Role Description 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 and direct fractional deployments into portfolio companies: - Outreach automation - Cap table modeling - AI-driven memo generation 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. Qualifications - 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 Requirements - 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 Benefits - Competitive Salary: Based on experience and skills - Remote Work: Fully remote—work from anywhere - Team Incentives: Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on-time reporting - Generous PTO: In accordance with company policy - Health Coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full-time employees - Direct Mentorship: Guidance from international industry experts - Learning & Development: Ongoing access to resources for professional growth - Global Networking: Connect with professionals worldwide Company Description Pearl works with the top 1% of candidates from around the world and connects them with the best startups in the US and EU.
