Hire the Best Automation Engineers
Lagos, Nigeria
AI automation engineer helping businesses eliminate manual work through intelligent systems — lead capture, CRM automation, AI agents, and workflow automation using n8n, Make .com, and Claude AI. A few months ago, a founder reached out after losing leads for the third time in one week. Leads were coming in from ads. Some landed in the CRM. Some got ignored. Some received replies 2 days later. The business wasn't broken. The systems were. After rebuilding their workflow with AI automation, every lead was captured instantly, qualified automatically, followed up through email and SMS, and routed to the right pipeline without any manual effort. That's the kind of work I do. I help businesses replace repetitive tasks, messy operations, and disconnected tools with AI-powered systems that run in the background so your team can focus on growth. WHAT I BUILD AI Agents and AI Chatbots Claude AI, OpenAI, and LangChain-powered agents including RAG chatbots trained on your knowledge base, AI customer support systems, and conversational AI deployed across websites, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger. Workflow Automation — n8n, Make. com, Zapier Production-grade automation workflows that connect your tools, process data, and eliminate manual handoffs. From simple webhook triggers to complex business process automation — clean, documented, and built to scale. CRM Automation — GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Airtable Automated lead capture, routing, qualification, pipeline management, appointment booking, and follow-up sequences inside GoHighLevel, HubSpot, and Airtable. AI Voice Agents AI voice systems using Twilio, ElevenLabs, Retell AI, and VAPI for inbound and outbound call automation, IVR systems, and voice-based lead qualification. Document Automation and Document AI Document processing pipelines that extract, classify, and populate structured data from PDFs and reports using Claude AI and OpenAI, including prompt-engineered extraction for financial documents and client deliverables. API Integrations and Webhooks REST APIs, webhooks, and custom integrations including Twilio API, WhatsApp Business API, Shopify API, QuickBooks API, and Google Workspace. Claude Code and AI-Assisted Development Custom automation scripts, FastAPI backends, and Supabase database integrations that extend beyond what standard no-code tools can handle. SOP Documentation and Workflow Standardization Every system I build comes with SOPs, workflow maps, reusable templates, and deployment checklists so your team can maintain and replicate the work independently. WHO HIRES ME Most clients come to me because they are tired of: Manually following up with leads and losing them to faster competitors Broken automations that fail silently until a client complains Disconnected tools with no single source of truth Slow customer response times that cost conversions Hours wasted weekly on repetitive admin work AI setups that sound impressive in demos but solve nothing in production TOOLS AND PLATFORMS Automation: n8n · Make .com · Zapier AI and LLMs: Claude AI · Claude Code · OpenAI · LangChain · Prompt Engineering · RAG CRM: GoHighLevel · HubSpot · Airtable Voice AI: Twilio · ElevenLabs · Retell AI · VAPI Databases: Supabase · PostgreSQL Development: Python · FastAPI · JavaScript · REST APIs · Webhooks · JSON Communication: WhatsApp Business API · Twilio SMS · ManyChat · Email Automation E-commerce: Shopify · Monday .com · Google Sheets Automation Document AI: Data Extraction · OCR · PDF Automation Other: Google Workspace · Google Drive API · Generative AI · AI Model Integration If you need someone who understands both AI and business operations and can turn complicated processes into simple automated systems, send me a message.

Automation engineer hiring guide
Automation engineers are critical assets for modern software teams, designing systems that reduce manual effort and improve efficiency across development, operations, and testing. Whether building CI/CD pipelines or automating QA checks, these professionals help teams scale faster with fewer errors.
What does an automation engineer do?
An automation engineer designs and builds systems that do repetitive work automatically instead of manually, usually using code, tools, or scripts. Automation engineers design and implement systems across development, software testing, and operations. They build automated systems, test frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and control processes for everything from web apps to industrial machinery.
These professionals bridge the gap between quality assurance (QA) and DevOps. By analyzing manual processes, they identify bottlenecks suitable for automation, create reusable test scripts, and establish automated deployment workflows that catch bugs earlier when they're easier to fix.
Primary tasks for automation engineers include:
Identifying tasks to automate. Finding repetitive, manual work
Building automation. Creating scripts, workflows, or systems
Testing and maintaining. Ensuring automations run reliably over time
Integrating tools. Connecting systems via APIs and workflows
Optimizing processes. Improving speed, accuracy, and scalability
How to hire an automation engineer on Upwork
When hiring an automation engineer, following a structured hiring process helps ensure you find someone with the right skills and experience for your project.
Step 1: Craft a targeted job post
A well-structured job post attracts qualified automation engineers and filters out candidates whose skills aren't the best match.
Specify your automation needs. Define whether you need functional test automation, performance testing, CI/CD pipeline setup, or business process automation.
List required tools and technologies. Be specific about the stack (e.g., Selenium, Python, AWS) to attract candidates with exact technical experience.
Define project deliverables, timeline, and budget. Include duration, milestones, and expected outcomes.
Review this software developer job description template for ideas on content and format.
If you want help getting started faster, try Upwork's Job Post Generator, powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will draft a job post tailored for your automation engineering requirements.
Step 2: Filter and evaluate candidates
A systematic review process helps you compare applicants effectively.
Use Upwork's filters. Narrow the talent pool by expertise, rate, and location.
Review portfolios. Look for projects similar to yours demonstrating relevant skills.
Check client feedback. Pay attention to mentions of technical skills, communication, and reliability and look for high Job Success Scores and talent badges.
Verify relevant skills. Look for certifications like ISTQB and hands-on expertise with your tech stack.
You can use Upwork’s instant video interviews to screen applicants for a best-fit shortlist, with Uma providing side-by-side candidate comparisons.
Step 3: Interview your top choices
Direct conversations reveal technical depth and problem-solving approaches.
Ask about their process. Have candidates walk through their workflow from requirements to maintenance.
Discuss specific tools. Ask which frameworks they recommend and how they'd integrate with your stack.
Pose situational questions. Ask how they'd handle scenarios specific to your project.
Draw from interview questions for QA engineers, software QA testers, and DevOps engineers.
Upwork Messages allows you to schedule and conduct live video interviews on the platform, with call transcripts and summaries available after the calls.
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Establishing clear expectations prevents misunderstandings and keeps projects on track. Send and finalize a contract on Upwork’s platform.
Choose your engagement model. Decide between hourly contracts for ongoing needs or fixed-price for defined deliverables.
Set clear milestones. Break projects into phases like framework setup, test creation, integration, and documentation.
Use Upwork's collaboration tools. Track time, communicate through Upwork Messages, and use secure payment processing.
Establish communication cadence. Clarify check-in frequency and how the freelancer can reach you.
