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.

This is how you can create a great Contra application too.

Here is a walkthrough of why @Sevd Atas stood out, what made me say yes on the spot, and the three things that will make clients instantly excited to work with you.

Because yes, you can (and should) make people fall in love with your work even before you even hit apply!

P.S. Re-sharing this because I know a lot of new people have joined Contra recently and I’m so excited for all of us to get more work!

Hey, I’m new to Contra. I’ve applied to some developer jobs, and I’m currently on the free plan. Is there any way to know whether a client has opened my proposal or not?
