What We Are Looking For

We are seeking someone who can:

* Build reliable production-ready automations.
* Explain solutions clearly.
* Work independently.
* Deliver scalable systems.
* Reduce manual workload through practical AI implementation.

We are looking for a long-term relationship with the right person and expect applicants to think strategically rather than simply build what is requested.

To Apply

Start your proposal with:

“I have read the hourly rate requirements.”

Then provide:

1. Your actual hourly rate.
2. Years of experience.
3. Similar projects completed.
4. Recommended technology stack.
5. Estimated weekly availability.
6. Whether you recommend custom development, existing platforms, or a hybrid approach.

Additional Notes

We are happy to use existing AI systems and connect them together if that is the best solution. We are not specifically seeking custom software development if proven platforms can achieve the same outcome more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Placeholder bids, bait-and-switch pricing, and freelancers who significantly increase their rate after initial discussions will be ignored.

Long-term work is available for the right candidate.
