Position Summary

The Staff Software Development Engineer in Automation Production Support is a senior technical leader responsible for the stability, reliability, and operational excellence of enterprise automation solutions. This role owns production support strategy for RPA and automation platforms, leads complex incident resolution, and drives proactive improvements to reduce operational risk. The position partners closely with engineering, infrastructure, QA, and business stakeholders to ensure automations are resilient, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes.
The Production Support role owns incident triage, root‑cause analysis, and coordination of fixes to ensure stable and reliable production operations. The role works closely with development and platform teams to resolve issues efficiently and prevent recurrence. Participation in a rotating on‑call schedule is expected, which may involve limited after‑hours support for critical incidents or time‑sensitive production events.

Key Responsibilities

Production Support & Operations

  • Serve as the technical owner for production support of automation and RPA solutions across critical business processes
  • Lead incident triage, root cause analysis, and permanent remediation for high‑severity automation failures
  • Establish and enforce runbooks, support models, escalation paths, and on‑call readiness for automation platforms
  • Proactively identify systemic issues and implement stability, resiliency, and performance improvements

Automation & Engineering Leadership

  • Provide hands‑on technical leadership for automation design, debugging, and optimization in production environments
  • Review automation code and configurations to ensure adherence to standards, security, and reliability best practices
  • Partner with development teams to ensure production readiness of new automations before release
  • Guide architectural decisions that reduce operational complexity and technical debt

Monitoring, Tooling & Reliability

  • Design and maintain monitoring, alerting, and health dashboards for automation platforms
  • Drive adoption of AIOps, SRE, and automation‑first support practices where applicable
  • Improve observability by defining meaningful metrics such as uptime, failure rates, recovery times, and business impact

Cross‑Team Collaboration & Communication

  • Act as a key escalation point for automation‑related production issues
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, application, and vendor teams to resolve platform‑level issues
  • Communicate incidents, risks, and remediation plans clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders
  • Mentor engineers and support analysts in automation support best practices
Required Qualifications
  • Extensive experience in software development and production support for enterprise systems
  • Strong expertise in automation/RPA platforms, scripting, and debugging complex workflows
  • Proven ability to lead incident response and root cause analysis in high‑availability environments
  • Deep understanding of SDLC, CI/CD, release management, and production readiness standards

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting mission‑critical automation in regulated or high‑volume environments
  • Familiarity with monitoring tools, job schedulers, and orchestration platforms
  • Experience implementing resiliency patterns, failover strategies, and automation governance
  • Demonstrated leadership in driving operational maturity and continuous improvement

Impact of the Role

  • Improves reliability and availability of automation supporting core business operations
  • Reduces production incidents through proactive engineering and observability
  • Ensures automation solutions scale safely and sustainably
  • Elevates production support from reactive issue handling to engineering‑led reliability
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
