About Ampra
We're not just building automations. We're building a movement for small business owners who deserve enterprise-level power with startup-level simplicity.
At Ampra, we believe technology should disappear into the background—creating momentum, not complexity. We exist to make running a business easier and more energizing by helping entrepreneurs create systems that work for them, not the other way around.
Friction kills flow. We eliminate it.
The Role
We're seeking an Automation Architect who is obsessed with elegant solutions and has the technical chops to make AI-powered automation feel like magic. You'll be the builder who transforms strategic AI plans into sophisticated, reliable systems that seamlessly integrate into our clients' daily operations.
This role is perfect for someone who thinks in systems, has a bias for progress, and gets genuine satisfaction from seeing their solutions make real people's work easier.
