[Remote] AI Automation Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Single Grain is a Revenue Marketing agency that focuses on building pipeline-focused systems. They are seeking an AI Automation Engineer to identify inefficiencies across the company and design AI-powered systems to improve productivity and revenue efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Diagnose before you build. Shadow departments, map workflows, and quantify inefficiencies in time and dollars before touching code. Identify the top automation opportunities ranked by ROI
- Ship production AI systems. Design and deploy AI agents and automations integrating LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), APIs, and workflow tools (Zapier, Make, custom scripts). Rapid prototyping and iteration are the norm
- Contribute to client revenue agents. Within the first 30 days, make production code contributions to our live revenue agent and execute a real deployment
- Document everything. Every shipped automation gets an SOP and a Loom walkthrough (Camcorder Method) so teams can operate it without you
- Drive adoption. Train users clearly, gather feedback, iterate, and track usage. Target: 70%+ adoption rate within 30 days of each deployment
- Build the intake system. Establish an automation request and prioritization framework so the team can surface and rank opportunities on an ongoing basis
- Report leverage quarterly. Track and present recurring efficiency value, cycle time reductions, and RPE impact to leadership
Skills
- You've already built something that saved real time or money — and you can tell us exactly how much. Side projects, internal tools, freelance automations, or class projects all count. Show us the receipts
- You operate at AI Power User level. You've orchestrated multiple AI tools together, designed prompt systems, connected APIs, and built automations that actually ran in production (or close to it)
- You think in leverage, not tasks. Your instinct when you see a repetitive workflow is 'how do I make this disappear?' — not 'how do I do this faster?'
- You quantify everything. Time saved, headcount avoided, cycle time reduced. You'd rather have a rough number than no number
- You communicate clearly and drive adoption without authority. You can interview a skeptical stakeholder, translate their problem into a technical solution, and train them to use what you built
- A degree in CS, engineering, data, business, or a related field is welcome — or equivalent hands-on experience. We care more about what you've built than where you studied
- Experience in agency, operations, or client services environments
- Building tools that scaled across multiple teams
- Strong product instincts
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance on the 1st of the month after you join
- 401(k) with 100% match up to 3% of your salary
- $50K life insurance policy, paid 100% by the company
- 12 weeks of paid family leave, effective after the first year of employment
- Flexible Unlimited Paid Time Off
- $100 utilities stipend, paid out as an extra $50 per paycheck
- $60 UberEats credit each month
- A MacBook
- $500 WFH office reimbursement
- Fully remote — work from anywhere
