Software Engineer - Automation Team

About Signal Advisors

Signal Advisors is on a mission to solve the retirement crisis. 69% of Americans do not work with a financial advisor today, and only a quarter have a financial plan. Our team is reimagining a 60‑year‑old industry—bringing new technologies, comprehensive services, and an inspired vision to financial advisors. Supported by our incredible investors, we’ve grown from a small Detroit-based team in 2020 to over 130+ team members dispersed across the country.

As a Software Engineer on the Automation Team at Signal Advisors, you will join a growing automation team focused on building and maintaining the integration and automation layer that powers our operations. You will work across our technology stack—n8n workflow orchestration, Skyvern browser automation, CRM, outbound tooling, data pipelines, and internal ops—to design, ship, and maintain production‑grade systems that eliminate manual work and keep our business running at scale.

• Design, build, and maintain production automation workflows across our technology stack—from data sync and lead routing to internal ops processes and outbound sequencing.
• Own the integration architecture between systems: if two tools should talk to each other and don’t, that’s our problem to solve.
• Write clean, documented scripts (Python or JavaScript) when no‑code tooling hits its limits.
• Set up and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability systems to ensure workflows and integrations stay healthy in production.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, Ops, and fellow automators to identify the next 10 things that shouldn’t require a human.
• Leverage AI‑assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate development, refactoring, and automated testing.

• Systems Thinker: ability to understand how changes impact the entire ecosystem—from a broken CRM sync to a failed outbound sequence.
• Builder Mentality: write code, design integrations, and create infrastructure that scales.
• Entrepreneurial Ownership: proactively identify bottlenecks, broken workflows, or manual processes and drive solutions to completion.
• AI‑Native Operator: use AI development tools as a force multiplier, not a crutch.

• Hands‑on experience shipping production automation workflows using tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, or equivalent platforms.
• Proficiency in Python or JavaScript scripting.
• REST API fluency—you’ve read docs, built integrations, and debugged a webhook.
• Expert‑level proficiency with AI‑assisted development tools like Claude Code or Cursor to accelerate development, refactoring, and automated testing.
• Ability to leverage AI to ship features at startup speed without sacrificing architectural integrity or quality.
• Operational context—you understand how business systems connect and what breaks when they don’t.

• CRM admin experience (Hub Spot or Salesforce).
• Dev Ops experience—setting up monitoring, alerting, and observability systems (Datadog, Pager Duty, Grafana, or similar).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control workflows, and cloud infrastructure basics (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Experience documenting technical systems for non‑technical stakeholders.
