AI Automation Engineer
About The Position
AI Automation Engineer (aka: Builder) We're looking for a builder who pays for themselves. Someone scrappy, who sees a messy problem and instinctively wants to solve it. This isn't a role for someone who likes to "explore AI" or "champion digital transformation." It's for someone who ships automations that return real, measurable time and money. You'll look at how we work, find the friction, and build the automated systems that let us move faster, work smarter, and do more with less. You'll spend about 70% of your time on Ark Financial's internal operations and 30% on other strategic projects with our founder, David Bull. If inefficiency bothers you at a deep level and your instinct is to fix it rather than complain about it, this role was made for you. About Ark Financial At Ark, we believe entrepreneurial families deserve more than transactions. They deserve transformation. Our Family Office Operating System (FOOS) helps families align wealth with Protection, Peace, and Purpose. As Ark continues to grow, operational leverage becomes critical. The AI Automation Engineer will design and implement the systems that allow our team to scale impact without increasing complexity. This role is responsible for ensuring Ark operates as an AI-native organization, where the right systems quietly remove friction behind the scenes.
Requirements
- The AI/LLM Layer: Prompt engineering, API integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), and model selection.
- Agent Frameworks: Building or deploying AI agents with tools like LangChain, LangGraph, or AutoGen.
- Workflow Automation: Using tools like n8n, Make, or Zapier with the judgment to know which is right for the job.
- AI-Assisted Development: Using tools like Cursor or Claude Code to be faster.
- Data Plumbing: APIs, webhooks, CRM integrations, and clean data architecture.
- You think in ROI, not tasks. You estimate the cost vs. the return before you build anything.
- You've actually built things. You have a portfolio — GitHub, a demo, a side project. You can show your work.
- You own the full lifecycle. You don't just build; you train, you document, you drive adoption. You own the outcome.
- You move at a different speed. You're constantly tinkering and shipping, not because you love technology, but because you love results.
Responsibilities
- Automating our sales process, client onboarding, and engagement journeys in our CRM.
- Streamlining accounting, reporting, and invoicing in QuickBooks.
- Improving how our team uses SharePoint, our LMS, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
