About the role
- Partner with every major business function to identify repetitive tasks and manual workflows that can be replaced with automation and integrations.
- Build or extend automations that reduce audit burden, reduce toil and repetitive tasks, speed up employee lifecycle processes, and cut operational overhead.
- Maximize native features in tools like Rippling, Vanta, Slack, and Gitlab to improve efficiency and reduce the need for custom development.
- Automate security and compliance guardrails, including GitLab pipeline integrations, access reviews, anomaly detection, and evidence collection.
- Enable internal self-serve tools and workflows for developers and business users alike, using established patterns and templates.
- Drive a central automation backlog, meeting regularly with stakeholders to refine priorities based on measurable impact.
- Serve as the technical owner for cross-functional automation initiatives, bringing engineering rigor to internal tooling.
- Layer AI tools and copilots onto existing infrastructure to empower non-engineers to build, automate, and operate with confidence, establishing guardrails that ensure security, compliance, and maintainability at scale.
Requirements
- 5+ years in automation engineering, systems engineering, internal tooling, or related technical roles with a strong focus on reducing manual effort.
- Proven track record of building automations that eliminate toil across IT, Security, Compliance, or other business functions.
- Deep familiarity with platforms like Rippling, JAMF, Vanta, GSuite, Slack, GitLab, and cloud infrastructure, particularly their APIs, admin surfaces, and automation workflows.
- Strong scripting and integration skills; comfortable orchestrating solutions using APIs, webhooks, CLI tools, and low-code/no-code platforms.
- Experience designing infrastructure-as-code and reusable automation patterns that scale across teams and tools.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or similar, and experience building automation that supports audit readiness and security posture.
- Confidently engaging directly with stakeholders to surface pain points, define success metrics, and deliver high-impact automation aligned to business priorities.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver usable, documented internal tooling with minimal overhead and long-term maintainability.
- Strong prioritization instincts; able to assess and balance competing needs using sound judgment to drive outcomes that maximize value and reduce operational drag.
- Proven ability to operate independently in a senior capacity, navigating ambiguity, building cross-functional relationships, and self-prioritizing work without constant direction.
- Bonus points if you have built an internal LLM Agent. We’d love to hear about it!
