Lead Asset Automation Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced automation professional who's ready to take the next step in their career-not just as a hands-on technical expert, but as a leader and mentor.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll spend about 70% of your time designing and executing a technical roadmap, and building or recommending integrations, and 30% coaching a small team and driving organizational change.

You'll lead a team of 2-3 experienced hardware and software professionals who have strong governance foundations but are looking for a compliment to their talents with someone who understands infrastructure-as-code, API integrations, and automation frameworks.

Your job is to guide them on that journey while also establishing yourself as a go-to expert on automation and AI enablement across the organization.
What You'll Do


* Design and deliver the automation and systems integration roadmap for the organization


* Build or direct modern integrations across enterprise platforms using REST APIs, and/or re-platforming, and integration tools


* Work with subject matter technology teams (Identity engineering, ServiceNow development, Network Engineering, Automation Engineering, etc.) to build a robust asset management platform or platforms


* Create workflows, scripts, and automations that measurably reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency


* Mentor and upskill a team of 2-3 technical professionals, introducing them to modern practices like IaC, CI/CD, and API development


* Champion the adoption of automation and AI tools across the organization, providing training, and enablement to non-technical teams


* Improve data flows and accuracy for our CMDB, asset management systems, and related platforms


* Replace legacy manual processes with modern, scalable automated solutions

Who You Are

You're a hands-on automation engineer who:


* Still loves to code, troubleshoot, and solve complex technical problems


* Is excited about mentoring others and helping them level up their skills


* Wants to influence how an organization thinks about automation and AI, not just execute on someone else's vision


* Communicates technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

Ideal Experience


* 5-8+ years in automation engineering, systems integration, or platform engineering roles


* Experience with REST APIs and at least one scripting language (Python or PowerShell)


* Strong interest in Agentic AI and LLMs


* Experience owning or operating an enterprise system (CMDB, ITSM, asset management, or similar)


* Strong written and verbal communication skills-you can explain complex topics simply


* Exposure to Hardware or Software management

Preferred Experience


* ServiceNow familiarity


* Experience with integration platforms or automation approaches


* Familiarity with modern development practices (version control, CI/CD, infrastru...
