Hey everyone! I just joined Contra and I'm an AI automation engineer — I build voice AI agents, n8n workflows, API integrations, and CRM automations and analytics.

Looking at the job board, it seems like 90%+ of listings are design, video editing, and social media roles. Has anyone here found success landing automation, AI, or backend development projects on Contra? Or is the platform primarily design-focused?

Would love to hear from other builders/engineers about your experience here. Thanks!

Actually I´m doing well on AI and Automation, I just wanted to try Contra since Upwork fees are significant, but I´m getting 25/30 leads per day there.

Hey Jacobo, welcome to Contra! 👋

There are definitely jobs for the AI automation, n8n workflows, API integrations, CRM stuff, and backend work you build -- they just aren’t as visible as all the design roles at first.

The more active you stay, the more you tweak your profile,...

Nice to meet you! I’m also new on Contra, focusing on GoHighLevel (GHL) and n8n automation.

I’ve noticed the same — haven’t landed an automation project here yet, but still exploring and staying consistent. Hopefully we’ll start seeing more opportunities soon 👍

For the tax document checklist, I'd match uploads to both the client and tax period before marking an item complete. How do you handle a client uploading last year's statement or a replacement after the checklist has already cleared?
