Senior n8n + AI Revenue Automation Architect Needed (Lead Capture, Qualification, Follow-Up, Booking

We are hiring a senior-level automation architect / integration specialist to design and build a production-ready lead intake and conversion system for a premium remodeling company in North Carolina, USA. This is not a beginner automation job. This is not a chatbot-only project. This is not a generic “AI assistant” setup. We need a builder who understands how to create a real business-critical lead system that captures opportunities, qualifies them, responds quickly, routes them properly, and helps convert them into booked estimates. We are looking for someone who can think like an operator, not just a technician.
