Calling all google App Script NINJAs ! I’m looking for a *senior-level Google Apps Script expert* — someone who lives and breathes Apps Script and has deep experience with Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive internals. Note at the bottom of this job post is a specific instruction to follow when applying so I know you actually read this... This is NOT a generic automation role. The work involves nuanced, edge-case-heavy scripting that junior freelancers typically get stuck on (example: reading dropdown element values selected inside google word docs, parsing tables in word docs etc) **The first project** will focus on advanced operations inside **Google Docs**, including: * Parsing and extracting structured data from free-form documents * Programmatic formatting and re-structuring of Docs content * Working with **dropdowns / smart chips / rich elements** (which are notoriously difficult in Apps Script) * Writing data back into Docs in a clean, deterministic format * Syncing extracted data to/from **LLM APIs** (prompting, responses, validation) * Coordinating data between Docs ↔ Sheets ↔ external APIs **You are a fit if:** * Google Apps Script is a core skill, not something you “also do” * You understand the quirks and limitations of the Docs API vs Advanced Docs Service * You’ve handled complex parsing, document mutation, and stateful workflows before * You can reason through edge cases without hand-holding * You write clean, defensive code and explain tradeoffs clearly **You are not a fit if:** * You rely heavily on Zapier/Make.com instead of Apps Script * You struggle when documentation is incomplete or APIs behave inconsistently * You’ve only done simple Sheet automations or triggers **Nice to have (but not required):** * Experience integrating Apps Script with OpenAI / LLM APIs * Comfort designing reusable libraries and scalable script architecture * Opinionated but pragmatic about reliability and maintainability When applying if you want to hear a response from me please follow this direction (so i know you actually read this job post instead of sticking it into an LLM to generate an automated response): Include a brief description of your **most complex Google Apps Script project This will likely turn into **ongoing work** for the right person. Hiring within next few days.
