Automation Engineer — Network Partner Data Platform

based on site 5 days a week in Denver, not remote working

About the Role

Client's global network infrastructure relies on thousands of external partners — internet

service providers (ISPs), colocation facilities, hardware vendors, and managed service

providers. We're building a centralized platform to manage all of these relationships,

contacts, and service data in one place.

What You'll Do

1. Build Workflow Automation

● Design and implement automated workflows for partner onboarding, contact updates,

service renewals, and data lifecycle management

● Create self-service tools that allow operations teams to perform bulk data operations

without needing engineering support

● Build automated alerting for stale data, missing information, or expiring service

agreements

Develop Data Pipelines & Integrations

● Build ETL pipelines that synchronize partner data across multiple internal systems

● Automate the migration of legacy data from spreadsheets, wikis, and siloed

databases into the centralized platform

● Develop reconciliation scripts to detect discrepancies between systems and maintain

data consistency

Automate Operational Processes

● Build tools that auto-retrieve relevant partner contacts during network incidents,

reducing response time

● Create automated escalation and outreach workflows triggered by network events

● Develop runbook automation to standardize and speed up repetitive operational

tasks

Monitor & Report

● Build dashboards tracking data quality, freshness, and platform adoption

● Implement automated health checks and audit scripts to detect duplicates, orphaned

records, or incomplete entries

● Create scheduled reports for leadership on automation ROI and data integrity metrics
