Pay & benefits

What you'll get

The AI landscape changes every month, and so do we. Curiosity and adaptability matter as much as technical skill here. You will work on high-impact problems for top global companies, build alongside a team that moves fast, and grow into a true business-and-technology leader.

• Autonomy: you own your engagements and decide how to solve the problem, with the support of accelerators and a team behind you.

• Growth: a clear path from delivery to leadership, with reporting lines that grow with the organization.

• Impact: every project is measured by the business outcome it creates.

• Culture: a team that learns in public, shares what works and moves fast.

The role

Start with the business. Engineer the change.

At Propelling Tech we do not start with technology. We start with how our clients' businesses really work, then design and build the AI, data and agentic solutions that change it. As an AI Business Engineer you will be the bridge between a global enterprise's executives and its engineers, and you will see your work reach production and measurable results.

You will work side by side with client stakeholders to understand their processes, data and pain points. Then you will redesign those processes with AI and build the end-to-end solution yourself: from data models and pipelines to GenAI applications and agentic workflows.

You will not hand requirements over a wall. You own the problem from the first conversation through to adoption and measured business impact.

What you'll do

• Work directly with client stakeholders to understand their business problems, goals and day-to-day operations.

• Map and analyze business processes end to end, find where they break down, and identify where AI can create measurable impact.

• Translate business needs into clear solution designs, and communicate them to both executives and technical teams.

• Measure outcomes and drive adoption so solutions deliver real business value, not just working code.

• Design and build AI solutions such as GenAI applications, intelligent document processing, classification, matching and decision support.

• Build and deploy AI agents and automated workflows that combine reasoning, tool use and human-in-the-loop controls.

• Use Propelling Tech accelerators and reusable components to speed up delivery across engagements.

• Write complex, optimized SQL and work hands-on with relational and cloud databases.

• Design and implement data models (e.g., Medallion architecture) and the pipelines that feed AI and analytics solutions.

• Ensure data quality and structure are ready to support reliable AI outcomes.

• Build reporting and dashboards that keep business stakeholders engaged.

How you'll work

• Location: Hybrid, with offices in Barcelona (L'Illa) and Madrid (La Castellana)

• Languages: English and Spanish, Catalan preferred

What success looks like

Within your first months you will have led a discovery with a client stakeholder, shipped a solution that is in daily use, and can show the business metric it moved. Over time you will own engagements end to end and shape how we deliver.
