Senior AI Enablement Engineer

Location: Barcelona (office-first) Team: IT AI Enablement (new function) Reports to: Director of IT

Do you want to help every team at Factorial build with AI faster safer and without reinventing the wheel

Teams across Factorial already use AI every day: assistants automations agents internal tools. Were creating a new AI Enablement function inside IT to turn that energy into a shared secure reusable capability and youll be its founding hire.

Were looking for someone who:

• Loves building and loves it even more when what they build makes other people faster.
• Feels at home talking with a sales leader in the morning and shipping an MCP integration in the afternoon.
• Believes the best guardrail is a well-paved road not a locked gate.

Ready to be part of the challenge

As a Senior AI Enablement Engineer youll turn scattered AI experiments into shared building blocks the whole company can build on templates agents integrations and safe defaults that let any team ship in days instead of weeks. This is not a support ticket queue. Youre not writing the same automation five times for five teams; youre the reason nobody has to.

This role sits inside IT (team name to be confirmed) reporting directly to our Director of IT. Youll work alongside IT Systems and Support and partner closely with Security Legal & Privacy Engineering Data Procurement and business teams across the company.

IT keeps a hypergrowth company running. This role adds a new capability to it: making AI adoption something we do well together with shared building blocks clear patterns and safe defaults instead of something every team figures out alone.

Youll start as a team of one with the mandate to shape how the function works: its tools its standards its ways of working. As the function proves its value youll build the team that grows around it.

• Partner with business teams: work directly with Go-to-Market executives and team leads to turn loosely-defined ideas into well-scoped viable AI use cases understanding the business need before proposing the technology.
• Build reusable building blocks: create and maintain the templates skills agents MCP servers integrations and internal tools that let teams build in days instead of weeks.
• Design reference architectures: define recommended patterns stacks and practices for internal AI solutions so the easiest path is also the right one.
• Pave secure paths: design safe defaults for identity permissions secrets and data access together with our Security team and provide sandboxes where teams can experiment with confidence.
• Champion reuse: keep a living catalog of internal AI projects and components connect teams solving similar problems and make reuse the default.
• Review and guide: help teams get architecture dependencies permissions and code right with reviews proportional to risk designed to accelerate not to block.
• Enable people: run office hours write guides deliver hands-on sessions and grow a community of internal AI champions technical and non-technical alike.
• Shape the function: evaluate tools and vendors watch cost and overlap define how solutions are owned and maintained over their lifecycle and lay the foundations of the team youll build as the function grows.

• Builders core: solid programming experience and production work with APIs integrations identity/auth and automation. We care about what youve shipped more than the specific stack you used.
• AI as a daily habit: youve built real things with LLMs and agents (tool use RAG structured outputs prompt and context engineering) and you use AI intensively in your own workflow.
• Platform mindset: a background in DevOps Platform Engineering Systems or internal tooling; youd rather pave the road once than fix the same pothole ten times.
• Business translation: youre comfortable with non-technical stakeholders you ask what problem are we solving before which model and you can scope an ambiguous idea into something buildable that moves a real business goal forward.
• Enabler by default: when someone wants to use AI your instinct is to find the safe way to say yes you unblock guide and accelerate teams so the companys objectives keep moving and you treat blocking as a last resort for real risk.
• Security by design: least privilege secrets hygiene and healthy skepticism about dependencies come naturally to you applied with judgment proportional to risk.
• Founder energy: youve built something from zero (a function a platform a practice) you prioritize ruthlessly and ambiguity motivates you rather than paralyzes you.

Technical Foundation (Not Strict Requirements)

• Identity & workspace administration: Google Workspace administration SSO (SAML/OIDC) directory and access management.
• Cloud & infrastructure: AWS GCP or Azure; containers serverless or infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar).
• DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines Git-based workflows scripting (Python TypeScript Bash or similar) monitoring and logging.
• Systems administration: managing a SaaS estate service accounts and API tokens secrets management permissions and audit trails.
• AI building blocks: MCP servers AI skills/plugins agent frameworks or automation platforms (low-code counts).
• Governance: exposure to AI governance data governance or software supply-chain security.

Bonus points if youve worked in Business Technology IT Systems Solutions Architecture or another internal business-facing technical role or if youve taught documented or built enablement programs before.
