We are looking for a highly pragmatic Process Automation Engineer to identify manual, repetitive, and error-prone operational processes and transform them into reliable, maintainable automations using scripts, APIs, and workflow tools.This role sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and data, and is responsible for building lightweight but robust automations that save time, reduce human error, and increase operational scalability.The ideal candidate is a strong Python-first problem solver who understands real-world business processes and can design end-to-end automations with logging, monitoring, and clear ownership.Key ResponsibilitiesProcess Discovery & DesignIdentify and document manual workflows across teams (ops, support, finance, data, product, etc.)Analyse bottlenecks, error sources, and automation opportunitiesDesign scalable automation solutions with clear inputs, outputs, and failure handlingPrioritize automations based on ROI (time saved, error reduction, cost impact)Automation DevelopmentBuild scripts and automations using Python (preferred) or Node.jsIntegrate internal and external systems via REST APIs, webhooks, and file pipelinesDevelop workflow automations using tools such as n8n, Zapier, Make, or Power AutomateImplement scheduled jobs, event-driven flows, and background workersBuild lightweight bots for reporting, alerts, data sync, and operational tasksReliability & MaintainabilityImplement logging, retries, idempotency, and error handlingAdd monitoring and alerting for critical automationsWrite clear documentation and runbooksEnsure automations are maintainable by other engineersVersion control and deployment via Git and CI/CD where relevantCross-Functional CollaborationWork closely with operations, support, finance, and product teamsTranslate business needs into technical automation solutionsProvide quick automation prototypes and iterate fastEducate teams on automation opportunities and best practicesRequired SkillsCore TechnicalStrong scripting skills in Python (must-have)Experience working with REST APIs, JSON, webhooksFamiliarity with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)Experience with CSV/Excel/Google Sheets automationSolid understanding of Linux environments and CLIExperience with job scheduling (cron or similar)Automation ToolsExperience with at least one:n8nZapierMake (Integromat)Power AutomateEngineering PracticesGit version controlStructured logging and debuggingWriting maintainable, production-ready scriptsBasic testing and validationNice to HaveDockerCI/CD pipelinesMessage queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)RPA tools (Playwright, Selenium) for non-API systemsExperience automating business operations at scaleExperience in e-commerce, fintech, or logistics environments
