AI Transformation Engineer

Rydoo is a fast-growing international SaaS company in spend management, helping companies streamline how they capture, control and report employee and company spend.

Our platform offers expense management and accounts payable for thousands of enterprise customers across 130+ countries. We are backed by strong private equity partners and continue to scale rapidly, with a growing footprint in Europe and the US.

We are a team of ~200 people, representing 30+ nationalities. We move fast, work pragmatically and care deeply about building software for modern finance teams.

At Rydoo, AI is a key lever to improve how we operate internally: faster execution, better decisions, and reduced manual work.

To unlock this potential, we are creating a dedicated role focused on building and deploying AI-powered solutions for internal teams. You will connect data across our internal systems, create the shared building blocks that AI solutions sit on, and deliver the larger internal projects end to end. Alongside that, you will ship focused use cases with individual teams (Sales, Finance, Customer Success, HR, Product).

You are a builder, one who cares about what happens after the demo.

Your mission is to turn AI opportunities into deployed, reliable solutions that teams use every day, and to make each one cheaper and faster to build than the last by investing in shared data access, integrations and tooling.

You will not work on Rydoo’s customer-facing product, but on internal tools, automations, and workflows that increase efficiency and quality across the company.

You will collaborate closely with the AI Transformation Lead and business teams to identify needs, prioritise use cases, and deliver solutions end-to-end.

Use case development & delivery

• Translate business needs into concrete AI solutions
• Design, build, and deploy internal tools powered by AI (LLMs, automation, workflows)

• Ensure solutions are reliable, usable, and scalable

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work directly with teams (Sales, Finance, CS, HR, etc.) to understand their workflows
• Help prioritise the most impactful use cases
• Act as the bridge between what is technically possible and what is operationally useful 
• Enable teams to adopt and use the solutions you build

Product & technical ownership

• Take ownership of internal AI products from ideation to deployment
• Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and scalability
• Continuously improve solutions based on feedback and usage
• Ensure a strong focus on user experience and adoption

Tooling, automation & integrations

• Build automations using tools such as APIs, no-code/low-code platforms, and custom scripts
• Integrate AI capabilities into existing systems (CRM, support tools, finance tools, etc.)
• Leverage multiple models and providers depending on the use case
• Ensure robustness and maintainability of what you build

AI experimentation & innovation

• Strong data and integration skills: SQL, API, data modelling, pipelines, working across systems that were not always designed to talk to each other

• Solid engineering fundamentals & coding knowledge

• Company-wide scope, from finance close to sales workflows, with direct access to leadership
