📄 Job Overview I am a solo real estate investor and full-time trader building a secure, always-on AI operations assistant using OpenClaw. This is a Phase 1 implementation focused on secure deployment, limited automation, and human-in-the-loop workflows. This is not an enterprise-scale build and not a fully autonomous system. The goal is to create a stable, secure foundation that can expand in future phases. I am seeking a senior developer with experience deploying OpenClaw (or similar autonomous agent frameworks) in secure environments. 🎯 Phase 1 Scope of Work 1️⃣ Secure Environment Setup Deploy OpenClaw on a dedicated VM or isolated environment (not my primary machine) Configure Docker or appropriate containerization Implement security hardening: Least-privilege configuration Service account isolation Secure storage of API keys Restricted external access / firewall configuration Enable logging of all agent activity 2️⃣ Model Integration Connect OpenClaw to OpenAI API (or equivalent model endpoint) Configure baseline agent behavior and task orchestration Establish safe default operational rules 3️⃣ WhatsApp Integration Integrate secure WhatsApp messaging access Restrict interaction to approved account(s) only Ensure reliable remote access from mobile 4️⃣ Initial Business Automations (Limited Autonomy) Implement: Daily scheduled summary (email / calendar / tasks overview) Inbox summarization and task extraction Draft-only email generation (no auto-send) Morning and evening scheduled execution ⚠️ No financial transactions ⚠️ No trade placement ⚠️ No banking integrations ⚠️ No autonomous money-moving capabilities All execution actions must require manual approval. 🔒 Security & Operational Requirements Security-first mindset required No proprietary black-box dependencies No developer-controlled hosting environments Clear separation of credentials All accounts and services must be created under client ownership 📜 Ownership & Deliverables Requirements All work produced under this contract must be fully owned by the client upon completion. Final deliverables must include: Full source code access (repository transfer or full export) All configuration files Infrastructure setup documentation Step-by-step deployment instructions List of all dependencies and services used Transfer of all credentials to client-controlled accounts Architecture overview diagram Basic operational guide (how to use, restart, maintain) The system must be deployable independently without reliance on developer-owned infrastructure. 🧠 Ideal Candidate Experience deploying OpenClaw or similar agent frameworks Strong DevOps background (Docker, VM isolation, networking) Experience integrating OpenAI API Knowledge of secure key management and identity isolation Able to clearly explain architectural decisions Comfortable building phased systems Bonus: Experience with trading APIs Experience building automation for small businesses 📈 Future Phases (Not Included in Phase 1) Real estate contractor workflow automation Reporting dashboard generation Trading read-only monitoring Voice interface integration Multi-agent orchestration expansion Future expansion possible based on performance and results. 📬 Application Requirements Please include: Description of relevant agent deployments you’ve completed Explanation of how you would secure this system Estimated timeline for Phase 1 Any clarifying questions about the scope
