Job details
About this role
Role overview
Own and improve the automations that support IT operations, with a focus on reliable employee onboarding and offboarding, device logistics, and repeatable identity and infrastructure workflows. This is a senior, hands-on engineering role with substantial independence and close collaboration with security and business applications partners.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of existing IT automation flows, keep them healthy, investigate failures to their root causes, and make durable fixes. - Manage the workflow platform workspace, including recipes, connections, error handling, and alerts. - Build workflows in identity and service-management tools to remove manual steps from IT processes. - Establish a foundation for IT as code using a repository, cloud-hosted internal tools, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and linters. - Create monitoring, runbooks, and clear failure-response procedures for critical workflows; maintain a monthly reliability target of at least 99%. - Coordinate with security on access scope, termination timing, and cloud approvals; report reliability and failure trends to IT leadership.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience building and operating automations in a workflow or integration platform; experience with Workato, Zapier, Tines, or Okta Workflows is relevant. - Python experience automating IT or business processes, including making REST API calls; ability to use Bash is also useful for the described work. - Working knowledge of APIs, webhooks, and mapping data between systems. - A habit of building in error handling and alerts, investigating root causes, and making failures visible before they disrupt users. - Ability to write runbooks another engineer can use to operate and repair workflows, and to turn business processes into working automation with partner teams.
