Senior Automation Engineer, Back Office

Location: Kaunas, Lithuania

Department: Engineering

Information about the position 

We are looking for a Senior Automation Engineer with a strong backend mindset to help us build a more efficient and integrated Back Office (current focus in finance, people, legal functions).

While the Marketplace teams focus on our members, the Back Office Automation team ensures our internal engines - Finance, People, Legal, and IT - are efficient, well integrated, and scalable.

We need someone who enjoys untangling complex problems, transforming manual workflows into scalable, automated systems that provide a seamless experience for various Back Office teams.

As part of a broader domain effort to modernize our internal systems, your work will directly reduce operational debt and toil across the company. You’ll join a friendly, high-trust team where how we build is just as important as what we build.

In this position, you’ll 

• Design End-to-End Flows: Architect scalable, reliable integrations between core systems like Workday, NetSuite, Jira and others.
• Write clean, purposeful code: Develop automations and scripts using a serverless architecture, ensuring they are maintainable and high-quality.
• Work with a diverse tech stack: Use Python and Go to develop APIs and deploy on our managed infrastructure.
• Own the Lifecycle: Manage the full CI/CD pipeline - from initial build and automated testing (Unit/Integration) to deployment and proactive monitoring.
• Champion Quality & Security: Implement least privilege access and data protection standards, ensuring our automations are as secure as they are efficient.
• Be a process partner: Collaborate directly with Finance, Legal, IT and People teams to gather requirements and translate business needs into technical reality.

About you 

• Backend Expertise: You have backend engineering skills, with experience in Python and/or Go being a significant advantage.
• Pragmatic and real: You think practically, choosing the best solutions, avoid over-engineering, and prioritize simplicity.
• Strategic Thinker: You effectively balance immediate needs with long-term stability in your decisions.
• Quality-Oriented: You advocate for clean code and testing strategies because you know they save time in the long run.
• Friendly & Collaborative: You enjoy mentoring others, participating in GitHub PR reviews, and contributing to a positive team culture.
• Continuous Learner: You’re curious about how different business domains work and are excited to master new technologies as we evolve.
• Clear Communicator: You can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder without using jargon or being condescending.
