Job Description
• Architect and own Kraken’s automation platform, with hands-on development in n8n and complementary no-code/low-code tooling.
• Design and implement end-to-end workflow automations spanning Finance, Compliance, Product, Operations, Engineering, Support, and more.
• Identify operational inefficiencies and build scalable automations that remove manual work and reduce errors.
• Build both code and no-code automations, selecting the right approach based on complexity and long-term durability.
• Partner closely with Business Operations to deliver quick-win automations while broader engineering teams focus on larger enterprise initiatives.
• Integrate internal and external systems, stitching together APIs, data sources, and tools into unified automated workflows.
• Establish workflow standards, best practices, and monitoring frameworks to ensure long-term stability and observability.
• Operate with high autonomy, moving from idea → scoping → design → build → test → deploy with minimal oversight.
• Partner with leaders across the company to identify and execute high-impact automation opportunities.
• Contribute to Kraken’s enterprise automation roadmap, informing future tooling and architectural decisions.
