Job description

IT AUTOMATION ENGINEER

Own the design, development, and deployment of automation solutions across IT operations, reducing manual work and increasing operational efficiency. This is a hands-on, execution-focused technical role that blends traditional systems/scripting expertise with modern AI-assisted development. Success requires strong technical fundamentals, comfort working across Windows and/or Linux environments, and the judgment to use AI tools to accelerate engineering work — not replace the engineering itself.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

AUTOMATION DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION

• Design, build, and deploy automation scripts and workflows across IT service and operations processes
• Identify manual, repetitive, or error-prone tasks and convert them into reliable automated solutions
• Implement automation across ticketing systems, monitoring tools, provisioning workflows, and internal tooling

SYSTEMS & SCRIPTING

• Hands-on experience administering Windows and/or Linux environments
• Develop and maintain production-grade scripts (PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar)
• Troubleshoot, debug, and harden automations running across mixed OS environments

AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT

• Use AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate code generation and speed up automation development
• Maintain full command of the underlying code and logic — able to read, validate, debug, and modify AI-generated code independently
• Treat AI as a productivity and speed multiplier, not a substitute for engineering understanding; this role requires an engineer who happens to use AI well, not an AI prompt operator

INTEGRATION & TOOLING

• Build integrations between internal platforms (PSA/RMM, ticketing, monitoring, cloud services) using APIs and webhooks
• Work with REST APIs and scripting interfaces to connect disparate systems into cohesive workflows

TESTING & RELIABILITY

• Test automations thoroughly before production deployment, including error handling and logging
• Monitor deployed automations for performance, failures, and drift; proactively remediate issues
• Build automations to be maintainable, not just functional

DOCUMENTATION & KNOWLEDGE

• Document automation architecture, logic, dependencies, and failure modes
• Maintain knowledge base content covering tools, scripts, and workflows built and supported

COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION

• Partner with service desk, engineering, and leadership to identify high-value automation opportunities
• Clearly communicate technical concepts, tradeoffs, and limitations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Hands-on experience implementing and deploying automation solutions in real production environments
• Solid background administering Windows and/or Linux systems
• Proficiency in scripting/programming (PowerShell, Python, Bash, or similar)
• Practical experience using AI coding tools to generate and accelerate code, paired with the ability to independently read, understand, debug, and modify that code
• Working understanding of APIs, webhooks, and system integration concepts
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across operating systems
• Proven ability to translate manual, repetitive processes into reliable, maintainable automation
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ticket-driven MSP environment with shifting priorities

ROLE FOCUS

• Owns automation design, development, and deployment — not ticket coordination or process enforcement
• Uses AI as a force multiplier for engineering speed and output, never as a replacement for technical understanding or code ownership
• Acts as a hands-on technical resource focused on eliminating manual work and increasing operational efficiency across the organization
