AI Automation Engineer designing and deploying AI agents for Aspire Software. Collaborating with teams to drive operational efficiency and develop market - ready products.
About the role
- Software Operations Automation Engineer at SambaSafety designing, implementing, and maintaining automation workflows. Building pipelines and integrating systems to enhance operational reliability.
Responsibilities
- We are seeking a Software Operations Automation Engineer to design, implement, and maintain automation that eliminates repetitive manual work and improves reliability across our operational workflows.
- You will build robust, scalable pipelines and services—centered on Apache Airflow and scripting—to automate file movement, scheduled FTP jobs, application health checks, data validation and remediation, log/table-driven alerting, and email-triggered actions.
- Design, develop, and maintain DAGs in Apache Airflow to schedule and coordinate operational tasks.
- Move files between systems/locations and confirm successful sends/receives.
- Execute FTP pickups on defined schedules with retries and failure handling.
- Ensure applications are running through automated health checks and restart routines.
- Perform database data validation (referential integrity, threshold checks, anomaly detection).
- Alert when specific conditions are identified in log files or database tables.
- Modify data based on query results under controlled, auditable procedures.
- Consume emails and trigger appropriate automated actions (e.g., parse inbox commands, route attachments, kick off jobs).
- Implement idempotent jobs, robust error handling, logging, and observability for all automation.
- Build and maintain API-driven integrations between internal/external systems.
- Handle secrets/credentials securely; enforce RBAC; align automation with relevant compliance requirements.
- Partner with Operations, Data, Engineering, and Product teams to identify automation opportunities; document solutions; evangelize best practices.
- Proactively monitor pipelines and services; triage incidents; drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
Requirements
- Apache Airflow: Strong proficiency creating, scheduling, and monitoring DAGs; task dependencies; sensors; operators; Airflow UI usage.
- Scripting & Programming: Advanced Python and Shell (bash/zsh); writing maintainable, testable automation code.
- SQL & Databases: Solid understanding of SQL, query optimization, data validation patterns, and transactional safety.
- File/Transfer Automation: Experience with FTP/SFTP, checksum verification, encryption, and secure transfer patterns.
- Monitoring & Observability: Practical knowledge of log parsing, metrics, tracing, and alerting (e.g., building dashboards, threshold/condition-based alerts).
- Version Control: Proficiency with Git (branching, PRs, code review).
- CI/CD: Familiarity with pipelines to build, test, and deploy automation safely and repeatably.
- API Integration: Comfortable with REST/SOAP, auth flows (OAuth2, API keys), and pagination/rate-limits.
- Error Handling & Logging: Ability to design resilient jobs with retries/backoff, dead-letter queues, and structured logging.
- Secure Automation Practices: Secrets management (e.g., vaults), least-privilege access, auditability, and compliance awareness.
- Preferred Qualifications: Containerization & Orchestration: Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for packaging and running automation services.
- Cloud Platforms: Exposure to AWS services (e.g., schedulers, queues, storage, serverless, IAM).
- ETL/Data Pipelines: Background in ETL/ELT, data quality checks, and lineage.
- Advanced Observability: Experience with tools like Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar.
- DevOps Practices: Infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, and environment standardization.
