[Remote] AI Systems Engineer - Forward-Deployed Builder

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. AI Acquisition is a fast-moving AI company building multiple products, and they are seeking an AI Systems Engineer to tackle complex systems challenges. The role involves deconstructing workflows and building agentic systems that deliver value, while also owning the development of complex products and integrations.

Responsibilities

• Deconstruct messy real-world workflows — sales ops, marketing ops, product ops, fulfillment, support — into their underlying steps, then build the system that makes them run automatically and correctly
• Build agentic systems that ship value — agents, automations, internal tools, data pipelines, reporting/attribution — that real people and real revenue depend on
• Build product — stand up and rebuild complex products fast (think: an AI app builder, a reporting dashboard, an internal ops platform), making sharp build-vs-buy-vs-reuse calls under a deadline
• Own the unglamorous plumbing — the integrations, the data model, the tracking, the thing that has to actually work — that everything else is gated on
• Reason commercially — figure out why a funnel, campaign, or product isn't working from first principles, and fix the real cause, not the symptom

Skills

• Hands-on depth with agentic / AI engineering — building with LLMs and agent frameworks, not just prompting a chatbot
• Experience in the info-product, agency, or DTC/GTM world — you understand funnels, offers, paid ads, cold outreach, CRO, or how an agency actually makes money
• GTM engineering / automation — n8n (strongly preferred), or Make/Zapier with genuinely complex builds (branching, error handling, API calls — not 3-step zaps)
• Comfort with APIs, webhooks, JSON, and a real coding language (JS/Python/TS). You can read and debug a system, not just generate it
• Bonus: martech / sales-tech depth — CRMs (Close a plus), tracking/attribution, ESP/email systems, Whop/Stripe, multi-tenant platforms

Benefits

• No budget cap for tokens and no babysitting. Best-in-class tooling, frontier models, every AI coding harness and agent framework you want — and nobody counting your tokens.
• A real engineering org and a brilliant CTO to build alongside. You'll be in the trenches with people who are genuinely excellent — and you'll get better fast. People who join us tell us they learn more in months than they did in years elsewhere.
• Frontier work, not maintenance. Agentic systems, internal platforms, GTM automation, net-new products. You'll build with the newest models and harnesses the week they drop.
• Autonomy and ownership. Drop-a-brief-get-it-built. You own a domain end-to-end; you don't wait for a ticket.
• Top-of-market pay, paid properly and paid on time. We pay our best builders what they're worth, and we don't play games with it. (See comp below.)
• No politics. Speed, output, and quality matter more than process theater. We're direct with each other — genuine, but not soft.
