We place pre-vetted, remote automation developers on your team who write Python and JavaScript, build API integrations and self-host n8n when Zapier hits its limits. US hours, 12-month replacement guarantee, from $15 per hour.
Every growing company hits the same wall. Hundreds of Zaps and Make scenarios, each built by a different person, chained together with no version control, no tests and nobody who understands the whole map. Task counts climb, a vendor renames an API field, and three departments lose data before anyone notices.
When you hire an automation developer, you bring engineering discipline to that sprawl. They consolidate fragile chains into code or self-hosted n8n, write proper API integrations with retries and logging, put everything in Git, and add AI steps where they replace manual review. RevHires places remote developers screened on real integration builds, working your hours and reporting directly to your team lead.
An automation developer, also called a workflow automation engineer, integration developer or RPA developer, writes the code and configures the platforms that move data and trigger actions across your business systems. They build API integrations in Python or Node.js, run workflow engines like n8n, script browser and desktop tasks with Playwright or UiPath, and add AI steps through the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. Compared with a no-code automation specialist, they handle higher volume, custom logic and systems without ready-made connectors.
Writes integrations in Python or Node.js against REST and GraphQL APIs, handling pagination, OAuth token refresh, rate limits and webhooks. Builds connectors for systems that Zapier and Make do not support well, including legacy tools, internal databases and vendor portals.
Deploys and maintains self-hosted n8n with Docker, queue mode and a Postgres backend, so high-volume workflows run at a fixed infrastructure cost. Manages credentials, upgrades and backups, and writes custom nodes when a built-in integration falls short of what you need.
Audits your existing Zaps and Make scenarios, maps dependencies and duplicate logic, and migrates the fragile or expensive ones into code or n8n. Leaves simple automations where they are. You end up with fewer moving parts, a smaller task bill and one system someone actually understands.
Adds OpenAI or Anthropic API calls for classification, extraction, summarization and routing inside larger pipelines, with schema validation, retries and confidence thresholds. Batches requests and caches results so AI steps scale with volume without unpredictable spend at the end of the month.
Automates portals and desktop apps that have no API, using Playwright, Selenium, UiPath or Power Automate Desktop. Writes selectors that survive layout changes, handles logins within your security policy, and alerts a human when a site change breaks a run instead of failing silently.
Builds scheduled syncs between your CRM, billing system, data warehouse and spreadsheets, with incremental loads, deduplication and reconciliation checks. Makes sure the revenue number on your dashboard matches the number in your billing tool every day, and flags the records when it does not.
Keeps every script and exported workflow in Git, writes unit tests for transformations and integration tests against sandbox accounts, and deploys through a CI pipeline. Changes get reviewed and rolled back like application code, not edited live in production on a Friday afternoon.
Sets up logging, health checks and alerts through Slack, PagerDuty or email, with dashboards for run counts, failures and latency. When something breaks, finds the root cause, replays failed jobs safely and writes a short incident note so the same failure does not happen twice.
Every profile includes a voice clip, enterprise background, English level and a scored role play.
Automation developer candidates complete a coding exercise that pulls paginated data from a rate-limited API, transforms it, writes it to Postgres and recovers cleanly from failures we inject. We review code quality, tests and logging, not just the output. A live session covers migrating a tangled Zapier setup to n8n or code, plus debugging a failing webhook. English writing samples and references from past engineering or ops leads complete the process.
We use the BLS median for computer programmers, the federal occupation closest to integration and automation development. It is base pay only. Adding 30% for payroll tax and benefits gives about $10,880 per month, not counting recruiting fees or equipment. Through RevHires, a full-time hire in this role typically earns $15 to $35 per hour. The RevHires figure uses the top of that range, $35 per hour at 40 hours, paid direct to your hire or through RevHires, plus one flat placement fee. Want the team managed for you? Done-for-you pricing is covered on your strategy call.

Vetted finalists with recorded intros.
Your interviews, your offer, 12-month guarantee.
One flat placement fee, due only when your hire accepts. 12-month replacement guarantee. Pay your hire direct, or through RevHires and we handle payroll.
Through RevHires, a full-time automation developer typically earns $15 to $35 per hour, about $2,600 to $6,070 per month, paid direct to your hire or through RevHires. You pay one flat placement fee, and only when you hire. Want the team managed for you? Done-for-you pricing is covered on your strategy call.
After a discovery call to map your systems, current automations and pain points, we run a custom search and deliver a shortlist of 2 to 3 candidates within 48 to 72 hours. Each candidate has passed our rate-limited API coding exercise and a live migration discussion, so your team only interviews developers who have already shown they can build integrations that hold up.
Yes. The systems are the same everywhere: HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Workspace and their APIs. Candidates are college-educated with near-native English, and many have worked at companies like Oracle, Salesforce or Microsoft. During screening we check that they ask the right questions about your business rules before writing code, which prevents most rework.
Yes. Placed developers work US business hours, so they are online when a sync fails during your workday and can fix it while your team waits. Depending on the market you hire from, your hire is 0 to 10 hours from US time zones. Monitoring and alerting they build cover overnight jobs, and schedule commitments are confirmed before candidates reach your shortlist.
You manage them directly. Talent placement is a direct hire, typically reporting to an engineering, ops or RevOps lead. We recommend tracking failed run rate, time to recover, automation spend and hours of manual work removed. Require Git, code review and tests from day one, and the quality of the work becomes visible in every pull request.
Every engagement includes an NDA and documented data handling protocols, and RevHires signs BAAs for healthcare clients. We recommend least-privilege service accounts for each integration, credentials kept in a secrets manager or the platform's credential store, and audit logging on production systems. All code and workflows live in your repositories and accounts, and you own them outright.
Every placement includes a 12-month replacement guarantee. If the developer is not the right fit within that window, tell us and we run a replacement search under your 12-month guarantee. Mismatches usually trace back to choosing between a no-code specialist and a code-first developer, so we settle that question during discovery.
See the shortlist, hear the voice clips, and get the right hire in front of your buyers fast.
