Valsoft Corporation is a globally recognized firm dedicated to acquiring and enhancing mission-critical vertical market software companies. Since our inception in 2015, we have successfully built a diverse portfolio of over 150 companies across more than 30 industries, collectively employing over 4,000 talented individuals in more than 20 countries.
We are focused on developing the necessary infrastructure, tools, and talent to transform every business in our portfolio into an AI-native enterprise. We are actively hiring across over 150 vertical market software companies within the Valsoft portfolio. The ideal candidate will be matched with a specific business where they can make a significant impact from day one, with opportunities to collaborate across multiple businesses in the future.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
As an AI Automation Engineer at Valsoft, you will tackle the most challenging problems by embedding yourself directly within our portfolio companies. Collaborating with operators, product teams, and customers, you will address complex and high-stakes challenges that cannot be resolved from a distance.
Your mission will be to optimize business operations from end to end. Whether it involves product development, internal operations, customer experience, or back-office functions, if a process is manual and repeatable, it is your target. You are not here to consult; you are here to build and implement effective solutions.
Your Responsibilities:
- Integrate with portfolio companies to assess their workflows across all departments and identify opportunities for automation.
- Transform chaotic manual processes into streamlined, dependable automated systems using AI, no-code platforms, custom code, or the most effective tools available.
- Conduct stakeholder interviews, map processes, and identify root causes before writing code.
- Design and deploy automation solutions across operations, sales, customer support, reporting, and internal tools.
- Oversee the complete delivery cycle: scoping, building, deploying, measuring, and iterating.
- Collaborate with company leadership to prioritize development efforts and clearly communicate the return on investment (ROI).
- Engage with multiple portfolio companies over time, creating a repeatable playbook for successful automation strategies.
Qualifications:
- Demonstrated experience in automating real business workflows, successful projects that have been implemented and sustained.
- Proficiency with automation tools: you know when to leverage Make, Zapier, n8n, custom code, or an AI agent, and you make the right choice based on the situation.
- Strong technical skills, capable of developing production-quality solutions, not just prototypes.
- Exceptional problem-framing abilities: you ask the right questions before rushing to solutions.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity, you thrive in situations where the challenge is identified, but the solution is unclear.
- Excellent communication skills, you can articulate what you have built, why it is effective, and its value to non-technical stakeholders.
- A self-starter who is proactive and enhances systems beyond expectations.
