We're seeking an Automation Engineer to work embedded with our client’s operations and Workforce Management teams. You'll lead discovery-driven initiatives where deep technical expertise is essential — understanding automation architectures, AI-driven solutions, and integration patterns allows you to identify optimization opportunities others miss. You'll spend 70-80% of your time in discovery: observing workflows, building stakeholder trust, scoping solutions with technical precision, and designing intelligent automation approaches. The remaining 20-25% focuses on building and deploying production-ready automations using RPA, scripting, AI integration, and agentic workflows. This role demands both technical capability and exceptional communication skills.
Lead technical discovery: Embed with operations teams to understand workflows at a technical and operational level; identify automation opportunities by analyzing processes through both business and technical lenses
Design intelligent automation solutions: Translate operational problems into well-scoped automation architectures using RPA, scripting, APIs, AI/LLM integration, and agentic workflow approaches
Build and deploy production automations: Develop, test, and deploy automation solutions including scripts, RPA workflows, data pipelines, and AI-driven integrations that handle complex operational tasks
Drive stakeholder alignment: Build trust with operational teams and leadership; clearly communicate technical solutions, business impact, and implementation timelines to non-technical audiences
Enable operational teams: Guide and mentor team leads and operational staff in automation practices; support citizen developer initiatives by sharing technical expertise and best practices
Measure and quantify impact: Track automation results (time savings, productivity gains, efficiency improvements) and develop business cases demonstrating ROI and operational value
Business-level English proficiency (written and verbal) is required
5+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, automation development, or technical solution engineering with proven delivery of complex automation systems

Strong technical foundation in SQL, data transformation, API integration, and system architectures; comfortable designing data pipelines and service-based automation solutions
Experience working in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with containerized workflows (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines
Demonstrated expertise in modern AI-driven automation practical knowledge of LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic AI workflows, and prompt engineering
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills; proven ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and build trust with operational teams
Strong problem-solving mindset with ability to independently drive solutions from discovery through production deployment
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, or related technical discipline (or equivalent hands-on experience building complex automation systems)
Experience automating contact center operations, Workforce Management processes, or operational reporting environments
Familiarity with WFM platforms (Verint, Workday) or operational analytics and BI environments
Experience building automation enablement programs or scaling citizen developer initiatives
