Join a leading technology company at the forefront of innovation, where you'll contribute to revolutionizing operational efficiency and data integrity. This organization is dedicated to scaling critical infrastructure through advanced automation, transforming complex manual processes into streamlined, reliable software solutions that drive progress and empower data-driven decisions across its global operations.

Are you ready to make a profound impact by transforming how a global technology leader operates? We are seeking a visionary engineer to design, build, and maintain cutting-edge automation pipelines that will dramatically improve operational readiness, data validation, and engineering workflow efficiency. In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in replacing manual, spreadsheet-driven, or ad hoc processes with robust, software-driven workflows, integrating diverse data sources, applying sophisticated validation logic, and generating insightful reports. Your work will directly enable more efficient scaling of critical systems, ensuring reliability and accuracy from deployment readiness to advanced telemetry validation and data quality checks.

**Responsibilities:**

* Design and implement automation pipelines that streamline operational, validation, and engineering workflows.
* Gather and analyze requirements from engineering, operations, and program stakeholders, translating ambiguous manual processes into clear technical designs.
* Integrate data from internal systems, databases, work tracking tools, spreadsheets, and document repositories.
* Build software solutions that ingest, normalize, validate, and report on operational and telemetry-related data.
* Develop reusable validation rules, checks, and reporting modules that can scale across multiple workflows.
* Automate manual review processes while preserving appropriate human-in-the-loop approval gates.
* Create reliable scripts, services, or tools with clear logging, error handling, retries, and auditability.
* Prepare technical specifications, test plans, and implementation documentation.
* Modify and improve existing automation tools to meet new standards, requirements, and operating models.
* Conduct unit testing, integration testing, and post-implementation validation.
* Troubleshoot issues across new and legacy systems, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes.
* Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure automation outputs are actionable, trusted, and operationally usable.

**Qualifications:**

* Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, data engineering, or a related technical field.
* 5-7 years of software engineering or automation engineering experience.
* Proven experience working with AI systems.
* Strong programming experience, preferably with Python, PowerShell, C#, or similar automation-friendly languages.
* Experience building backend tools, data pipelines, workflow automation, or internal engineering platforms.
* Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, software design, and maintainable code practices.
* Experience integrating with APIs, databases, work item systems, files, and enterprise data sources.
* Ability to work with structured and semi-structured data such as SQL/KQL query results, spreadsheets, JSON, CSV, and logs.
* Experience with validation frameworks, data quality checks, automated reporting, or operational readiness tooling.
* Strong troubleshooting skills across both new and legacy production systems.
* Experience writing unit tests, test data, and validation plans for automation workflows.
* Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and convert manual business processes into reliable software systems.

**Preferred Skills:**

* Experience with cloud or enterprise data platforms.
* Familiarity with telemetry systems, operational monitoring, or industrial/IoT data workflows.
* Experience with GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, or similar engineering lifecycle tools.
* Experience building tools used by engineering or operations teams.
* Strong communication skills and ability to document technical designs for non-specialist stakeholders.
