About flowio
We're flowio (
), and we're experiencing exciting growth in the
AI automation space
. We're building intelligent systems that help businesses work smarter, and we need someone to grow with us.
The Opportunity
We're looking for our first AI Automation Specialist
to join as a
contractor
role. This isn't your typical corporate gig - you'll be working directly with our founder, building real AI solutions from day one, and shaping how we deliver automation projects to our clients.
This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone who wants to develop their skills in a fast-moving, project-driven environment. If you're the type who gets excited about making AI actually useful (not just talking about it), we want to hear from you. We're looking for someone who thrives with technical projects, knows their way (or can learn) around APIs, CRMs, can write custom Javascript/Python functions, and is familiar with low/no-code workflow platforms. An understanding of building robust, secure and auditable workflows is a must for this role.
We have a range of fantastic client projects across a variety of businesses including energy, financial services, hospitality, partnerships with digital agencies and service based businesses - each solution we build is bespoke and will give you exposure across a diverse range of business challenges.
What You'll Be Doing
* Building n8n and low-code workflows from project briefs
* Creating AI automations including voice systems, chatbots, and AI agents
* Integrating CRMs, databases, and third-party tools via APIs
* Working directly with the founder to deliver client projects
* Taking ownership of builds from brief to deployment
* Problem-solving when automations need creative solutions
* Updating build documentation to keep clients up to date
* Explaining technical solutions to clients
You're a Great Fit If You:
* Have hands-on experience with
n8n
and/or Make/Zapier (even personal projects count)
* Are early in your career or have
equivalent practical experience
* Can
work with or learn APIs
and aren't scared of documentation
* Understand how to connect AI models (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) to real workflows
* Can work independently once you have a brief
* Can
independently problem solve
and
foresee edge cases
in your workflows
* Understand how to implement
Evals
and
error logging
* Love the idea of building something new rather than maintaining legacy systems
* Know your way around basic code e.g.
JSON
,
JavaScript
,
Python
,
SQL
* Are comfortable with async communication and remote work
* Want to
grow your skills in AI automation
It's Best Not To Apply If:
* You are not UK based
-
or do not have the right to work in the UK
* You have never built a workflow in a tool like Zapier, n8n, Make
* You intend to submit AI generated applications without disclosure, or rely on AI outputs without validating accuracy/security.
Nice to Have:
* Experience with AI voice systems (Twilio, Vapi, Bland AI, ElevenLabs, etc.)
* CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel)
* Basic JavaScript/Python knowledge for custom code nodes
* Experience with databases (NocoDB, Supabase, Edge Functions etc.)
* Experience with Notion for documentation
* Previous contractor or freelance experience
The Essentials
* Location:
Must be UK-based, remote working. Scotland-based is preferred due to potential in-person or client time that may be required.
* Commitment:
2-3 days per week (flexible days, project-based)
* Contract:
Initial 3-month term, rolling monthly contract thereafter
* Rate:
£1,500-£2,200 per month (or day rate negotiable depending on experience and availability)

ASAP
* Engagement: Contractor (outside IR35, subject to SDS).

Why This Role is Different
* Direct access to the founder - no layers of management
* Real projects, real impact from day one
* Flexibility to work around your schedule
* Opportunity to shape our automation practice as we scale
* Learn while you earn - exposure to diverse client projects
How to Apply
Send us:
1. A brief message about why you're interested including your CV
2. Examples of automations you've built (n8n workflows, Make scenarios, anything you can share)
3. Your availability and preferred working pattern
Application Process
* 15 minute chat
with the founder to understand your experience
* 45 minute video call
to run through a workflow you've built
