JOB OVERVIEW

About us:

We are an Australian company that inspects and repairs hard surfaces for commercial properties. We operate across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and we already have a great team in Manila.

We are building an AI-powered operations system, and we want one skilled person to own it long term. This is not a VA role and not a short project. It is a permanent seat on our team.

What you'll do:

Build and maintain automations in n8n, and AI Agents, connecting Pipedrive, Google Workspace, Connecteam and other tools via their APIs.

Build AI agents and LLM workflows for call processing, quoting, reporting and daily operations.

Use Claude Code every day to write, edit and debug JavaScript.

Make every automation safe to run unattended, with error handling, alerts, validation and approval steps

Document everything in GitHub so the owner can make changes himself using Claude Code

You must have:

Real, hands-on experience with n8n, with workflows running in production for real businesses

Confidence with JavaScript. No computer science degree required, but you must be able to read and understand code, not just copy and paste it.

Daily use of Claude Code, Cursor or a similar AI coding tool

AI agents or MCP servers you've built

The judgement to spot when AI output is wrong, and the habit of testing before shipping

Solid experience with REST APIs, webhooks, JSON and Git

Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to work without being told what to do next

Excellent written English

Nice to have
Pipedrive, Google Apps Script or AppSheet experience
python

What we offer

Long-term, full-time, permanent work with one employer
Direct access to the company owner, with no middle management
Real ownership of the systems you build
Paid Philippine holidays, 13th month pay, and annual leave
A budget for the AI tools you need

HOW TO APPLY — read carefully

Applications that skip these steps will be deleted without reply.

Start your message with the word FOOTPATH so I know you read this.

Send links or screenshots of 2–3 automations you have built. For each one, tell me: what it does, what you personally coded (rather than dragged and dropped), and one thing you did to make it safe to run unattended.

Answer this question in 3–4 sentences: You ask an AI to write a script that updates 400 records in a CRM. It runs and reports success. How do you check it actually did the right thing before you trust it?
Tell me which AI coding tools you use and how often.

Shortlisted candidates will do a small test project, then have a video call with me to walk through their work.
