Job Description

Job Summary:

The AI Automation Engineer will serve as the credit union’s hands-on lead for intelligent automation and AI-enabled process improvement. This role is responsible for identifying, designing, and implementing automation solutions that reduce manual effort, increase operational efficiency, and modernize business processes across the organization.
