We are looking for an AI Automation Engineer to help us power up the traveller's journey for millions of holidaymakers. If you are passionate about designing & building AI solutions, keep on reading, as you might be the perfect fit for this job.

The job in brief:

Job Title - AI Automation Engineer

Working model - hybrid from Switzerland

Team - you will join the Automation Engineering team within the Automation department.

Level - Professional

Location - Chiasso, Switzerland (only for hybrid positions)

Contract - Permanent - full-time (EUR 36 h/week)

What your impact will be:

  • Build and scale n8n automation workflows.

Design, build, and maintain production-grade workflows on our self-hosted n8n Enterprise platform (AWS EKS), supporting business units across the company and helping grow our Citizen Developer / self-service automation program.

  • Design and build custom AI solutions. Develop applications and tools that use AI to support key business processes. These solutions will be tailored to specific needs across different departments.
  • Connect AI tools with our systems. Integrate external AI platforms (such as OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude) with our existing tools using APIs, low-code platforms like n8n, and custom connectors.
  • Contribute to our governed knowledge layer.

Support and extend our Company Context / Universal RAG Knowledge Base, including document ingestion pipelines, retrieval quality, and access governance.

  • Work with natural language processing (NLP). Create tools for analyzing conversations, automating emails, and generating insights from customer interactions.
  • Build generative AI solutions. Use generative AI to automate tasks like content creation and communication personalization.
  • Maintain and improve systems. Update code, monitor system performance, and retrain models regularly to ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • Collaborate with tech teams. Work closely with data engineers, DevOps, and other developers to make sure AI tools are scalable and reliable.

What You Might Build:

  • n8n workflows automating cross-department processes
  • NLP-based systems that analyze calls and emails
  • RAG-powered assistants and chatbots grounded in our Company Context knowledge base
  • Virtual assistants and chatbots to support internal teams
  • Recommendation engines that guide real-time sales or support actions
  • Automated tools to generate personalized content
  • Dashboards and reporting tools that surface AI-generated insights

Your expertise:

  • 3+ years of hands-on AI development: You’ve built and shipped AI solutions that led to real business impact—whether that’s increased revenue, reduced cost, or improved customer satisfaction (NPS).
  • Fast, practical builder: You move quickly from idea to working prototype, and improve as you go. You aim for results, not perfection.
  • End-to-end problem solver: You take ownership from idea to deployment—writing documentation only when needed, and focusing on what works.
  • Strong technical troubleshooting: You can quickly find the cause of technical issues using logs, dev tools, or pattern matching.
  • Security-aware mindset: You understand authentication, authorization scopes, and safe handling of credentials.
  • Communicator and storyteller: You present your ideas clearly, show live demos with confidence, and help business teams understand the value of your work.

Your Skills and Tools

  • Automation Platforms:

Hands-on experience with n8n (or similar low-code platforms such as Make, Zapier), including self-hosted/enterprise deployments.

  • Languages: Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript.
  • AI/ML Development: Experience with LLMs (e.g. Claude, Gemini, OpenAI), prompt engineering, and building agentic workflows; familiarity with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch is a plus.
  • RAG & Knowledge Systems:

Experience with retrieval-augmented generation, vector databases, and document ingestion pipelines.

  • Data & APIs: Strong understanding of APIs, cloud-based infrastructure, and microservices architecture.
  • Software Practices: Familiar with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and the full software development lifecycle.
  • Cloud & Deployment: Comfortable working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), container tools (Docker, Kubernetes), and serverless architectures.

Selection process steps*:

- HR interview (10-30 minutes)

- 1st interview (Manager): soft skills + technical knowledge

- Business/Technical Case

- Offer extended

(*Please note the process can slightly vary. The recruiter in charge will share more details when setting up the interview)

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
