Automation Engineer (Contract)

Automation Engineer (Contract) DeepSense is expanding its internal operational contour. We are looking for a dedicated Make.com Automation Engineer to modernize and maintain workflows across our HR, Legal, Finance, and Operations teams. You will build high-load, production-grade logic that our core teams rely on daily. Core Responsibilities Make.com Architecture: Build, test, and deploy complex, event-driven scenarios exclusively using Make.com (incorporating routers, iterators, aggregators, and error handlers). System Integration: Connect internal platforms (Slack, Google Workspace, GitHub, ATS, custom operational tools) via Make.com . API Management: Work extensively with REST APIs, handling OAuth, custom HTTP requests, JSON parsing, and custom Make.com app creation. Reliability & Debugging: Monitor production workflows. Independently manage retries, API rate limits, duplicate webhook events, and edge cases. AI Integration: Embed AI models (OpenAI, Claude, Anthropic) into Make.com workflows for document parsing and decision-making logic. What We Expect from You Exceptional Make.com Expertise: You have deployed hundreds of complex workflows and possess advanced knowledge of the platform Deep API Knowledge: You don't just use pre-built modules; you are entirely comfortable building custom API calls and webhook integrations. Independent Problem Solving: We value a clear mind and zero-noise execution. You jump straight into execution, read error logs before escalating, and fix root causes rather than patching symptoms. Technical Breadth: Basic understanding of DevOps interactions, Python, or n8n is considered a strong plus What We Offer Outcome-Based Compensation: Payments are tied to delivered, functional tasks and system deployments, not tracked hours. B2B Contract Model: Clean and straightforward commercial engagement. Flexible & Asynchronous: We don't micromanage schedules. We establish core collaboration windows and handle the bulk of our communication asynchronously in Slack.
