POSITION FOR Austin, TX
AI Operations Engineer
Urban Oasis is a fast-growing construction and outdoor living company based in Austin, Texas.
We design and build:
- Luxury pools
- Outdoor living spaces
- Landscaping
- Irrigation systems
- Hardscapes
- Residential construction projects
Our company is growing quickly, and we believe AI and automation will play a major role in how modern construction businesses operate.
We’re looking for an ambitious, highly motivated AI Operations Engineer who wants to help build that future with us.
This role is perfect for someone early in their career who wants hands-on experience building real systems that directly impact a growing business.
The Role

You’ll work directly with ownership and department leaders to identify operational bottlenecks and build AI-powered systems that improve how the company operates every day.
You’ll help create:
- Internal software tools
- AI assistants
- Automated workflows
- Reporting systems
- Operational dashboards
- Scheduling and estimating systems
This is a highly entrepreneurial role with significant ownership and room for growth.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
AI & Automation
- Identify repetitive workflows that can be automated
- Implement AI tools into daily operations

- Degree in:
- Computer Science

- Or equivalent hands-on experience
Strong personal projects and demonstrated AI/software work are highly valued.
The ideal candidate may not have the best GPA—but they’ve probably built side projects, experimented heavily with AI tools, and genuinely love building systems.
Who You Are
We’re looking for someone who:
- Learns quickly
- Loves AI and constantly experiments with new tools
- Enjoys solving real business problems
- Can work independently
- Is highly curious and proactive
- Has strong communication skills
- Is comfortable working directly with leadership and end users
- Is excited about startups, entrepreneurship, and building systems from the ground up
Construction industry experience is NOT required.
AI curiosity, speed, and execution matter far more than industry background.
