[Remote] AI Automation Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Valsoft Corporation is a global firm that acquires and grows mission-critical vertical market software companies. They are seeking an AI Automation Engineer who will embed within portfolio companies to identify and implement automation opportunities, transforming manual processes into automated systems.

Responsibilities

• Embed inside portfolio companies to audit their workflows across every department and identify automation opportunities
• Translate messy, manual processes into clean, reliable automated systems — using AI, no-code, custom code, or whatever actually works
• Interview stakeholders, map processes, and diagnose root causes before writing a line of code
• Build and deploy automation across operations, sales, customer support, reporting, and internal tooling
• Own the full delivery cycle: scoping, building, shipping, measuring, and iterating
• Work directly with company leadership to prioritize what gets built and communicate ROI clearly
• Operate across multiple portfolio companies over time, building a repeatable playbook for what works

Skills

• Proven experience automating real business workflows — not just experiments, but things that shipped and stuck
• Fluency across automation tooling: you know when to use Make, Zapier, n8n, custom code, or an AI agent — and you pick the right one
• Strong technical foundation — you can build production-quality solutions, not just prototypes
• Exceptional problem-framing skills: you ask the right questions before jumping to solutions
• High comfort with ambiguity — you thrive when the brief is 'this is costing us time but we don't know why'
• Strong communicator — you can explain what you built, why it works, and what it's worth to non-technical leadership
• Self-starter who moves fast and leaves systems better than you found them
