  • Collaborate with business and technical teams to identify automation opportunities, gather requirements and translate them into working solutions 
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, deployment practices and documentation that keep our growing automation footprint reliable and maintainable 
  • Help evaluate and implement cloud services and tools (Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Data Factory, Service Bus) that form the building blocks for future AI capabilities

  • Basic understanding of APIs, JSON/XML, and how web services communicate (REST, HTTP, webhooks) 
  • Exposure to SQL and relational databases; comfortable writing queries, understanding schemas and thinking about data quality 
  • Familiarity with version control (Git) and a willingness to learn CI/CD and DevOps practices 
  • A problem-solver and self-starter who is curious about how systems work, excited to automate what's manual and comfortable learning new tools quickly 
  • Strong communication skills: able to talk with both technical and non-technical teammates about requirements, trade-offs and progress
