AI Automation & Agent Specialist (Claude / GPT) for Retail/E-Commerce Brand

I run a retail/e-commerce brand on Shopify and a wedding point of sale. I'm hiring someone to build automations and AI agents that replace repetitive work across the business. I want a builder who can look at how we operate, identify what should be automated, and build it — automations, AI agents, or the hardware/tooling setup needed to run them reliably. WHAT YOU'D BUILD - AI agents and automations that take repetitive tasks off our plate end-to-end - Integrations across our stack (Shopify, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Google, Meta, and the other tools we run on) so data and actions flow without manual copy-paste - Automated reports and internal docs we currently pull together by hand - Internal ops: updates, data entry, routing, cleanup - Customer-facing: outreach, support, follow-ups, lifecycle - Bottom line: anything we do over and over, I want automated YOU'RE A STRONG FIT IF YOU - Have shipped working automations or agents for real businesses (not just demos) - Are fluent with LLM APIs (Claude and OpenAI/GPT) and can explain when to use which - Know automation platforms (Zapier / Make / n8n) AND can drop into code (Python or JavaScript) when no-code hits a wall - Can own a problem end-to-end, including any setup or infrastructure needed to make it run - Communicate clearly and proactively BONUS - Experience connecting AI directly to tools (MCP, function calling, API integrations) - Experience with Shopify e-commerce / DTC brands and tools like Klaviyo, HubSpot, or Meta - You obsess over reliability: handling errors, edge cases, and things that break HOW TO APPLY (please read) 1. Start your proposal with the word AUTOMATE so I know you read this. 2. In 3-4 sentences, describe one automation you built for a business: the manual task it replaced and the result (time saved, money saved, errors reduced). 3. Include a link, screenshot, or short Loom of something you've actually built. 4. No generic copy-paste proposals. We'll start with a small paid test task. If it goes well, there is ongoing work.
