The IT Automation Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the scripts, workflows, and AI agents that eliminate repetitive work across the service desk, infrastructure, systems administration, and enterprise processes. This role is a technical individual contributor expected to deliver working automations in production, not to manage programs or own documentation.

Essential Functions: Analyze all ticket queues to identify high-volume, repetitive task categories and build a prioritized automation backlog based on impact and build effort. Design, write, and maintain PowerShell and Python scripts that automate common support tasks, including password resets, account provisioning, license assignments, access requests, and device management actions.

Develop and maintain integrations between the service desk platform and enterprise systems, including Active Directory, Entra ID, and Intune, to enable automated resolution without agent involvement.

Own the operational health of all automation and scripting work in production. Contribute knowledge base documentation when directly required to support an automation deployment or AI agent configuration. Day-to-day KB ownership remains with the L2 team.
