Senior Automation Engineer

Senior Automation Engineer (High-Impact / Mission-Critical Systems) 🔷 Role Overview We are looking for an elite Automation Engineer who can design, build, and own end-to-end automation systems at scale . This is not a script-writing role—you will be expected to engineer resilient, production-grade automation that replaces manual operations across complex environments. You must operate with strong ownership, anticipate failure scenarios, and deliver automation that is observable, testable, and fault-tolerant under real-world conditions . 🔷 Key Responsibilities Automation Architecture & Engineering Design and implement scalable automation frameworks across infrastructure, applications, and workflows Build automation using Python (or equivalent), APIs, and event-driven systems Develop pipelines for CI/CD, test automation, and operational workflows Systems Thinking & Reliability Engineer automation with idempotency, rollback, and failure recovery mechanisms Identify bottlenecks and eliminate manual dependencies at system level Ensure automation is production-ready with logging, monitoring, and alerting Technical Ownership Own automation lifecycle from design → deployment → optimization Debug complex failures across distributed systems Enforce coding standards, version control, and maintainability Cross-Functional Impact Work with DevOps, QA, Security, and Product teams to automate critical processes Challenge inefficient workflows and redesign end-to-end processes Deliver measurable impact (time saved, incidents reduced, uptime improved) 🔻 Non-Negotiable Requirements 5–10+ years in automation engineering (not manual QA or basic scripting) Proven experience building production-grade automation frameworks Strong programming skills (Python, Java, or similar—not low-code tools) Deep understanding of CI/CD, APIs, testing strategies, and system reliability Experience working with distributed systems, cloud environments, or large-scale platforms Demonstrated ability to debug failures across multiple layers (code, infra, network) 🔻 Exceptional Candidate Signals Built automation that replaced entire workflows or teams—not just tasks Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible) Strong grasp of observability (logs, metrics, tracing) Proven impact in high-scale or high-availability environments
