Full Description
We’re launching a brand-new enterprise automation capability, and we’re looking for someone who loves turning messy, manual processes into elegant, scalable automations. As a Senior Automation Engineer, you won’t just “build bots.” You’ll own automation end-to-end — spotting opportunities, designing smart solutions, shipping production-ready automations, and making sure they run smoothly long after launch. You’ll work with modern automation tools, custom code, APIs, and AI, partnering closely with business teams, IT, and leadership. If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and real impact, this role is for you.
🧰 Your Automation Playground
RPA / UI Automation: UiPath, Power Automate Desktop, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism
Workflow & Integration: Power Automate (cloud), APIs, logic automation
Browser Automation & Code: Selenium, Playwright, Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, C#
AI for Automation: OCR, IDP, NLP, classification & extraction
Custom Builds: Scripts, microservices, reusable automation libraries
🎯 What You’ll Actually Do
🔍 Discover & Design Work with business experts to find automation opportunities worth building. Break down complex workflows, exceptions, and edge cases. Decide how to automate — RPA, workflow, APIs, AI, or a smart hybrid.
🛠 Build & Automate Develop solid, production-ready automations (not fragile bots). Automate multi-step processes like supplier onboarding and web portals. Integrate with Microsoft 365 and enterprise SaaS tools. Create reusable components so the next automation is faster and better.
🚦 Deploy, Run & Monitor Push automations through dev → test → prod like a pro. Configure attended, unattended, and hybrid runs. Set up monitoring, alerts, logs, and diagnostics. Handle credentials, permissions, and security responsibly.
🔄 DevOps & Standards Use Git for version control and collaboration. Build CI/CD pipelines to test and deploy with confidence. Help define automation best practices, standards, and documentation.
📈 Improve & Communicate Tune automations for performance, reliability, and scale. Troubleshoot production issues and fix root causes. Communicate clearly with stakeholders (yes, even the non-technical ones). Help the organization actually adopt automation — not just admire it.
✅ What You Bring 5+ years of real-world automation experience (RPA, scripting, browser automation, APIs). Strong experience automating dynamic web applications. Coding/scripting skills in Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, C#, or similar. Comfort working with APIs, auth, JSON/XML, and data transformations. Solid DevOps habits (Git, pipelines, testing). Excellent English communication skills. A problem-solver mindset and strong debugging skills
