About the Company

Who We Are
CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK’s most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations while putting our people first. We have offices in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester and London, and remote employees located throughout the country.

About The Role And Team

We have an immediate, short‑term need for a senior‑level contractor to build a bespoke AI‑powered tool that helps automate the URL redirect mapping process for a large‑scale web migration project. The solution must be a fast, standalone build delivered by a solo contractor, producing a functional data pipeline quickly.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Ingest data by connecting to a WordPress VIP API to pull content from numerous source websites.
  • Analyze the content of each source page using an LLM for semantic analysis and matching.
  • Compare that analysis against a manually provided spreadsheet (CSV/Excel) that defines the new destination site structure.
  • Output a final structured spreadsheet (CSV/Excel) that maps the "Source URL" to the most relevant "Destination URL," including a confidence score for manual review.
We’d Love To Talk To You If
  • You are a contractor who can operate independently. The ideal candidate is a hybrid specialist with a strong background in both backend development and data science.
Core Competencies Must Include
  • Data pipeline development: proven experience building data ingestion pipelines, specifically working with third‑party REST APIs.
  • Generative AI & NLP: hands‑on experience using LLMs for semantic matching, classification, and outputting structured JSON.
  • Solo operator: must be a self‑managing problem solver who can pivot between technical approaches to get the job done without heavy oversight.
Technical Stack
  • Language: Python, TypeScript, or .NET are all acceptable.
  • Working with: OpenAI Batch API, WordPress API.
  • Hosting/DB: familiarity with a SaaS database (e.g., Supabase) for data persistence.
