About the Role

We are looking for an Automation Engineer to build software that streamlines key business processes for our internal teams. This is a full-stack development role where you'll own the solution end-to-end, from back-end code, to the database and cloud infrastructure, to user-facing tools. The ideal candidate is an empathetic problem-solver who is dedicated to elevating the productivity and experience of our colleagues through high-quality, reliable code, while championing our core values of Velocity (be fast), Outcomes (focus on the customer), and Integrity (do the right thing).

What you will own:

  • Build Automation: Design and build robust automation tools and software systems using Python as the primary language.

  • Full-Stack Development: Perform activities across all layers of the technology stack, including back-end programming, front-end appearance, and database integration.

  • System Design & Implementation: Be involved in all stages of software development, including architectural design, development, database integrations, and user experience (UX).

  • Code Management: Utilize GitHub for source code control, collaborative development, and implementing continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Deploy, manage, and scale applications using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

  • Testing and Quality Assurance: Develop and maintain comprehensive test suites to ensure software reliability, performance, and conformance to specifications.

  • API Integration: Proficiently read and interpret external API documentation and write conformant software to connect and interact with these APIs.

  • Collaboration: Listen to stakeholders, understand their needs, and translate complex requirements into straightforward, carefully designed software solutions.

What you'll bring to the table

  • Python Expertise: Strong professional experience developing back-end software solutions using Python, or similar languages such as PHP, Perl or Ruby.

  • Database Management: Hands-on experience with relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL.

  • Cloud Computing: Practical experience utilizing and managing services within AWS.

  • Version Control: Proficient in using git for version control and team collaboration.

  • Software Testing: Demonstrated ability to write effective and thorough test suites.

  • Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker and/or Podman).

  • Experience building internal tools using low-code/no-code platforms like Retool.
