The Automation Platform Engineer is a high-impact practitioner at the center of a transformational shift in how a top-10 U.S. bank builds and ships software. You will build, operate, and relentlessly improve the AI-powered automation and CI/CD platforms that engineering teams depend on every day across GitLab SaaS, Ansible Automation Platform, JFrog Artifactory, and SonarQube. This is not maintenance work. You will embed agentic AI into developer workflows, build Event-Driven Ansible pipelines that self-remediate before humans intervene, and instrument distributed systems with deep observability that turns reactive operations into proactive intelligence. You think in golden paths and write the playbooks, templates, and automation patterns that multiply the productivity of hundreds of teams across tens of thousands of repositories. If you want your craft to define what modern platform engineering looks like at scale and leave a mark that outlasts any single release, this is where you do it.ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
