About Valsoft
Valsoft is a global firm that acquires and grows mission-critical vertical market software companies. Since 2015, we have built a portfolio of 150+ companies across 30+ industries, comprising 4,000+ employees in over 20 countries.
We're building the infrastructure, tools, and talent to make every business in our portfolio AI-native. We're hiring across 150+ vertical market software businesses in the Valsoft portfolio. The right candidate will be matched to a specific business where they can have an outsized impact from day one and an opportunity to work across multiple businesses over time.
The Opportunity
Engineers at Valsoft go where the hardest problems are — embedded directly inside portfolio companies, working alongside operators, product teams, and customers to solve complex, messy, high-stakes challenges that can't be fixed from a distance.
As an AI Automation Engineer, you'll be the person who figures out how to make a business run better end to end. The product, internal ops, customer experience, back office — if it's manual and repeatable, it's your target. You're not here to consult. You're here to build and ship.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You’ll Do
- Embed inside portfolio companies to audit their workflows across every department and identify automation opportunities
- Translate messy, manual processes into clean, reliable automated systems — using AI, no-code, custom code, or whatever actually works
- Interview stakeholders, map processes, and diagnose root causes before writing a line of code
- Build and deploy automation across operations, sales, customer support, reporting, and internal tooling
- Own the full delivery cycle: scoping, building, shipping, measuring, and iterating
- Work directly with company leadership to prioritize what gets built and communicate ROI clearly
- Operate across multiple portfolio companies over time, building a repeatable playbook for what works
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience automating real business workflows — not just experiments, but things that shipped and stuck
- Fluency across automation tooling: you know when to use Make, Zapier, n8n, custom code, or an AI agent — and you pick the right one
- Strong technical foundation — you can build production-quality solutions, not just prototypes
- Exceptional problem-framing skills: you ask the right questions before jumping to solutions
- High comfort with ambiguity — you thrive when the brief is "this is costing us time but we don't know why"
- Strong communicator — you can explain what you built, why it works, and what it's worth to non-technical leadership
- Self-starter who moves fast and leaves systems better than you found them
