• Leverage AI tools (Copilot, Claude) to accelerate development, generate automation code, and reduce time-to-delivery
• Build and maintain reusable automation frameworks and modules to support scalable certification and validation workflows
• Automate CVE validation, patch verification, and security remediation, minimizing manual effort and improving response time
• Use AI-assisted approaches to analyze vulnerabilities, generate validation scripts, and improve test coverage
• Integrate automation solutions into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) to enable continuous, auditable validation
• Partner with Security and Platform Engineering to define certification criteria, compliance standards, and validation policies
• Collaborate with vendor partners to ensure consistent certification practices and accelerate onboarding of new releases
• Generate compliance artifacts, reports, and audit evidence, leveraging AI tools where appropriate for documentation and summarization
• Continuously improve automation efficiency, reliability, and observability using both engineering and AI-driven insights

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of strong experience in automation engineering, building scalable workflows and reusable frameworks
• Hands-on expertise with Python, Ansible, or Java (development, integration, troubleshooting)
• Proven experience in security automation, including CVE validation, patching, and compliance evidence generation
• Practical experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar) to accelerate development and debugging
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins) and Git-based workflows
• Solid understanding of Linux, shell scripting, networking fundamentals, and enterprise change management processes
• Experience operating in regulated or audit-driven environments with strong focus on traceability and compliance
