I would recommend @boston85719 for this. He helped us bring our units down from like 40k a day. Comes across more as a full stack software developer/coder than just a bubble expert so $125.00 for an hour is super cheap in contrast with what we would usually pay for full stack dev advice.

Have you considered expanding your tech stack and integrating with Xano.com no-code back-end solutions to save up on Bubble workflows? API workflows and WU are not that great on Bubble especially if scheduled. We are expecting some big improvements and updates from bubble team in the following months regarding bulk actions and WU rules that might be too late promise to you.
I worked on an enterprise level project that by initial plan would have around 40 Backend Workflows on Bubble and ended up having just 1 Backend Workflow, all that with processing on Xano and returning back to Bubble. An excellent no-code symbiosis.
Perhaps too technical conversation fot this post but if you want someone to truly make an impact you need to at least give him a permission to only view, understand, monitor, define and then ideate, prototype, test with a solid plan that takes time and effort of an engineer or architect job title. Probably build smaller parallel solutions as substitutes to the existing inefficient ones and over time reduce your apps WU by 90% on Bubble.
I could offer myself as “view, understand, monitor, define” before “touching” and then make some proposals before “prototype, test”.
The problem your having is you can’t hire the person that’s the best at optimizing workload usage because you’re trying to find one person that is the best at optimizing and QA testing with experience with large apps. I can assure you most large app have QA testing and a pipeline to deploy changes in place. You have a serious app with no automated QA testing or someone that is checking everything so ultimately your users become the one’s that are checking for bugs. One guy won’t being able to run 500 workflows alone to ensure there are no side effects to their changes. Every app in the coding world has a CI/CD pipeline with a way to deploy to test servers and run automated tests before going live. That’s why big tech companies can hire junior developers and have them work on their codebase. You should first hire someone to setup automated testing so you can actually test your entire app before going live, then you can actually hire the best at each task, run tests, benchmark your WU against your live app with automated tests then deploy knowing there are no bugs and knowing your WU will be less. If you don’t create a pipeline your going to deploy bugs I can assure you no matter who you hire and your also going to have to wait each month to review your bill to see if you actually saved money when you can simply just know by doing it right.
