Business Automation Engineer REMOTE

A Business Automation Engineer at Axelerant is successful when people have more time for human relationships, and their administrative tasks are minimized. Your role is constantly challenging the status quo, getting things done more efficiently, and iterating on the current automation.

Automation at Axelerant is spread across functions and workflows ranging from recruitment, performance management, people operations, and org-level metrics. Over 200 automation scenarios are set up with 100,000 operations per month through Zapier, Make, Google, Slack, JazzHR, Jira, third-party APIs, and other platforms.

You are expected to understand the business use case, collaborate to identify potential automation touchpoints, and even go beyond asking people what they want. The intention is to develop a seamless experience through understanding dependencies, examining actions, and studying impact. We also recognize that sometimes, the best automation is none, and getting better at automation might be burdensome.

This is a fully remote position, open for well-qualified people from anywhere. Travel may occur, though much of the work occurs from where you desire. Work is often done in small teams or independently and with minimal supervision. You’ll join our Global Delivery Team, regularly working on special projects with Delivery and People management teams.
