AI Automation Engineer
Aspire Software is seeking an AI Automation Engineer to join our growing team in Canada!
About The Role
AI Automation Engineer
This is not a research role. You will be embedded directly inside Aspire Software, working alongside portfolio company teams, understanding their operations, and building AI agents that handle real work: customer service, sales outreach, onboarding, documentation, and more. Some of what you build will replace manual workflows within Aspire’s portfolio companies. Some of it will become new revenue-generating products sold to their customer bases. Either way, it ships to real users.
Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software
The successful candidate will be based anywhere in Canada, working in a remote work model!
:
Build Internal AI Agent Teams
- Design and deploy AI agents that handle operational work across Aspire Software and its portfolio companies, including customer support tiers 1 and 2, SDR and sales outreach, onboarding automation, content and marketing workflows, and engineering maintenance
- Measure impact in hours of labor replaced or team output increased
- Work directly with portfolio company operators to identify the highest value automation opportunities
Build External AI Products
- Develop new AI-powered products such as vertical voice agents, AI copilots, workflow automation tools, and AI documentation systems tailored to Aspire’s vertical markets
- Own the product from prototype through launch, including reaching first paying customers
Ship and Iterate
- Move fast from idea to MVP to production
- Run beta tests with real users, gather feedback, and improve continuously
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams
:
What You Bring
- Proven track record of building products, tools, projects, startups, or side projects that went live
- Strong working knowledge of AI and machine learning tools, large language models, and agent frameworks
- Ability to go from zero to functional prototype quickly
- Comfort with ambiguity. You will often be defining the problem as much as the solution
- Bias toward action over planning
Nice to Have
- Experience building AI agents, voice agents, or workflow automation
- Background in vertical SaaS or B2B product development
- Familiarity with the security industry
- Previous startup or founder experience
- Experience working across multiple product lines or business units
- A bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering or a similar discipline
Why Join Aspire Software
- You build things that ship to real customers, not internal tools that collect dust
- High ownership. You define what gets built and how
- Growth path tied to the impact you create, whether that is scaling an internal AI operation or launching a product that becomes its own business unit
Compensation
- Base Salary:Competitive
- Variable Compensation:High-upside, performance-driven pay tied directly to the value you create — structured as a percentage of internal cost savings from AI agent deployments and incremental revenue from new AI products. The more impact you drive, the more you earn
- Benefits:Health coverage and a dedicated building budget for APIs, tools, and infrastructure
Ready to Build With Us?
- If you're energetic, scrappy, and ready to build something exceptional from the ground up, we would love to hear from you
Required
- Your resume
- A short note (5–10 sentences) describing the first AI agent you would build if you started tomorrow, and why
