Arch Systems is seeking an Automation Engineer, based in the APAC region. The Automation Engineer is a hands-on technical individual contributor embedded within the Platform team, with a primary mission of reducing operational overhead across the organization through automation.

This role is automation-first, not infrastructure-ownership-first. While strong DevOps and infrastructure experience is welcome and useful, success in this role is measured by the reduction of manual work, operational friction, and recurring support effort across teams.

A core responsibility of the role is leveraging AI-assisted tooling to accelerate triage, automation, and remediation—while ensuring all outputs are validated, hardened, and safe for production use.

The Automation Engineer is expected to have sufficient operational depth to independently triage common incidents, participate in on-call rotations, and contribute to CI/CD and platform workflows.

What You Will Own & Drive

Automation & Workflow Optimization

Identify recurring support tickets, operational incidents, and manual workflows across teams.
Design and implement durable automations for issues that occur more than once.
Partner with all internal teams to investigate workflow bottlenecks and eliminate them through automation.

AI-Assisted Automation

Use AI-assisted tools to:
Triage incoming tickets or events
Generalize recurring issues into repeatable solutions
Generate scripts, workflows, or pull requests
Review, validate, harden, and productionize AI-generated output before deployment.
Ensure AI-assisted automation meets reliability, security, and maintainability standards.
Assist other teams, including low-tech teams, in safely adopting AI-assisted automation workflows.

Platform & DevOps Support

Participate in incident triage and operational support, including on-call rotations.
Apply common fixes and remediation steps; escalate complex issues when required.
Contribute hands-on to infrastructure and managed environments as needed.
Support deployments across multiple environments with a weekly release cadence.

CI/CD & Developer Enablement

Improve CI/CD pipelines (primarily GitHub Actions) to reduce failures, latency, and manual intervention.
Automate repetitive build, test, release, and operational tasks.
Reduce cognitive and operational overhead for Engineering teams.

What You Bring to the Table

4+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, or Automation-focused roles.
Strong scripting or programming experience (e.g. Python, Bash, Go, or similar).
Hands-on experience with:
AWS
Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform)
CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions or similar)
Experience operating production systems and responding to incidents.
Demonstrated ability to replace manual or repetitive work with reliable automation.
Clear written and verbal communication skills.

What Makes You Stand Out

Experience automating support or incident response workflows.
Practical experience using AI or LLM-based tools in production environments.
Familiarity with Kubernetes and Helm.
Exposure to security or compliance automation (scanning, controls, reporting).
Experience working with globally distributed teams.
