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:
-Critical events
-Moderate events
-Informational events
-Backup failures and successes
Validate:
-Correct database storage
-Proper Slack alert behavior
-AI summaries generate correctly
-Weekly reports compile reliably
-Client portal displays correct, isolated data
-No cross-client data leakage
DELIVERABLES
Written QC summary (issues found + fixes applied)
Testing summary (scenarios executed + outcomes)
List of workflow improvement recommendations
Explicit confirmation that the system is ready to onboard live clients
IDEAL CANDIDATE
