AI Workflow & Automation Engineer (Temporary)

Global Strategy Group (GSG) is a leading public opinion research and communications firm working at the intersection of politics, policy, and public affairs. Our research team partners with campaigns, advocacy organizations, corporations, and foundations to generate actionable insights that shape strategy and win complex battles. We are seeking a hands-on AI Workflow & Automation Engineer to design, build, and deploy internal tools that automate and enhance our survey research workflows using AI. The goal is to reduce manual processing time, improve consistency, and enable our analysts to focus on strategic insight and client impact. This is a temporary, project-based consulting engagement focused on delivering a defined set of internal automation tools in an exciting election year. This is a high-impact, execution-focused opportunity for a strong engineer who can quickly translate research processes into reliable, maintainable systems. This role is focused on building working tools — not just experimenting with AI.
This is a new (temporary) role that is expected to support the team through the end of 2026.

Responsibilities

• AI-Powered Workflow Development: Design and implement production-ready tools that integrate LLMs and other automation techniques into research workflows.
• Software Engineering & Architecture: Write modular, testable, maintainable Python code grounded in strong engineering principles.
• Data Processing & Automation: Build reproducible pipelines that transform raw data into structured, analysis-ready outputs, with validation and logging built in.
• APIs & System Integration: Develop services and integrations that connect survey platforms, databases, and AI components.
• Model Evaluation & QA: Implement structured testing and evaluation frameworks to validate automated outputs and preserve methodological rigor.
• Internal Tooling: Build lightweight tools or interfaces that enable researchers to interact seamlessly with automated systems.

Qualifications

• Required
• Strong programming skills in Python (required)
• Experience building automated workflows, data pipelines, or internal tools
• Experience integrating LLM APIs or similar AI systems into production workflows
• Understanding of APIs and system integrations
• Experience working with structured and unstructured data
• Ability to design clean, maintainable systems (not just scripts)
• Clear communicator who can collaborate effectively with non-technical teams


• Preferred
• Experience with survey data, polling, or quantitative research workflows
• UI/UX/front end design or implementation experience
• SQL and database experience (e.g., Redshift, Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake)
• Familiarity with Git/version control
• Experience building evaluation frameworks for AI systems
• Experience in political polling or public opinion research
