Role Description:

As a Solutions Engineer/ Business Process Automation Developer, you will be a key driver of efficiency and modernization within the organization.

This role is focused on creative problem-solving and process engineering, using APIs, scripting, and low-code/no-code solutions to connect disparate systems, reduce manual effort, and improve data-driven decision-making.

• Serve as the technical lead for integrating Jira and SharePoint Online, ensuring seamless data flow between platforms.
• Collaborate with stakeholders and business analysts to gather requirements, map existing processes ("as-is"), and design optimized automated workflows ("to-be").
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation, including solution design documents, process flow diagrams, and user guides for all developed automations.
• Provide tier-3 support for deployed automations, including troubleshooting API connection issues, debugging script errors, and refining logic.
• Stay abreast of the latest features and best practices within the Atlassian and Microsoft Power Platform ecosystems to continuously improve solutions.
• Ensure all solutions are developed and deployed in accordance with organizational security and compliance policies.
