Summary

Automation Systems Engineer / Automation Platform Engineer (Contract)

Role Overview: Design, build, and operationalize automation solutions that reduce manual operational toil, improve reliability, and standardize repeatable run activities. The contractor will deliver production-ready automations with appropriate controls, logging, and documentation, and will partner with Service Delivery and SRE stakeholders to prioritize, implement, and measure outcomes.

Objectives & Scope

Identify and prioritize automation candidates (manual tasks, recurring incidents, high-MTTR activities/KPI and others assigned) in partnership with operations/SRE.
Deliver automations that are secure, auditable, and supportable (monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and handoff).
Standardize patterns and reusable components so solutions scale across domains/applications.
Quantify impact (hours saved, number of times run, defect reduction, MTTR improvement) and feed these to a dashboard for reporting.
Identify the run frequency that would indicate an underlying problem to address and setup notification for this condition.

Key Responsibilities

Automation design & build: Create workflows/scripts/services to automate operational processes (e.g., ticket triage steps, data validations, batch reruns, retries, reconciliations, reporting).
Platform integration: Integrate with enterprise tooling (ServiceNow, monitoring/observability, schedulers, CI/CD) as needed to run automations safely in production.
Reliability controls: Implement guardrails (idempotency, retries/backoff, rate limits, circuit breakers), robust error handling, and recovery paths.
Security & compliance: Follow least-privilege access, secrets management, logging standards, and audit requirements for systems and data.
Testing & quality: Build unit/integration tests, perform non-prod validation, and define acceptance criteria aligned to operational readiness.
Observability: Add structured logs, metrics, and health checks; define alerts/dashboards to detect failures and measure throughput.
Documentation & handoff: Produce runbooks, support guides, and knowledge transfer for Tier 2/3 ownership.
Stakeholder partnership: Participate in intake grooming, technical design reviews, and demos; provide weekly status and risks/issues.

Expected Deliverables

Automation backlog & intake: A ranked inventory of automation candidates with effort/ROI estimates and success measures.
Reusable automation framework: Templates/libraries for common patterns (config, logging, retries, auth, scheduling, notifications).
Production-ready automations: Delivered in increments, each with code, tests, deployment artifacts, and operational documentation.
Operational readiness package: Runbook, monitoring/alerting, rollback plan, and ownership handoff checklist for each automation.
Metrics & reporting: A simple dashboard or report showing delivery progress and realized benefits (hours saved per month/year to date, number of times run, MTTR reduction, error rate, throughput). These metrics should be available per automation and for all automations.

Required Qualifications

8+ years building automations in enterprise environments (platform, operations, or reliability automation).
Strong development skills in at least one automation-friendly language (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, PowerShell, Bash, .NET, C++), and comfort with APIs.
Experience building resilient, production-grade workflows (error handling, idempotency, retries, auditing).
Experience with CI/CD and source control (e.g., Git), including branching and code review practices.
Hands-on experience with Linux/Unix and scripting; ability to troubleshoot across logs, jobs, and infrastructure.
Understanding of security fundamentals: least privilege, secrets management, non-person IDs/service accounts, and data handling.
Ability to work from ambiguous requirements and translate operational pain points into implementable technical solutions.
Experience documenting and training others on the automations created and how they are invoked-automatically when a condition occurs or manually to address an identified condition.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

RPA experience (e.g., UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate) and/or workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow, Control-M, Ansible, TWS/IWS).
ServiceNow development/automation (Flow Designer, IntegrationHub, scripting) and ticket lifecycle automation.
Cloud-native automation (containers, Kubernetes, serverless functions) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform).
Observability tooling experience (logs/metrics/traces) and building dashboards/alerts.
Experience in regulated environments (SOX/SOC), including evidence capture and audit-friendly change practices.
Familiarity with data reconciliation, financial operations, or payment/rebates domains.
Experience with Jira, Confluence and ServiceNow.
