n8n Workflow Architect + AI Automation Engineer AI Operations System (Long-Term Build)

n8n Workflow Architect + AI Automation Engineer AI Operations System (Long-Term Build) About the Project We are building an AI-powered operations system for a marketing agency that orchestrates multiple data sources and platforms through automation and AI. The system integrates across multiple data sources covering SEO performance and keyword intelligence, local search and citations, web analytics and traffic, and social media activity. Tools include established platforms such as SEMrush and BrightLocal, alongside Google's marketing data APIs and AI-powered content services. This data will be unified, analyzed, and used to generate operational actions automatically. Objective The objective is to build a system that replaces the manual operator responsible for reviewing performance data, identifying meaningful changes, and determining what actions should be taken next. All outputs must follow the framework: Insight → Action → Measurable Impact Generic outputs such as "improve performance" or "increase engagement" are not acceptable. All outputs must be specific, actionable, and tied to a clear outcome. Scope The system will: Pull data from multiple external platforms via API Normalize and structure that data Apply rule-based change detection Use AI to analyze performance and generate actions Output structured, actionable recommendations Support multiple clients and locations We are intentionally not prescribing a rigid build structure. We are looking for a developer who can help define the most effective architecture and implementation approach. What We Are Looking For We are seeking a workflow architect, not a basic automation builder. The right candidate will understand how to design systems, not just connect tools. This includes experience with multi-source API orchestration, AI-driven decision workflows, and scalable, modular workflow design. Required Experience Strong experience with n8n in production environments Experience with API integrations (REST, webhooks, authentication flows) Experience integrating AI into workflows (Claude, OpenAI, or similar) Experience working with structured data (spreadsheets or databases) Experience building multi-step, branching workflows Experience implementing error handling, retries, and logging Experience integrating with SEO and local search platforms (SEMrush, BrightLocal, Ahrefs, Moz, Whitespark, or similar) is a strong plus Engagement Approach We are looking for a developer who can evaluate the system requirements, propose an architecture, recommend how the build should be structured, and provide a realistic estimate of timeline and cost. This is expected to evolve into a longer-term engagement. Detailed technical specifications and tool stack will be shared with shortlisted candidates. We are looking to begin within the next 1 to 2 weeks. To Apply Please include the following in your proposal: Your hourly rate or fixed-fee preference Your estimated timeline and overall approach How you would structure this system (phases, milestones, or other approach) and why A description or screenshot of a complex n8n workflow you have built Your experience integrating AI into workflows How you ensure AI outputs are structured and actionable rather than generic Whether you are interested in a longer-term partnership Whether you have current capacity to begin within the next 1 to 2 weeks To confirm you read this post, begin your proposal with: Systems thinking over node connecting Final Note This is not a simple automation project. We are building a system intended to become the operational backbone for managing and optimizing performance across multiple clients. We are looking for someone who can think at the system level and help shape how this is built. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
