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!
