Senior Automation Engineer – High-Speed Monitoring & Action System (Python)

I am looking for a highly skilled automation engineer to build a fast and reliable monitoring and action system for a slot booking portal. The goal is to monitor the portal for availability changes in near real-time and trigger an automated action instantly when a condition is met. Project Requirements: * Detect changes as fast as possible (low latency / near real-time) * Trigger automated actions immediately after detection * Handle 100+ pre-authenticated accounts efficiently * Ensure stability, reliability, and speed Technical Expectations: * Strong experience with Python * Experience with Playwright / Puppeteer (preferred over Selenium) * Knowledge of async programming (important for speed) * Experience with handling sessions, cookies, and dynamic portals * Ability to optimize performance and reduce delays Nice to Have: * Experience working with high-speed or low-latency systems * Familiarity with API/network-level requests (not only UI automation) * Experience with scalable or parallel systems Project Scope: * Build a monitoring system for the slot booking portal * Implement multi-account handling * Add automated action trigger * Optimize for speed and performance Context: The portal uses standard web security protections. The solution should be robust, reliable, and operate within acceptable usage and compliance boundaries while maximizing performance. Important: This is not a basic automation task. I am specifically looking for someone who understands performance optimization and can build efficient systems. To Apply: * Share similar work you’ve done * Explain how you would approach building this system * Mention tools and architecture you would use I prefer clear communication and fast execution. Looking to start immediately.
