THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Senior automation engineer to join our Automation & AI Enablement team. Reporting to an Engineering manager, you’ll work closely with colleagues across engineering, product, operations and our customer-facing teams to identify complex operational problems and create simpler, faster and more scalable ways of working.

The team helps Seccl make better use of automation and AI as we continue to grow. You’ll get under the skin of ambiguous processes, design improved workflows and build practical solutions using the right tool for the problem – whether that’s TypeScript, Python, an agentic system or a low-code platform such as Zapier or Microsoft Power Platform. You’ll take ownership from initial discovery through to delivery and operation, balancing speed, quality and long-term maintainability.

ON A TYPICAL DAY YOU WILL BE…

- Working with engineering, product, operations and customer-facing teams to uncover inefficient, manual or unclear processes

- Turning ambiguous business problems into well-designed, scalable automated workflows

- Choosing the right tool for each problem, from TypeScript or Python to LLMs, agentic systems and low-code platforms

- Designing, building, testing ...
