Job Description
Automation Engineer developing API-driven integrations and reliable automation for Sentinel Blue's platforms. Supporting internal teams and clients while maintaining efficient and scalable platforms.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain automation that integrates SaaS platforms, internal tools, and cloud services across client and internal environments.
- Develop and consume REST APIs, including OAuth2 authentication flows, token lifecycle management, and error handling for production-grade integrations.
- Write scripts and tooling in PowerShell, Python, and other appropriate languages to automate provisioning, configuration, reporting, and lifecycle tasks.
- Build infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or similar frameworks to support repeatable, version-controlled deployments.
- Partner with internal teams to identify manual workflows, scope automation opportunities, and deliver solutions that fit how those teams actually work.
- Implement automation with appropriate guardrails, including secrets management, least-privilege access, logging, and observability.
- Maintain and improve existing automations, including refactoring, documentation, and migration of brittle workflows to more reliable patterns.
- Communicate automation designs, integration patterns, and operational guidance clearly to internal teams and stakeholders.
- Contribute to platform documentation, standards, runbooks, and architectural diagrams.
- Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and enhance the operator and engineer experience through automation.
Requirements:
- U.S. citizenship - by nature of our work with the defense industry, all employees must be eligible for a Secret clearance.
- 2+ years of experience in automation engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, software engineering, or related technical roles.
- Hands-on experience designing and consuming REST APIs in production, including pagination, rate limiting, retries, and error handling.
- Practical understanding of OAuth2 flows (authorization code, client credentials, PKCE) and modern authentication patterns including token lifecycle and refresh handling.
- Proficiency scripting in PowerShell, Python, or comparable languages, with the judgment to choose the right tool for the job.
- Practical experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or equivalent frameworks.
- Strong understanding of how automation interacts with identity, secrets, and access control, and how to build automation that doesn't introduce security risk.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams, translate operational pain points into automation requirements, and deliver solutions that get adopted.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain integration designs and trade-offs to non-engineering stakeholders.
- CompTIA Security+ certification is required in the first 6 months of hire.
Benefits:
- Fully paid individual healthcare, vision and dental insurance for the employee.
- Paid certification and training opportunities.
- Three weeks of paid vacation + 10 paid holidays.
- A supportive environment with a focus on keeping healthy work-life balance.
