[AI AT QONTO] AI is deeply embedded in how we work (here https://medium.com/qonto-way/ai-at-qonto-vision-statement-725a7e2f659b) - Every Qontoer gets unlimited access to the best AI tools. We want people who experiment without waiting for permission, push AI beyond the obvious, know when to trust it, and when to question it. Join us as an Operations Tooling Engineer to turn Qonto's Operations Enablement run into a self-improving system — one where every recurring request becomes an opportunity to automate, and where AI and scripting progressively replace manual, repetitive work. You will join the Operations Engineers team, part of Central Operations Enablement — the transversal pillar that equips Qonto's Operations factories with the tools, data access, and technical standards they need to scale. Our team acts as a Technical Product Partner to those factories: we own the architecture and data flows behind our back-office platform, our ticketing tool (Zendesk), and our telephony tool (Aircall), and we scale what one factory builds into something every factory can rely on. ➡️ What you'll do - Handle the run with rigor: triage and resolve day-to-day requests from the run backlog — operational tooling access/config issues, dashboard requests, and ad hoc data queries — with speed and quality, helping Operations Engineers, and Operations Enablement more broadly, scale. - Spot the patterns: identify recurring request types within the backlog and quantify their volume, time cost, and risk to prioritize what's worth automating. - Design and ship automations: turn repeatable manual tasks into supervised automations via low-code, scripts, and AI tools, documenting how each one is designed, used, and maintained so the team can rely on them without you — reducing lead time and manual effort on the run. - Run a continuous improvement loop: for each automation, scope the solution, estimate the expected gain, deploy it, measure the actual impact, keep the documentation up to date, and move to the next candidate; following a "treat → detect pattern → automate → measure → repeat" cycle. - Grow into department-wide improvement projects: as you build expertise in AI and operations automation, take on small improvement initiatives, complete with guides and how-tos, that extend the tools and automations built for our team to other Operations factories. ➡️ What we're looking for - Experience: You have 1-2 years of experience, with a background in engineering or a business school, and you're comfortable being hands-on with tools and data from day one. - Technical curiosity & tooling: You're comfortable navigating and troubleshooting operational tools (back-office platforms, Zendesk, Aircall, or equivalent CRM/ticketing/telephony platforms) and are excit
