As a Junior Automation Developer, you are joining CyPro's automation function at the ground level, working directly with the Head of Automation to build the systems that run the business.

Your primary goal is to learn fast and grow into an independently capable automation developer: someone who can take a business problem from a colleague, design the workflow and data model, build it, test it, document it, ship it and support it. You will receive structured mentoring and pair on live builds from your first week, with the clear objective of progressing into an Automation Developer position owning systems end to end.

• Follow CyPro's build standards, design and maintain database schemas, migrations and queries for the systems you work on.
• Diagnose and fix failing or silently misbehaving workflows, learning our catalogue of known failure modes and adding to it.

• Build and document API and webhook…
