Senior Automation Engineer
Cordatus Resource Group | Remote (Global) | Full-Time
About Cordatus
Cordatus Resource Group is a business process consulting and global managed services firm serving mid-market and PE-backed companies. We help operators tighten their back office, modernize operations, and unlock leverage through automation. We're ISO 27001 certified, which matters because our clients trust us with financially sensitive work.
About the Role
We're hiring a Senior Automation Engineer to start by automating Cordatus's own operations, then move into client engagements as we scale our automation practice. You'll have unusually broad scope: choose the tools, design the solution, build it, ship it, and own the outcome.
You'll work directly with the founder, an automation engineer turned operator, and play a real role in shaping how we deliver automation as a service.
What You'll Do
- Build production-grade automations across business functions (finance ops, RevOps, HR, IT and security workflows)
- Pick the right tool for the job. RPA where it fits, AI agents where they're better, custom code when neither does
- Document thoroughly and build for handoff. We're a managed services firm, durability matters
- Lead client-facing automation projects as we scale the practice
- Mentor junior engineers as the team grows
What You Bring (Required)
- 6 to 8 years building production automation in a business context, not just side projects
- Deep experience in at least one major RPA platform (UiPath, Power Automate, or Blue Prism)
- Strong Python and/or JavaScript. You can write actual code, not just configure low-code tools
- Hands-on experience with LLM-based automation (n8n, Make, custom agent frameworks, or similar)
- Comfortable integrating systems via APIs (REST, webhooks, OAuth)
- Security-aware. You understand why credentials, data handling, and access controls matter, especially in regulated environments
- Strong async communicator with reliable overlap to US business hours
- Comfortable being client-facing (you'll get there as the practice scales)
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with broader iPaaS tools (Workato, Zapier, n8n, Make)
- ISO 27001 or SOC 2 awareness
- Prior consulting or managed services experience
- Experience with PE-backed or mid-market environments
- ClickUp, HubSpot, or similar workflow and CRM platforms (we use these internally)
What We Offer
- Fully remote
- Real ownership and influence on what gets built and how
- Direct work with the founder, not buried under layers
- A clear path to lead our automation practice as we grow it
How to Apply
Send a resume and a short note about a recent automation you're proud of. What was the problem, what did you build, what was the outcome? Bonus points if you include something you learned the hard way.
