AI Automation Engineer

Work From Anywhere in LATAM

Work Schedule: US Timezone (Flexible) | Async-first with one required daily live sync (morning or evening, candidate's choice)

Compensation Range: 2,500 – 3,500 USD/month based on experience

A multi-billion-dollar family office operating across life sciences, healthcare, and financial technology is hiring an AI Automation Engineer to build and own the AI-powered systems that create leverage for their investment team and portfolio companies.

The firm is in an active build phase — not piloting AI, but shipping it. The team is lean, intellectually demanding, and operates at startup speed. They maintain a defined backlog of automation opportunities across internal investment operations and portfolio company deployments, and need a builder who can own that backlog end-to-end without waiting for direction.

Day-to-day, this role splits between internal tooling for the investment team — outreach automation, cap table modeling, AI-driven memo generation — and direct fractional deployments into portfolio companies, where the hire gathers requirements from founders and ships working systems independently. Success at 90 days means at least one internal tool shipped and in active use; success at 12 months means proactively surfacing automation opportunities before they're requested.

Requirements

Must-Have

• 3+ years of hands-on experience building and shipping AI-powered tools, automations, or internal systems deployed in real production environments

• Active daily use of AI-native tools including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — verifiable through current role descriptions or a publicly accessible portfolio

• Demonstrated proficiency in N8N and Zapier for end-to-end automation workflow design and deployment

• Python proficiency with documented experience integrating REST APIs, webhooks, and authentication flows (OAuth, API key patterns)

• Proven track record of independently scoping and delivering automation or AI projects without product manager oversight — demonstrated through CV language such as "owned," "led," or "shipped"

• Prior exposure to financial or investment environments — PE firms, hedge funds, investment banks, fintech platforms, ERP systems, or accounting SaaS

• C1+ English (CEFR) — written and spoken fluency required for direct communication with investment partners and portfolio company founders

Nice-to-Have

• Hands-on experience with agent frameworks, vector databases, or RAG architectures (e.g., LangChain, Supabase, LangSmith)

• Basic front-end development capability in JavaScript or TypeScript for operational dashboards or reporting interfaces

• GitHub repository or published portfolio demonstrating shipped, production-grade systems (not tutorial or academic projects)

• Degree from a nationally recognized university in home country

• Prior experience working in a fractional or consulting capacity across multiple client environments simultaneously
