Job Description
OVERVIEW
We are finalizing an MVP for Kovian, an AI-driven cybersecurity & compliance platform for small businesses.
Chapters 1–7 of the MVP Build Guide are already implemented. We are now hiring a senior-level automation / systems engineer to:
- Complete Chapters 8 & 9
- Perform full QC on all workflows
- Conduct end-to-end system testing
- Provide written confirmation that the system is ready to onboard real clients
This is not a greenfield build. The architecture exists and functions conceptually. The engagement is focused on hardening, validation, and production readiness.
TECH STACK
n8n (core automation engine)
Supabase (Postgres + Row-Level Security)
Softr (client portal)
Slack (alerting)
OpenAI (AI summaries)
NinjaOne (endpoint events)
Acronis (backup events – partially scaffolded)
Cloudflare
Microsoft 365
Strong experience with n8n + Supabase together in production environments is required.
SCOPE OF WORK
Phase 1 – Complete Chapters 8 & 9
Including:
- Supabase RLS hardening (remove permissive policies)
- Restrict write operations to service role only
- Validate strict client-level data isolation
- Add workflow retry logic and resilience in n8n
- Improve error handling where needed
- Complete Acronis → n8n live webhook integration
- Validate architecture alignment with M365 and Cloudflare configuration (architecture review only, no tenant deployment required)
- Confirm tier-ready structure
Phase 2 – Full Workflow QC
- Review all existing n8n workflows
- Validate normalization logic
- Confirm severity classification logic
- Identify edge cases and failure points
- Apply improvements as needed
- Ensure workflows are production-grade and stable
Phase 3 – End-to-End Testing
Simulate real-world scenarios including:
