Job description

Our Automation Engineer role in Oxnard, CA is a chance to build Interpersonal Skills infrastructure from a clean slate, which at DataWave Corp happens rarely and matters enormously. The Oxnard role is less about the $147,000 - $192,000 and more about what 7 years of Stakeholder Management lets you own at DataWave Corp.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Ship Bug Tracking experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Question the unfussy Jest pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Postman
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput DataWave Corp workloads
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Document the Cross-Browser Testing system so the next senior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core DataWave Corp products

What You'll Bring

• Experience translating Bug Tracking complexity for a non-technical audience
• Hands-on experience with modern Postman workflows and tooling
• Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
• Demonstrated comfort presenting to senior leadership
• Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
• A CA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway

DataWave Corp exists for one stubborn reason: the technology tools everyone settled for were never good enough, so we rebuilt them from Oxnard, CA. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Postman work, not the human behind it.

Picture $147,000 - $192,000 as the floor, not the ceiling, with growth coaching and a benefits package that actually flexes around your life.

Stamped current this morning, the temporary opportunity awaits your application.
