✅ Upwork Job Post: Cloud Storage & Automation Engineer (Entry-Level / New Grad)

Project-Based | Part-Time | AWS S3 | n8n | Automation | Web Integration

Project Overview

We’re looking for a talented, early-career cloud engineer — ideally a current senior in Computer Science or a recent graduate — who wants to build a real, resume-worthy cloud project involving AWS S3, workflow automation (n8n), and secure file handling.

We are a multi-office U.S. law firm that needs a secure cloud file-storage system for client documents, along with automation workflows that integrate our website, n8n, and internal systems. This project also includes integrating AWS S3 and n8n with HubSpot so client intake data flows automatically into our CRM.

If you want a project that will stand out on interviews and give you hands-on experience with cloud architecture and automation, this is it.

What You Will Build

You will design and implement:

✔ Secure AWS S3 storage structure

Encrypted buckets

Private access settings

IAM roles for team-based permissions

Logging and monitoring

✔ Automated workflows (n8n)

Receive files from website forms or APIs

Store them in proper S3 buckets/folders

Trigger downstream automations

Create folder structures for new clients automatically

✔ Web → S3 integration

Secure upload endpoints

API/webhook handling

Serverless functions (if needed)

✔ HubSpot Integrations (CRM Automation)

You will help design simple workflows that connect S3, n8n, and HubSpot, including:

creating or updating contact records

attaching uploaded files to the correct client record

triggering deal stages or workflows based on intake events

syncing website form submissions into HubSpot

sending notifications or tasks to the team

✔ Documentation & diagrams

Simple, clear instructions so the system can be maintained long-term.

This is an end-to-end project where you’ll have ownership — and be able to point to it in your portfolio.
