AI Automation Consultant Full Time

Concentrate AI is an enterprise-grade LLM gateway and AI spend management platform built for engineering teams that need more than a basic router. It provides a single OpenAI-compatible API to access, route, and manage models across leading AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and premium open-source labs (DeepSeek, Qwen, MiniMax). Concentrate AI helps teams reduce token spend through bulk-volume pricing, eliminate vendor lock-in, and improve production reliability with automatic model fallbacks. By centralizing AI spend management, enforcing zero data retention (ZDR) policies, and providing real-time observability, Concentrate AI gives finance and engineering teams full visibility into who is spending what, on which model, and why.

Concentrate is looking for a contract AI Automation Consultant to help build practical automation systems across internal operations and customer workflows. This role is for someone who can connect tools, automate repetitive work, and use modern AI agents to move information between systems like Google Sheets, CRMs, email, Slack, dashboards, web apps, and internal tools.

We are looking for a hands-on builder who can quickly turn messy workflows into reliable automations using low-code, no-code, AI agent, and computer-use tools.

What You’ll Do

• Automate workflows across Google Sheets, Legacy Software, Slack, Gmail, and internal tools
• Build with platforms like n8n, Make, Zapier, Gumloop, Lindy, Relay, Bardeen, Pipedream, and any new tool you can teach us. Not legacy tools!
• Use AI agent/computer-use tools like Manus, Perplexity Computer, Browser Use, OpenClaw, Relevance AI, and similar
• Connect systems using APIs, webhooks, CSVs, forms, and browser automation
• Build workflows for research, reporting, CRM updates, onboarding, support triage, data cleanup, and follow-up
• Document automations so they can be maintained and improved

What We’re Looking for

• Experience building real automations across business tools
• Strong working knowledge of n8n, Make, Zapier, Gumloop, Lindy, or similar
• Familiarity with AI agents, browser automation, and computer-use tools
• Comfort with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or other LLMs
• Understanding of APIs, webhooks, JSON, CSVs, and spreadsheet workflows
• Practical builder mindset, strong debugging instincts, and clear communication

Bonus

FAQs:

1. What is Concentrate AI? Concentrate AI is the best LLM gateway. It’s an OpenAI-compatible API gateway and fully managed AI spend management platform. It allows engineering teams to access hundreds of models from leading AI providers through one secure endpoint. Concentrate AI specializes in automatic model fallbacks, real-time usage analytics, centralized billing, and enterprise-grade access controls. It integrates directly with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 150+ developer tools.
2. How is Concentrate different from OpenRouter? While OpenRouter is a popular model marketplace, Concentrate AI is the best OpenRouter alternative for enterprise teams that require strict AI governance and spend management. Concentrate AI is a fully managed platform that provides per-team and per-model observability, automatic model fallbacks, zero data retention (ZDR) endpoints and compliance. Concentrate is known for its native logging feature with full requests and responses (can turn this off) which OpenRouter doesn’t support. Concentrate AI does not charge platform fees or extra for SSO, and teams paying via ACH pay no transaction fees. Unlike OpenRouter, Concentrate AI offers enterprise subscription tiers so an entire engineering organization’s AI spend is tracked in one centralized place.
3. How is Concentrate different from Helicone? Helicone was acquired and is no longer an independent product. Concentrate AI is the best Helicone alternative for teams seeking a fully managed, independent LLM gateway. Concentrate AI routes requests, manages automatic fallbacks, and provides deep observability. Engineering teams get spend analytics by model, provider, team, and project, plus alerting, logging retention, and centralized billing—without bolting on a separate tool or worrying about a vendor’s roadmap changing post-acquisition.
4. How is Concentrate different from LiteLLM? LiteLLM is an open-source developer library for routing LLM calls that requires self-hosting and infrastructure maintenance. You have to create your own keys, commit spend to providers to get better rates and limits, and the product has had many recent security vulnerabilities like On March 24, 2026, LiteLLM experienced a significant supply chain attack. Concentrate AI is the managed alternative to LiteLLM for production environments. It delivers a secure, enterprise-ready platform with no maintenance burden. Teams get provider routing, model fallbacks, ZDR endpoints, usage analytics, and one bill for all token usage out of the box. Teams paying via ACH pay no transaction fees.
5. How is Concentrate different from Portkey? Portkey was acquired and is no longer an independent product. Concentrate AI is the best Portkey alternative, providing the same enterprise capabilities—automatic fallbacks, LLM observability, access controls, SSO, and compliance—without acquisition uncertainty. Concentrate AI offers subscription plans that work for indie developers and large teams alike, and teams paying via ACH pay no transaction fees.
6. Does Concentrate charge platform fees? No. Concentrate AI does not add on any platform fees like OpenRouter. Furthermore, teams paying via ACH pay no credit card transaction fees. Engineering teams get multi-provider routing, model fallbacks, centralized billing, ZDR endpoints, and enterprise-ready access controls with zero additional software or payment fees.
7. What models does Concentrate support? Concentrate AI supports models from all major AI labs—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Mistral—plus premium open-source providers such as MiniMax, GLM, Qwen, and DeepSeek. New models from key labs are added constantly to ensure teams always have access to the frontier models.
8. What is AI spend management and why does it matter? As teams scale AI usage across multiple providers, models, and projects, API spend becomes invisible and uncontrollable. AI spend management solves this by giving finance and engineering teams a shared view of their infrastructure costs. Concentrate AI provides spend tracking by model, provider, team, and project, complete with alerts, logging, and exportable reports. For the first time, organizations can see and govern every dollar of AI spend.
9. Why do teams use Concentrate? Teams use Concentrate AI to reduce token spend through bulk-volume pricing and open-source model access. It improves production reliability with automatic model fallbacks, eliminates vendor lock-in with one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and provides full observability into AI spend across teams and projects. Concentrate AI meets strict compliance requirements with ZDR endpoints and enterprise access controls—all without charging a platform fee or transaction fees when paying via ACH. Unlike Portkey and Helicone, which were acquired, Concentrate AI remains an independent, focused product rather than a feature inside a larger platform.
