AI Automation Engineer – Build AI-Powered Opportunity Detection & Outbound Workflows

Overview I’m looking for an AI Automation Engineer to build AI-powered workflows that automatically identify qualified sales opportunities, personalize outreach, launch outbound campaigns through Smartlead, and generate daily reports. This is not a chatbot project. I’m looking for someone who has experience building production-ready AI workflows using APIs, automation platforms, AI models and outbound sales tools. This is Version 1 of a larger project, and I’m looking for someone I can continue working with long-term if the collaboration goes well. ⸻ Workflow 1 – Reputation Outreach Objective Build a workflow that automatically identifies qualified businesses that have recently received a new negative review, generates personalized outreach, and adds them directly into a Smartlead campaign.
