There is upstart in user-session mode running as well system wide,
thus you can add upstart jobs to auto-start on session login.

There are many locations where user-sessions jobs are read:
~/.config/upstart
/etc/xdg/upstart
/usr/share/upstart/sessions/

You probably want to place your jobs in ~/.config/upstart, yet take
example from default jobs in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/

More information in $ man 5 init
