We are seeking a technically adept Manager of Automation Engineering to lead the development and optimization of automation solutions that drive developer productivity, enhance software quality, and reduce technical debt.

  • Define and implement strategies for building and maintaining scalable automation frameworks.
  • Build a team capable of supporting both developer enablement and quality assurance needs.
  • Developer Enablement:
    • Design and implement automation tools that streamline the SDLC, including test data generation, environment setup, and deployment pipelines.
    • Integrate automation into CI/CD workflows to enable rapid feedback and seamless deployments.
    • Drive the adoption of developer-first tools that reduce friction and accelerate the development process.
    • Implement and maintain a centralized software catalog to improve discoverability, compliance, and reuse of automation tools and services.
  • Technical Debt Reduction and Modernization:
    • Identify and prioritize technical debt in automation frameworks and infrastructure.
    • Modernize legacy systems and integrate them with contemporary tools and methodologies.
    • Develop strategies to enhance maintainability, scalability, and performance of automation systems.
    • Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and frameworks to enhance developer and quality enablement.
  • Quality Assurance and Metrics:
    • Define and track metrics to evaluate delivery performance and identify improvement areas, e.g., DORA metrics - deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery
    • Drive robust test automation strategies to enhance reliability and ensure consistent quality across releases.
    • Ensure comprehensive testing coverage, including functional, integration, and end-to-end tests, with an emphasis on SOA and microservices.
  • Collaboration and Cross-Team Alignment:
    • Partner with engineering, DevOps, and architecture teams to align automation strategies with organizational goals.
    • Collaborate on service integration testing, contract testing, and system-level quality initiatives.
    • Facilitate discussions on tooling, best practices, and automation priorities across teams.

    Required Qualifications:

    • Proven experience managing or leading technical teams in automation engineering or developer enablement.
    • Expertise in designing and implementing automation frameworks for SOA and microservices architectures.
    • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, or JavaScript, with a focus on maintainability and scalability.
    • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and build automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform).
    • In-depth understanding of service integration testing, contract testing, and system reliability testing.
    • Demonstrated success in measuring and improving DORA metrics across teams.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Experience with cloud-native technologies and platforms (e.g., AWS).
    • Familiarity with developer tooling and software cataloging tools and practices (e.g., Backstage, SonarQube, IDE plugin development)
    • Expertise in pipeline technologies and practices, including CI/CD orchestration, artifact management, and automated rollbacks (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Artifactory)
    • Proficiency with build tools and dependency management systems (e.g., Maven, Gradle, Bazel, npm, Yarn)
    • Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
    • Strong understanding of Agile and DevOps principles
