TL;DR · Software Engineer, Automation

Software Engineer - Automation serves as a Principal level role focused on building internal tools and systems that enhance organizational speed and reliability. Rather than developing customer-facing products, the engineer identifies, frames, and resolves complex technical bottlenecks by creating new platforms, patterns, and standards for other engineers to utilize. The role involves architecting end-to-end solutions, integrating agentic AI platforms with self-hosted models, and transforming manual processes into secure, automated tools. Key technologies include C#, Go, Python, and various cloud-native environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in building scalable APIs, managing containerized applications, and utilizing telemetry tools like Grafana and Splunk. The work centers on solving internal operational friction by creating high-leverage infrastructure that improves system observability and automates manual workflows across the entire company's technical landscape.
