Automation Engineer

About the Role: We're building a company where the boring work gets done by machines. That means fewer copy-paste handoffs, fewer “just ping me and I'll update the spreadsheet” processes, and more systems that run themselves. We're further along than most. We've already invested in automated process discovery tooling, so you won't spend your first six months hand-building data pipelines to figure out where the waste is. We also have a substantial portfolio of RPA automations already running in production, which you'll inherit on day one. That's the honest picture: this is part greenfield, part stewardship. You'll build new automations on our workflow orchestration and RPA platforms, plus custom code where a visual builder isn't the right tool. You'll also take ownership of an existing portfolio — stabilizing what's brittle, consolidating what's redundant, and retiring what shouldn't have been automated in the first place. The part we can't solve with tooling is people. Discovery software tells you what is happening; it doesn't tell you why, or which of the five variants is the one that matters, or that Accounting has been quietly working around the system since March. That's on you. We want someone with genuine business analyst instincts who will sit with users, ask the third and fourth question, and understand a process before rebuilding it.

What We're Looking For: You automate your own work. You've built the script, the shortcut, the pipeline that saved you three hours a week — and then you built four more. This is the single strongest signal for usHands-on with AI dev tooling. You work daily in tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, and you have real opinions about where they shine and where they'll happily produce confident garbage Business analyst instincts. You can run a discovery session, elicit requirements from someone who's never written one, and get to the real process rather than the one on the org chart. You ask the follow-up question Practical engineering skills. Comfortable in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar. Confident with REST APIs, auth flows, JSON, webhooks, and GitWorkflow automation experience. Any of the major orchestration or iPaaS platforms — the underlying instincts matter more than the specific product on your résuméWillingness to maintain, not just build. A meaningful share of year one is understanding and improving someone else's work. If that sounds like a chore rather than a puzzle, this isn't the right fit Systems thinking about people. You can talk to a controller about their month-end close, understand the edge cases they're worried about, and get buy-in before you change how their job works Pragmatism. You know the difference between a process that should be automated and one that should be eliminated or renegotiated first
