About The Position

Under limited direction, the Senior Automation Developer designs and builds modern automations across multiple platforms, connects on-premises systems with cloud services, and helps embed AI and agentic capabilities into work processes.

This is a hands-on, collaborative position that partners with business stakeholders, architects, security, and data teams to prioritize automation opportunities, implement solutions, and establish automation standards and best practices. The position is currently hybrid-eligible, with three pre-assigned onsite days per week. California residency and residence within a 50-mile commute of the Santa Ana headquarters are required. The targeted annual salary range is $146,336 to $182,920; the final offer depends on experience, education, training, certifications, and specialized skills.
