What you’ll do

Ship working systems: Design, build, and maintain services, scripts, and workflows with clear SLAs.

Automate everything: Orchestrate workflows (n8n/Make/Zapier/custom) across CRM, APIs, comms channels, and backends.

Build agentic apps: LangChain/LangGraph-based tools for enrichment, routing, triage, and outreach—with evals, guardrails, retries, and cost controls.

Scrape responsibly: Headless browsers + official APIs; rotating proxies, backoff, and anti-bot patterns (always within ToS/legal).

Connect data: Stand up light ETL/ELT to Postgres/BigQuery; implement RAG/search over internal docs; ensure freshness and observability.

Make it reliable: Logging, metrics, alerts, dashboards, and business-hours on-call for what you ship.

Document & hand off: Clear runbooks, diagrams, READMEs so others can extend your work.

Scrape → Clean → Sync: Playwright job to capture public business data, normalize, and sync to Postgres/Sheets with change detection + alerts.
