📋 Description

• Designs, builds, and deploys production automations that integrate with internal APIs and third-party operational systems (browser-based UI automations where APIs are not available) • Builds and maintains step-level logging, alerting, and observability so automation failures, skips, and anomalies surface in real time rather than via downstream impact • Maintains, debugs, and enhances existing automations as operational requirements change and triages production incidents and resolve them within the internal fix path • Partners with operations stakeholders to translate process requirements into technical specifications, validates automation outputs during parallel-run periods, and defines acceptance criteria • Establishes and documents engineering standards for automation development, logging conventions, error handling patterns, configuration management, deployment processes • Evaluates, selects, and integrates tooling (including UI automation frameworks, observability platforms, and orchestration systems) that support the long-term automation roadmap • Documents automation logic, operational runbooks, and architectural decisions so that knowledge transfers cleanly across the engineering team

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field; OR equivalent practical experience demonstrated through professional work. (Required) • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years building and operating automation systems in production (Required) • Experience across both API integration work and browser-based UI automation (Required) • AWS, security, or healthcare technology certifications (Preferred) • Healthcare, pharmacy, or PBM domain experience (Preferred) • Experience replacing legacy or vendor-built automation systems while maintaining operational continuity (Preferred) • Experience working alongside an ML or AI platform team (Preferred) • Experience replacing or migrating off third-party automation vendors with active production workloads (Preferred) • Experience designing alerting strategies that minimize false positives while catching silent failures (Preferred) • Experience working directly with operations or business stakeholders to refine automation behavior over time (Preferred) • Knowledge of modern web application architecture; background job processing and scheduled task execution at production scale (Sidekiq, GoodJob, ActiveJob, or equivalent); OCR or document extraction tooling (Textract, Tesseract, or equivalent); browser automation frameworks (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or similar); RPA platform experience (UiPath, Power Automate, Blue Prism); REST API design, authentication patterns, retry and error handling; production observability concepts (structured logging, metrics, alerting, distributed tracing); source control workflows (Git) and CI/CD pipelines; and database fundamentals (Postgres or similar relational store; familiarity with query performance and migrations) (Required) • Knowledge of Ruby on Rails; healthcare or pharmacy operations workflows, including prescription processing, insurance verification, or order fulfillment; HIPAA and PHI handling best practices in production systems; AWS infrastructure (EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform); Snowflake or similar data warehouse environments (Preferred) • Strong programming skills in Ruby and / or Python (Required) • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills (Required) • Ability to designing and building reliable, fault-tolerant production systems with clear failure modes and recovery paths (Required) • Ability to write maintainable, well-tested code that other engineers can extend (Required) • Ability to diagnosing and resolve production incidents under time pressure (Required) • Ability to translating business process requirements into technical specifications without losing operational nuance (Required) • Ability to operate independently on technical decisions with minimal direction (Required) • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical operations stakeholders (Required) • Ability to balance pragmatism (ship working automation quickly) with engineering rigor (build it correctly the first time) (Required) • Ability to prioritize effectively across competing requests, new builds, and incident response (Required) • Ability to mentos or coach less senior engineers on automation patterns and operational thinking (Preferred) • Ability to lead cross-functional discovery sessions with operations stakeholders to scope new automation work (Preferred)
