meta Ads
• Writing skills .md files enabling our teams with OpenClaw Claude Cowork and LLM APIs.
• Google Sheets automation scripting financial model updates building structured data pipelines from call transcripts to spreadsheets
• Infrastructure work Docker SSH container health monitoring environment variable management network isolation
• Debugging fast reading logs finding the failure point shipping the fix

What You Must Have

Non-negotiable

• You use Claude Code (or Cursor) as your primary development environment not as a novelty but as your main way of working. If youre not already doing this this role isnt right for you.
• You ship today not next week. If the spec is clear you build it the same day. Thats the bar.
• comfortable with async/await HTTP servers API integrations npm ecosystem
• Docker can build images run containers read logs manage environment variables debug networking issues
• REST and GraphQL API integration reading API docs and implementing against them is bread-and-butter work for you
• You must understand how LLMs think how they ingest information and how to structure information and prompts for maximal effectiveness

Strong Preference

• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) server development or any similar tool-server pattern
• Google Sheets API or Apps Script we use Sheets as a core client deliverable format
• Slack bot development or webhook integrations
• Prior work building automation systems n8n Make Zapier or custom API glue that you outgrew and replaced with code
• Comfortable with Linux and SSH this is not a managed cloud environment

What Youll Build First

In your first two weeks youll:

• Build out 4 highly functional secure and intelligent agents. We will show you how. You will deliver.
• Replicate a couple agents to work client side
• Begin enabling our team to use and interact with new agents

These arent speculative projects. The specs exist. The VPS is running. Youre shipping into production from day one.

How We Work

• Async-first. Most communication via Slack. No daily standups.
• Youll get clear written specs. We dont expect you to figure out what to build we expect you to build it fast.
• We use Claude Code heavily. We expect you to use it too. Well share our patterns prompts and learnings.
• Full-time contractor. Ongoing engagement. This isnt a one-time project.
• Timezone: LatAm or India preferred. LatAm strongly preferred for real-time overlap with US hours.

How to Apply

We dont want a cover letter. We want to see you work.

Send us:

• A link to something youve built an API integration a bot an automation a tool server. Doesnt have to be polished. Has to be real.
• One paragraph on how you use Claude Code or Cursor in your daily workflow. Be specific not I use AI to help me code but how and for what.
• Your hourly rate and timezone.

If your profile looks right well send you a paid test task: build a working MCP server against a real API from our stack. You have 30 minutes. Thats not a typo. Well pay you for your time regardless of outcome but if 30 minutes sounds impossible this role probably isnt the right fit.
