I’m seeking a skilled developer for a long-term partnership to enhance and maintain a custom digital marketing workflow automation system focused on a popular visual content platform (referred to as "IG" & TT). This system is designed to streamline onboarding processes and user research tasks as part of a broader marketing strategy. A related prototype for another platform can be reviewed at request. The goal of this project is to refine an existing framework (or build from a conceptual stage) into a scalable, sustainable tool that can handle high-volume tasks efficiently while adapting to evolving platform requirements. This is not a one-time task but an ongoing collaboration to ensure the system remains robust and effective over time. Project Scope & Objectives Develop and optimize a web-based automation system for marketing research and user onboarding workflows. Create a scalable solution capable of processing large batches of tasks with minimal oversight. Build user-friendly interfaces (e.g., dashboards) for task configuration and monitoring. Integrate third-party services (e.g., data handling APIs) for seamless operation. Ensure long-term adaptability by updating the system to align with platform changes and performance needs. Potential future expansion to support workflows on other platforms (e.g., short-form video or microblogging sites). Key Responsibilities Review and enhance existing codebase or develop new scripts for workflow automation. Implement features such as task scheduling, data management, and front-end interfaces (using frameworks like React.js or Vue.js). Integrate external APIs to support system functionality and scalability. Apply techniques for efficient resource usage and system stability on server environments (e.g., VPS). Provide ongoing maintenance to address updates, troubleshoot issues, and ensure continuous operation. Document setup, usage, and update processes for clarity and ease of management. Collaborate regularly via preferred communication channels for progress updates and planning. Required Skills & Experience Strong proficiency in Node.js and/or Python for scripting and backend development. Experience with web automation tools or libraries for interacting with dynamic web environments. Expertise in API integration for connecting third-party services to custom systems. Ability to develop web interfaces and backends (e.g., React.js, Express.js) for user interaction. Familiarity with server management (Ubuntu preferred) and deployment practices (e.g., PM2, Nginx). Knowledge of strategies for optimizing performance and reliability in high-volume tasks. Previous work in digital marketing tools, workflow automation, or similar projects (portfolio or GitHub links appreciated). Partnership Details Initial Phase: 4-6 weeks to stabilize and scale the system, with deliverables including updated scripts, a basic interface, and documentation. Budget: $800-1,500 based on expertise. Ongoing Support: Regular updates and fixes post-launch at an hourly rate ($20-50/hour) or monthly retainer ($100-300), depending on workload. Future Work: Opportunities to expand features or adapt the system to other platforms with separate budgets per module. Communication: Updates via Upwork messages, Discord, email, or weekly calls as agreed. Why Join This Project? Long-term engagement with consistent work as the system grows. Opportunity to build expertise in advanced automation and web development. Add a high-impact marketing tool to your portfolio. Flexible, remote collaboration with adjustable deadlines for ongoing tasks. Tackle challenging technical problems in a dynamic project space.
