THE CROWN IS YOURS
As a Senior Automation Software Engineer, you'll design and
implement technological solutions that automate repetitive, manual
IT tasks, data movement, and reduce areas of friction. This role is
central to transforming our Enterprise IT ecosystem, driving
innovation through software engineering practices typically
reserved for product teams and leveraging newer AI technologies.
You'll work cross-functionally with IT operations, InfoSec,
Compliance, and Engineering stakeholders to deliver AI solutions
and automation that reduces toil, improves user experience, and
enhances our internal systems' scalability and resilience.
WHAT YOU’LL DO AS A SENIOR AUTOMATION SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Design, develop, and maintain automation tools and workflows
focused on the IT environment using modern engineering practices
and technologies.
Own the full software development lifecycle for automation
projects—from planning and architecture to implementation, testing,
deployment, and support.
Create and support APIs, system integrations, and orchestration
pipelines using multiple technologies like Node.js, Python, or
PowerShell, and integration tools like Boomi or Workato.
Evaluate, test, and implement newer AI-based solutions to increase
IT efficiency and reduce user friction.
Collaborate closely with IT and security teams to identify
high-impact automation opportunities and deliver scalable
solutions.
Develop front-end portals or dashboards (e.g., with React or
similar) to give IT and business users visibility and control over
automated processes.
Align coding standards, testing practices, and deployment pipelines
with our current engineering practices to ensure high-quality and
maintainable solutions with robust logging, monitoring, and
alerting.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
Experience as a technical lead or key contributor on software or
automation teams.
Strong programming skills in Node.js or Python; experience with
PowerShell or Bash scripting is a plus.
Experience deploying scalable, reliable, and secure Generative AI
applications using OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or Google Gemini.
Deep understanding of APIs, system integration patterns, and
automation frameworks.
Strong relational database skills (SQL, PostgreSQL, or
similar).
Front-end development experience with React, TypeScript, or similar
frameworks is preferred.
Experience working with enterprise tools such as Workday, Jira,
Microsoft 0365, Google Workspace, or other SaaS platforms is a
plus.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
tools.
