Job description
About the Company Ajaia is a rapidly growing AI consultancy and product studio dedicated to helping organizations move from experimentation to real results.
We operate across four core pillars: AI Strategy and Advisory, AI Engineering and Automation, Workforce Training and Enablement, and Custom Product Development.
In addition to client services, Ajaia builds proprietary AI products, copilots, and vertical solutions that solve high-value industry problems.
This dual model allows us to translate hands-on implementation experience into scalable products while continuously refining our approach through real-world deployment.
Our operating model combines deep technical execution with practical change management, enabling enterprises to deploy secure, compliant, and high-impact solutions that drive measurable operational value.
From executive roadmapping to production-ready systems and workforce upskilling, Ajaia embeds intelligent tools directly into the workflows that matter most.
Mission: Help organizations win the AI moment.

You will run day-to-day IT: managing cloud environments (GCP and Azure), administering internal tools, handling device management for a distributed international team, and ensuring everything stays secure, documented, and running.

The company is AI-first, and you are expected to use AI tools to automate IT operations and accelerate your work.
This role starts as an individual contributor with the potential to grow into a team lead as the company scales.
We expect candidates to use AI in daily workflows across research, ideation, drafting, design iteration, quality checks, and delivery acceleration.
AI fluency is a core execution requirement, not optional tooling.
Base salary: Approximately $28,000–$35,000 USD per year (calibrated for target regions).
Performance bonus: Opportunity to earn up to 100% of base salary in performance-based bonuses.
Salary and total compensation depend on experience, location, and demonstrated performance during the hiring process.
