Hiring: AI Automation Engineer (Contract, 1-Month Project)

Gunness and Associates

Toronto, ON

Company: Gunness & Associates

Engagement: One-time project, approx. 1 month

Location: Remote

Availability: Must overlap with 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST for calls and updates

Overview:

We run our own AI assistant platform, similar to Vapi, where we build and manage different assistants. We now need an experienced engineer to build a WhatsApp AI assistant that handles both inbound and outbound conversations. This is a fixed-scope project, not a full-time role.

Project Scope:

* Build a WhatsApp AI assistant for inbound conversations (answering queries, qualifying leads, booking or routing)
* Build outbound messaging flows (follow-ups, reminders, template messages, campaigns)
* Set up and configure the Meta WhatsApp Business / Cloud API, including message templates and webhooks
* Build the n8n workflows that connect WhatsApp, the AI assistant, and our platform
* Connect the assistant to our existing platform and CRM so conversations and lead data are logged
* Add a knowledge base (RAG) so the assistant answers from our own content
* Test, fix issues, and hand over with clear documentation

Requirements:

* Proven hands-on experience with n8n (APIs, webhooks, logic, code nodes)
* Hands-on experience with Vapi or similar voice/AI assistant platforms
* Hands-on experience with Meta WhatsApp Business / Cloud API (templates, webhooks, approvals)
* Experience building AI agents with LLMs (OpenAI or similar) and prompt engineering
* Working knowledge of RAG, embeddings, and vector databases
* Comfortable with JavaScript or Python, JSON, and REST APIs
* Past WhatsApp bot or AI assistant projects you can show us

Nice to Have:

* Experience with Twilio or other WhatsApp BSPs
* CRM integration experience
* Background in sales, support, or lead qualification automation

Deliverables:

* Working inbound and outbound WhatsApp assistant, live on our platform
* n8n workflows exported and documented
* Short handover session with our team
