AI Automation Engineer
About the role
BL Auto Group runs 17 dealerships across Illinois and Indiana. We're building an in-house AI capability, so our marketing, sales, finance, and service teams move faster with fewer manual steps.
You'll be the first dedicated builder on the team. You design, ship, and maintain the AI tools, agents, and data systems the whole group runs on.
What you'll do
- Build AI agents and automations for marketing, sales, F&I, and service using ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude (APIs, custom GPTs, agent frameworks)
- Design and maintain a central data warehouse or data lake that unifies CRM, DMS, website, and ad platform data across all rooftops
- Build and launch landing pages for campaigns, promotions, and lead capture, connected to CRM
- Automate repetitive workflows: lead routing, follow-up, reporting, appointment reminders, review requests
- Build dashboards that give store and group leadership a clear read on performance
- Evaluate new AI tools and report plainly on what works and what doesn't
- Document everything you build so it can be supported and scaled
What you bring
- 2+ years building real projects with LLMs (work, freelance, or your own ventures all count)
- Hands-on experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI APIs
- Working knowledge of Python or JavaScript, SQL, and REST APIs
- Experience with automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, or similar)
- Comfort building web pages (HTML/CSS, or platforms like WordPress or Webflow)
- A portfolio of things you've built and shipped
- Self-starter who turns a vague business problem into a working tool
- Strong written communication and the discipline to work independently on a remote team
Nice to have
- Cloud data experience (BigQuery, Snowflake, AWS, or Azure)
- Automotive, CRM, or marketing tech background
- Experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, or dealership systems (CDK, Reynolds, VinSolutions, DealerSocket)
Why join
- Build from the ground up with executive support behind AI adoption
- Your work reaches 17 stores and thousands of customers, so impact is visible fast
- Fully remote, with direct mentorship on CRM, lifecycle marketing, and enterprise martech
- Room to grow into a senior or lead role as the team expands
