We're hiring an Automation Engineer for Pearl, which finds exceptional talent from around the world, trains them to be AI-native, and places them into operational roles at startups as managed contractors: from client-facing roles to software engineers to executive assistants. We're 3x founders who've bootstrapped our company to a couple million in ARR and are adding six to seven figures in net new annualized revenue each month. Our clients span venture-backed tech and healthcare, including fast-growing startups and phenomenal US-based businesses that have raised over $3B in funding from Sequoia, a16z, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and other top VC firms.
Today we're roughly 50 people managing a few hundred talents, growing fast and into new verticals. We started Pearl because we believe that even though opportunity isn't created equal in the world, ambitious talent is. And our goal is to scale Pearl to $100M in ARR bootstrapped by placing 2777 operators into top startups in the next 3 years.
Location: Remote-first, with meaningful overlap with US business hours
Purpose of Your Role




Pearl runs on automation. Candidate profiling, CRM hygiene, client reporting, talent operations — a meaningful share of the business moves through n8n, Zapier, and a long tail of low-code glue. That got us here, and it will not get us to $100M.
Your job is to move Pearl's business-critical workflows off no-code and onto a code-first foundation: version-controlled services, durable orchestration, real observability, and recovery paths that don't depend on someone noticing a workflow went red. You'll be handed automations that work until they don't, and you'll return infrastructure that can be tested, monitored, and safely operated by an engineering team.
This is not a "wire up another Zap" role. You're rebuilding the operating substrate of the company.
What You'll Own
Migration from No-Code to Code
Own the transition of business-critical automations off n8n, Zapier, and similar platforms in
