[Hiring] Senior Automation & API Engineer @How to Manage a Small Law Firm

Role Description

We are looking for a highly technical, highly creative Senior Automation & API Engineer who loves making systems talk to each other, building things that didn't exist yesterday, sell stuff, put butts in seats for workshops, and occasionally making the rest of us say: “Wait. You can DO that?”

This is not a traditional IT position. And it's definitely not a “here's a ticket, please code exactly what we described” kind of job. We want a builder, inventor, experimenter, and creative problem solver who can take a business problem, or sometimes just a half-baked “Wouldn't it be amazing if…?” and figure out how to turn it into something real.

You'll work heavily with APIs, AI, agentic automations, GoHighLevel, Replit, Lovable, Hermes agents, and whatever new tool appeared on the internet approximately 14 minutes ago. We move fast. Technology moves faster. We want someone who thinks that's fun. We help people, to help them we need them to show up, so we build tech that helps us help people.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, connect, automate, experiment, and occasionally perform minor technological miracles.
• Build applications, landing pages, marketing automations, internal tools, dashboards, prototypes, and utilities using Replit, Lovable, and similar AI-powered development platforms.
• Build sophisticated integrations with GoHighLevel (GHL).
• Work extensively with the GoHighLevel API.
• Design and build agentic automations that can reason, make decisions, use tools, take actions, and move work forward.
• Build and orchestrate AI agents and multi-agent workflows.
• Build and experiment with Hermes or other agents.
• Connect AI agents to APIs, databases, CRMs, internal systems, and external tools.
• Create systems where agents can perform useful business work, not just chat.
• Build and consume REST APIs.
• Create and manage webhooks.
• Work with OAuth, API keys, tokens, permissions, and authentication.
• Design workflows that move data reliably between multiple systems.
• Integrate AI models and AI services into real business processes.
• Build custom solutions when the thing we want doesn't conveniently exist.
• Prototype ideas quickly and figure out what's possible.
• Turn repetitive human work into intelligent automated workflows.
• Troubleshoot integrations and figure out why something decided to stop working at 2:17 Tuesday afternoon.
• Monitor automations so they don't quietly go rogue.
• Document what you build so nobody has to perform digital archaeology six months later.
• Constantly look at how we work and ask: “Could we make this smarter, faster, simpler, or automatic?”

Qualifications

• Very good at APIs.
• Comfortable with REST APIs, JSON, Webhooks, OAuth 2.0, API authentication, GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE, Rate limits, Pagination, Error handling, Logging, Databases, Data mapping and transformation, Git/version control, Testing, Debugging, Integration architecture.
• Experience with AI agents, Hermes agents, MCP, tool calling, structured outputs, memory/context systems, RAG, orchestration, and multi-agent systems is highly valuable.
• Actively experimenting with agentic AI.
• Experience with Replit, Lovable, and tools like them.
• Deep GoHighLevel experience.
• Creative problem-solving skills.

Requirements

• Curiosity and resourcefulness.
• Ability to experiment and read documentation.
• Self-sufficient in building solutions.
• Positive attitude towards challenges.

Bonus Points

• Experience with any combination of: OpenAI API, Claude / Anthropic, AI agents, Hermes agents, Agentic automation, MCP, Tool/function calling, RAG, Replit, Lovable, Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, Node.js, SQL / PostgreSQL, Supabase, GitHub, Make, Zapier, n8n, Cloudflare, AWS / Google Cloud, Twilio, Stripe, CRM architecture, Marketing automation, Data pipelines, Internal business applications.
• Currently obsessed with some powerful new tool that isn't on this list.

What Success Looks Like

Success isn't measured by how many lines of code you write. It's measured by how much better things work because of what you built:

• Systems talk to each other.
• Agents do useful work.
• Manual processes disappear.
• People stop copying information from one screen to another like it's 2007.
• Our team gets faster.
• Our data gets better.
• Ideas get tested quickly.
• Things that used to begin with: “Wouldn't it be cool if…” start ending with: “Holy crap. It works.”

Location, Hours & Travel

This is a FULL TIME remote job (not part-time, not side-gig, not “I'll squeeze this in between other things”). Full-time. Occasional travel required for quarterly conferences and live sales events. We can only hire in: AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, WA.

Final Word

This is a high-performance environment. We hire A-Players who thrive in fast-moving, entrepreneurial, no-excuses settings. We take 100% personal responsibility, and we expect you to do the same. If you read all this and got more excited (instead of overwhelmed), you might be exactly who we're looking for.
