AI & Automation Developer

Job Description This is a remote position. Quick Facts • Pay: PHP 100,000–120,000/month • Location: 100% work from home • Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00am–3:00pm PHT (supporting Australian business hours) • Employment type: Independent contractor — initial 3-month contract, then ongoing month-to-month • Start: ASAP You'll work directly with the leadership of an established Australian services business, turning manual, repetitive processes into reliable AI-powered workflows and automations. One month that might mean building an agent that reads and categorises inbound client enquiries; the next, wiring up an integration between their CRM and finance system so nobody's re-typing the same data twice. Priorities are set fresh each month, so the work stays varied — and every project you ship is one leadership can point to as real, measurable time saved. This suits someone who's already built and shipped real AI-powered automations, not someone doing it for the first time. You'll work across a broad automation and AI stack — including n8n, Zapier, Power Automate, AI APIs and custom code — solving real operational problems rather than being locked into one platform, with direct visibility to leadership on the impact of what you build. It's autonomous, varied work that keeps building your AI/automation portfolio, project by project. What you'll do • Design and build AI-powered automations and agents, integrating APIs, webhooks and middleware • Connect business systems — Microsoft 365, CRM, rostering, finance and communication platforms — using n8n, Zapier, Make, Power Automate or custom-built solutions • Apply AI/LLM APIs (such as OpenAI) to real business problems, building in human review where full automation isn't appropriate • Automate repetitive admin and data-processing work — reading, categorising, summarising and transferring information between systems • Build solutions with appropriate security, privacy and access controls, including safe handling of credentials and confidential data • Test, document and maintain what you build, including error handling, logging and monitoring • Provide simple training and instructions to staff using the systems you develop • Advise leadership on further opportunities to save time or reduce cost through AI and automation Requirements • At least 2 years of professional software development, systems integration or automation experience, with strong evidence of owning production solutions • Hands-on experience applying AI/LLM APIs (such as OpenAI or Claude) in real production automation or product work • Hands-on experience building production automations using platforms such as n8n, Zapier, Make or Power Automate, and/or custom-coded solutions • Practical experience with REST APIs, webhooks and system integrations • Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to explain technical work in plain language to non-technical stakeholders Preferred • Working knowledge of Python or JavaScript/TypeScript • Experience with AI agents and tool/function calling • Experience with database and data-processing workflows • Experience with Microsoft 365, Outlook or Teams automation specifically • Experience integrating CRM, rostering, finance or telephony/SMS systems • Experience working with Australian or other international clients • Familiarity with OAuth, Git and cloud platforms • Experience producing technical documentation or training non-technical staff Benefits Offshore 24/7 has been placing Filipino professionals with Australian businesses since 2008, with over 500 professionals placed to date. We're rated 4.9/5 on Glassdoor and 5.0 on Google — candidates consistently tell us it's the support behind the placement that makes the difference.

Benefits • PHP 100,000–120,000/month contractor arrangement • 100% work from home • Monday to Friday, 7:00am–3:00pm PHT • Annual rate and performance review • Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development • Regular staff events and team activities • Direct exposure to Australian clients and business practices If you've personally built and shipped AI-powered automations using tools like n8n, Zapier or Power Automate, and you're comfortable owning a project from a vague business problem through to a working, documented solution — we want to hear from you.
