Automation Engineer

READ THIS BEFORE APPLYING – AUTOMATION & OPERATIONS ROLE

MOST PEOPLE SHOULD NOT APPLY

If you are looking for:

Clear step-by-step instructions
Someone to tell you exactly what to do every day
A calm, predictable job where nothing breaks
“Work-life balance” as the primary goal
A company with polished SOPs and perfect systems

Stop reading. You will fail here.

This is not a support role.
This is not a training role.
This is not a comfort role.

Who We Are (No Sugarcoating)

We operate fast, real businesses in real estate, marketing, investor operations, and automation.

That means:

Priorities shift
Systems are incomplete
Automations break
Ideas come before documentation
Execution matters more than feelings
You will inherit messy workflows built by people who move faster than they document.
We do not babysit.
We do not micromanage.
We do not slow down to protect feelings.

If you need stability to feel safe, this is not your place.

The Role (What You’re Actually Signing Up For)

This is not a “run Zapier and chill” job.

You will:

Fix automations that technically work—but fail in real life
Build workflows with missing context and imperfect inputs
Translate vague statements like:
“This should just happen automatically” into functioning systems
Debug problems no one else can explain
Make decisions without asking permission every 10 minutes

You’ll work with:

Zapier / Make
Google Sheets & Apps Script
CRMs
AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, APIs)
Whatever tool solves the problem fastest

Some days will feel chaotic.
Some days you’ll feel unstoppable.
Some days you’ll question whether you’re good enough.

That’s normal here.

The Environment (Be Honest With Yourself)
Instructions will be incomplete
You will be expected to think
You will be trusted with responsibility
You will not be praised for effort
You will be noticed only for outcomes
If something breaks and you panic, you’re done.
If something breaks and you hide it, you’re done faster.

Who This Job Is NOT For

People who wait for instructions
People who need reassurance to function
People who blame “lack of clarity”
People who say “that’s not my job”
People who need structure before action
People who collect tools but don’t ship results

If you’ve quit jobs because:

“The founder changed his mind”
“There was no structure”
“I wasn’t told what to do”
This role will expose you.

Who This Job IS For

You think in systems, not tasks
You move without permission—but with judgment
You get irritated by inefficiency
You enjoy fixing broken things
You automate yourself out of work

You’ve probably:

Built workflows no one asked for because they were obvious
Fixed problems before they became visible
Failed quietly, learned fast, and shipped anyway
You don’t need motivation. You need problems to solve.

Expectations (Non-Negotiable)

You are judged on output, not effort
You are expected to proactively improve systems
You must communicate clearly and early
You must be comfortable saying:
“This is broken—and here’s how I’m fixing it.”

Mistakes are acceptable.
Excuses are not.

The Upside (Why the Right Person Wins)

If you survive and perform:

You gain real operational leverage skills
You work directly with decision-makers
You design systems that actually matter
You grow faster than in any “safe” job

This role can evolve into:

Senior Operations
Automation Architect
Right-hand operator

But nothing is guaranteed. You earn everything.

How to Apply

Do NOT send a generic resume.

Answer these clearly and honestly:

What’s the messiest system you’ve ever fixed—and how?
What automation are you most proud of, and why?
What frustrates you about most companies you’ve worked for?
What tools do you actually know how to use—not just heard of?

Short, sharp answers > polished fluff.
If your answers are vague, lazy, or rehearsed—we’ll know.

Final Warning

This is not a safe job.
It is not a lifestyle job.
It is not for everyone.

If this post made you uncomfortable—good.
If it made you excited—apply.

Most people shouldn’t.
That’s the point.
