About Paramount Lead Solutions
Paramount Lead Solutions is a fast-growing innovator in automotive sales enablement. We partner with OEMs, dealer groups, and single-rooftop stores nationwide to deliver:
- Lead-generation & conversion programs
- AI-driven voice- and chat-based products
- Full outsourced BDC solutions

Our technology—and the people behind it—drive showroom traffic and convert prospects into buyers. With an ambitious target of $100 million in revenue by 2028, we’re expanding our engineering team to remove manual friction and accelerate growth.
Role Overview
As an AI Automation Systems Engineer, you will identify repetitive workflows across sales, marketing, operations, and product, then replace them with durable AI-powered systems. You’ll prototype quickly in Replit or Cursor, mature solutions on Postgres/MySQL, and deliver measurable time-savings or revenue gains.
Work location: This is a 100 % on-site position at our Des Plaines headquarters. Daily, face-to-face collaboration with sales, ops, and product teams is essential to succeed in the role.
Key Responsibilities
-
Workflow Triage & Rapid Prototyping
- Shadow a sales pod, map pain points, ship a minimum-viable automation in one week using ChatGPT, Claude, and no-code/low-code tools.
-
System Hardening & Scaling
- Convert prototypes into secure, observable services (logging, alerts, error-handling) that support 100+ daily users.
-
AI Agent Development
- Chain GPT-4o and Claude calls to generate follow-up emails, voice drops, or CRM updates—then A/B-test and iterate.
-
Debugging & Continuous Improvement
- Monitor performance, investigate failures, refine prompts, and deploy safeguards quickly.
-
Enablement & Knowledge Sharing
- Lead concise workshops so non-technical teams can adapt or extend automations independently.
- Primary KPI: hours saved or incremental revenue generated per sprint.
Must-Have Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree
- Demonstrated project in Replit or Cursor
- Solid SQL skills (Postgres or MySQL).
- Hands-on experience with ChatGPT, Claude, or comparable LLMs.
- Strong analytical thinking, clear communication, and an iterative, “ship-and-learn” mindset.
- Ability to commute to Des Plaines five days per week (no relocation assistance provided).
Preferred (Nice-to-Have)
Zapier/Make/Airtable expertise or CRM integrations (VinSolutions, CDK).
Python or TypeScript for API-level work.
Side projects with real users or revenue.
