Include “AI automation is cool” in the subject line. Otherwise, your application will be disqualified.\nYou will own the full path from process discovery through build, rollout, monitoring, documentation, and measured adoption. A demo is not done. The system must work for the people who depend on it.\nAbout Single Grain\nSingle Grain is a revenue marketing agency. We build pipeline-focused systems that compound, not campaigns that expire. We have helped more than 500 companies, from venture-backed startups to the Fortune 500, drive measurable growth.\nWe operate as an AI-native team. Every role uses AI to improve speed, quality, judgment, and leverage. AI systems still require clear controls, testing, monitoring, and human review.\nYour missionBuild automation systems that create at least $250,000 in annualized efficiency or equivalent documented business leverage and help double revenue per employee over 12 months.\nWhat you will own\nMap current workflows with the people who do the work.\n\nRank opportunities by frequency, time, error cost, business value, and implementation risk.\n\nBuild production automations across approved AI models, APIs, data sources, and workflow tools.\n\nAdd validation, retries, logging, alerts, access controls, and human approval where needed.\n\nTrain users, document the system, measure adoption, and close gaps after launch.\n\nTrack time saved, cost avoided, cycle-time change, quality, revenue effect, or another approved KPI.\n\nMaintain existing automations and retire systems that no longer create value.\n\nWhat success looks likeIn 30 days, you have mapped the highest-value workflows, set baselines, and shipped one useful production automation.\nBy 60 days, you have multiple adopted systems with monitoring, owners, documentation, and measured results.\nBy 90 days, the automation backlog is prioritized by ROI and your shipped systems show meaningful annualized leverage.\nEvidence we need to see\nTwo or three production automations with your exact ownership.\n\nOne measured result tied to time, cost, quality, revenue, adoption, or cycle time.\n\nAn example of diagnosing a workflow before choosing a tool.\n\nEvidence of error handling, monitoring, data controls, and human escalation.\n\nA concrete AI automation workflow and an honest account of what failed or changed.\n\nThis role is not\nA prompt-only or prototype-only role.\n\nA role that automates a broken process without understanding it.\n\nA role that reports theoretical time savings without adoption evidence.\n\nA role for unmonitored systems with unclear ownership.\n\nHow the process works\nApplication and evidence review.\n\nA focused workflow and engineering screen.\n\nThe published Beat Claude engineering challenge.\n\nA live system-design and tradeoff review.\n\nReferences and final decision.\n\nWork model and compensationThis is a fully remote, full-time contractor role. Pay is $25 per hour. State your location, working-hour overlap, and start date.\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":3166,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales & Marketing","Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Creative Agencies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T23:28:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:4","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":50000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/single-grain-ai-automation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/single-grain-ai-automation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T08:38:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13423,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":52053},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=52053"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsingle-grain-ai-automation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsingle-grain-ai-automation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsingle-grain-ai-automation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/single-grain-ai-automation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsingle-grain-ai-automation-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3553486}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"singlegrain.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3553486},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
