• Create reusable modules, scripts, and functions that can be deployed quickly across projects.
• Set up triggers, webhooks, and fault-handling logic to keep workflows reliable.

Scripting and advanced integrations

• Write Python scripts for automation needs that standard tools cannot handle on their own.
• Work with APIs, JSON, XML, OAuth2, and webhooks to connect complex systems smoothly.
• Implement validation, transformation, and synchronization of data across multiple applications.
• Manage custom authentication flows and token refresh mechanisms for secure long-running API connections.
• Keep documentation updated for custom endpoints, scripts, and automation logic.

System optimization and maintenance

• Monitor automation systems continuously to maintain uptime, scalability, and performance.
• Investigate and fix issues such as failed tasks, rate limits, API deprecations, and version updates.
• Put logging, reporting, and alerting in place for early issue detection and quick resolution.
• Maintain a well-organized catalog of automations grouped by function, client, and dependency.
• Review and refine automation setups to improve efficiency, cost control, and long-term maintainability.

Collaboration and consultation

• Partner with Project Managers, Business Analysts, and Developers to understand automation needs and turn them into working solutions.
• Advise clients and internal stakeholders on how automation can streamline day-to-day operations.
• Document workflows and integrations so they can be reproduced and understood across teams.
• Train non-technical colleagues on automation tools, dashboards, and workflow management.
• Coordinate with API providers and SaaS vendors when integration support or enhancements are needed.

Innovation and continuous improvement

• Explore new automation platforms, AI-enabled workflow engines, and low-code/no-code tools.
• Assess and introduce AI-based automation using platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Vertex AI where appropriate.
• Create proof-of-concepts for new automation ideas and present recommendations to leadership.
• Define automation best practices, governance guidelines, and security standards.
• Keep improving automation systems to match business growth and changing technical ecosystems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
• At least 7 years of experience in automation development, systems integration, and API-driven workflows.
• Certification or demonstrated expertise in Zapier, Make (Integromat), or Python automation frameworks is preferred.
• Strong command of Python, including libraries such as requests, pandas, and json.
• Deep hands-on experience with Zapier, Make (Integromat), n8n, or similar automation tools.
• Advanced knowledge of RESTful APIs, webhooks, OAuth2, JSON, and data mapping.
• Familiarity with databases and synchronization across systems such as SQL, Airtable, Firebase, and MongoDB.
• Ability to read process maps and SOPs and convert them into technical automation workflows.
• Solid debugging, testing, and documentation habits.
• Good understanding of error handling, rate limiting, and API throttling.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with the capacity to explain complex technical ideas to non-technical audiences.
• Experience using Git or a similar version control system.
• Knowledge of cloud services such as AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions is an added advantage.

Perks and highlights

• Opportunity to work on advanced automation and integration projects across multiple industries.
• Chance to build scalable, intelligent systems that create measurable value for global clients.
• Work alongside experienced developers, analysts, and technology strategists.
• Possibility to lead automation innovation and mentor junior developers.
• Competitive pay with a culture centered on technical excellence and experimentation.
• Room to experiment with AI-integrated workflow solutions in a growth-oriented environment.
