About the role
We're looking for a Junior Customer Service Automation Engineer to join our Customer Service team at Les Mills International.
This is an opportunity for an early-career developer who enjoys solving problems, building useful technology and learning how AI systems operate in the real world.
Working closely with our Customer Service, AI and Engineering teams, you'll help maintain and improve Freshdesk applications, integrations and automations, as well as our live AI agents.
You'll investigate technical issues, evaluate AI-generated responses, improve workflows and support the reliability and safety of our customer support technology.
Skills and experience you'll need
You'll have practical programming experience, a strong interest in generative AI and a curiosity for understanding how systems connect. You're comfortable troubleshooting problems, learning new technologies and collaborating with people from both technical and non-technical backgrounds.
You will ideally need experience in the following:
- Coding in Python, TypeScript or JavaScript, with an understanding of APIs, JSON, webhooks and Git.
- Integrating or automating business applications, including testing and troubleshooting workflows.
- Understanding generative AI, LLMs or AI agents, with an interest in evaluation, prompt improvement and safe AI behaviour.
- Investigating production issues using logs, monitoring tools and structured problem-solving techniques.
Experience with ZenDesk/Freshdesk, LangSmith, LangGraph, Datadog, Snowflake, Databricks, AWS or Claude Code would be advantageous, but you don't need to know them all.
You'll receive support from experienced colleagues as you develop your skills in AI engineering, integrations and reliable software delivery.
