Hiring Coach.ai is a one‑person company shipping a real AI coaching product to real users. Our biggest constraint is the founder’s time — specifically, the time it takes to go from a raw idea in a Notion doc to a published post on Linked In or Tik Tok. That whole pipeline today is manual, slow, and brittle.

You will fix that. By the end of the summer, an idea typed into a single inbox should turn itself into a draft post, get reviewed once by the founder, and publish to the right channels — without anyone touching a CMS button.

This is a builder role, not a research role. You’ll write code, wire APIs, and put working automations in the founder’s hands every week.

The end‑to‑end deliverable: an “idea → published post” pipeline. You decide whether that lives as n8n flows, a custom Python/Type Script agent, Claude Code skills, Zapier, or some combo. We care about the artifact, not the stack. Concretely, the pipeline must:

You’ll also:

• Build one secondary internal automation of your choice (lead routing, customer support triage, analytics digest — pitch us)
• Document everything so the founder can keep it running after you leave
• Record one Loom per week showing the pipeline running end‑to‑end on real content

What success looks like — by week 4: a working v0 pipeline. Ugly is fine. Idea goes in, draft comes out, founder approves manually, post goes live. At least one real Hiring Coach post published through your pipeline.

By week 10: the pipeline is the default way Hiring Coach publishes social content. The founder uses it daily. At least 30 real posts have shipped through it. Voice quality is good enough that
