Automation Engineer
Thoughtful Automation
Overview
At Thoughtful Automation, we're building a new way to help our customers automate their most mundane and robust processes. Unlike typical RPA, we develop software robots in the cloud and provide customers with process automation as a service (SaaS model). While all of our automations are designed for specific use cases, our platform allows customers to trigger, interact with, and report on their automations.
We are looking for Python engineer to join our developer network. In this role you'll be responsible for building end-to-end solutions to automate processes for our customers using technologies like Python, Robot Framework, and RPA Framework. Keen attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong written communications are required. As an early employee in Thoughtful Automation, this role has unlimited potential in scope with an opportunity for rapid career growth. Thoughtful Automation is a remote-first company and prioritizes diversity. If you're up for the challenge, we look forward to meeting you.
