We are seeking an experienced Senior Service Automation Engineer to build scalable automation capabilities that reduce operational toil, integrate disparate systems, and enable self-service consumption within secure guardrails.
As Senior Service Automation Engineer, you are the "automate within guardrails" voice - the engineer who sees manual processes and builds automated workflows, connects systems that don't naturally integrate, and creates self-service capabilities that empower internal customers while maintaining zero-trust security boundaries.
This is a senior IC role with strategic influence - you lead through automation expertise, set patterns through implementation, and enable teams through reusable frameworks.
Key Responsibilities:
Hands-On Automation Development
- Build automation services that eliminate manual operational work
- Develop APIs, backend services and workflow orchestration capabilities
- Integrate systems across tools such as Jira, GitHub, Azure and monitoring platforms
- Create reusable frameworks and self-service capabilities with secure guardrails
- Embed zero-trust security principles (auth, access control, least privilege)
- Implement observability (logging, metrics, alerting) and testing
- Produce clear documentation and runbooks
Automation Strategy & Patterns
- Define automation standards, design patterns and best practices
- Design resilient workflows (error handling, retries, idempotency)
- Establish secure integration and API-driven automation patterns
- Recommend tools and platforms to improve automation capability
- Document frameworks and usage guidance for wider adoption
Cross-Team Collaboration & Enablement
- Partner with platform, application, security and operations teams to deliver automation
- Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort and improve workflows
- Enable teams through reusable solutions, documentation and guidance
- Facilitate design sessions to translate manual processes into automation
Essential Knowledge, Skills & Experience
- Strong software engineering background with hands-on development experience
- Expertise in workflow orchestration and event-driven architectures
- Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs and secure access patterns
- Proven track record delivering scalable automation that reduces operational toil
- Experience building self-service platforms within secure environments
- Cloud-native development experience (Azure, AWS or GCP)
- Experience integrating across enterprise tools and platforms
- Background in regulated environments with security-first mindset
- Ability to influence automation strategy and engineering standards
Essential Technical Skills
Software Development
- Proficiency in Python, Go or C# for services and APIs
- API design, authentication (OAuth2, tokens) and webhook integrations
- Event-driven systems (queues, pub/sub, streaming)
- Workflow/orchestration tools (e.g. Airflow, Temporal, Logic Apps)
- Logging, monitoring, tracing and automated testing
Cloud & Integration
- Azure services (Functions, Logic Apps, Event Grid, Service Bus, API Management)
- CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
- Security patterns (RBAC, managed identities, zero-trust, secrets management)
- Infrastructure-as-code concepts (Terraform, Bicep)
- Container basics (Docker)
