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. We're creating a new AI Enablement function inside IT to turn that energy into a shared, secure, reusable capability — and you'll be its founding hire.
We're 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, you'll 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. You're not writing the same automation five times for five teams; you're the reason nobody has to.
This role sits inside IT (team name to be confirmed), reporting directly to our Director of IT. You'll 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.
You'll 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, you'll 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 you'll build as the function grows.
Builder's core: solid programming experience and production work with APIs, integrations, identity/auth, and automation. We care about what you've shipped more than the specific stack you used.
AI as a daily habit: you've 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; you'd rather pave the road once than fix the same pothole ten times.
Business translation: you're 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 company's 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: you've built something from zero (a function, a platform, a practice), you prioritize ruthlessly, and ambiguity motivates you rather than paralyzes you.
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 you've worked in Business Technology, IT Systems, Solutions Architecture, or another internal business-facing technical role — or if you've taught, documented, or built enablement programs before.
At Factorial, we believe the best products are built when people come together, in person, to collaborate, challenge ideas, and move fast. That's why our teams follow an office-first, flexible approach.
We work on-site several days a week, using that time to connect, align, and innovate together. We also understand the importance of focus and flexibility, so we support remote work when it makes sense — whether for deep work, personal needs, or just a change of scenery. This balance helps us stay agile, creative, and closely connected, while giving everyone the space to do their best work.
Intro Call → Chat with our Talent Partner about your journey and goals.
Hiring Manager Interview → Deep dive into your product/business mindset, how you scope ambiguity, and how you use AI in your own work.
Live Challenge → A collaborative, real-life exercise on scoping and building an internal AI solution.
Final Conversation with our Director of IT → A relaxed conversation to explore vision, culture, and your growth.
The whole process is remote, using videoconferencing tools!
At Factorial, we're building the leading AI Business Management Software for companies of all sizes. Our platform centralizes key workflows across HR, Finance, Talent, Operations, and IT, freeing teams from manual processes so they can focus on what really matters: leading, growing, and taking care of their people. With over 1,500 employees across Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, we are one of Europe's fastest-growing SaaS companies, proudly headquartered in Barcelona. If you're excited to shape the future of business management technology, we'd love to meet you.
We believe in diverse talent: we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and strongly encourage people of diverse experiences and identities to apply.
We believe in inclusion: we are committed to equal opportunities and actively promote workplace inclusion of people with disabilities. If you'd like to learn more about our inclusive recruitment processes, you're welcome to indicate so optionally and we'll share additional information with you.
We own it — Own the outcome, no excuses. We take full responsibility for outcomes and act before being asked, facing problems head-on and turning "this is a problem" into "this is my plan." We're also bold communicators: we favor truth over comfort, with care, and give and receive direct feedback without deflecting.
We grow fast — Fuel progress with contagious drive — find a way, there's no plan B. We bring ambition, urgency, and momentum, and we adapt quickly when we hit obstacles instead of waiting for a perfect plan.
We partner — Influence with trust and openness. Every decision is a team decision. We build alignment and belonging, and we put the common good above individual ego.
We learn and teach — Stay curious, stay humble. We approach work with questions, not ego — actively pursuing our own learning and helping others grow, and sharing what we learn along the way.
