The organisation combines business analytics, automation, system integration, and platform modernisation to solve complex business challenges and deliver measurable commercial outcomes. The company operates with a lean and collaborative approach, bringing together the right technical expertise for each client engagement while maintaining a strong focus on innovation, flexibility, and long-term business value.

Personal Attributes - Strong ownership and accountability with the ability to work independently. - Proactive and confident problem solver. - Comfortable delivering complete solutions with minimal supervision. - Adaptable and calm when working in evolving client environments. - Team-oriented with a continuous-improvement mindset. - Strong commitment to documentation, quality, and operational excellence. ## Responsibilities Automation Development & Optimisation - Reverse-engineer existing workflows and automations to identify inefficiencies, technical issues, and opportunities for improvement. - Provide practical implementation options and well-founded recommendations rather than simply identifying problems. - Design and build new automation solutions across multiple platforms, systems, and workflows. - Develop scalable automation solutions incorporating appropriate integration and implementation patterns. End-to-End Delivery - Take full ownership of assigned automation workstreams from requirements and design through to build, testing, deployment, documentation, and handover. - Ensure automations include appropriate exception handling, monitoring, documentation, and operational support processes. - Troubleshoot integration and workflow issues and implement sustainable solutions. - Support medium-to-enterprise client engagements, including integration-focused and lift-and-shift workstreams. Business Analysis & Documentation - Gather and analyse requirements and translate business processes into practical automation solutions. - Document workflows, system processes, requirements, and implementation decisions clearly. - Produce client-ready workflow diagrams, SOPs, and handover documentation that enables operational teams to support solutions independently. - Maintain clear workflow visibility through Jira or similar delivery management platforms. Reusable Solutions & Continuous Improvement - Develop reusable automation components, standardised recipes, integration patterns, and internal playbooks. - Identify recurring requirements and opportunities to improve scalability and delivery efficiency. - Contribute to continuous improvement of automation practices, documentation, and delivery processes. Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement - Work closely with technical leads, solution teams, and stakeholders to ensure automation initiatives meet client requirements. - Clearly communicate automation workflows, technical considerations, progress, and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences. - Provide regular written delivery updates and clear asynchronous communication to minimise unnecessary meetings and dependencies. - Operate autonomously while contributing effectively to the wider delivery team. ## How we take care of our team 💰 Get paid in Australian Dollars 🏥 Medical insurance from day one for you + spouse (or parents if unmarried) 🩺 Generous OPD coverage from doctor visits to all your medical needs 🏡 Home office setup allowance to build your ideal workspace 🌐 Internet allowance to keep you connected 💪 Gym & wellness allowance to stay fit and balanced 🎉 Work hard, play hard – regular team events & engagement activities 🧠 Diji Assist – Mental health & counseling support when you need it 📚 We invest in you – reimbursement for industry certifications 🗣️ Open-door culture – your ideas and feedback always matter 🌍 Flexible work – home or office, wherever you do your best work 🏆 Rewards & recognition that actually recognize you 🥳 Great christmas & financial year-end parties to unwind with your loved ones ## About Dijital Team ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Dijital Team is a global technology services provider that builds dedicated offshore IT teams for MSPs and IT businesses, enabling them to accelerate growth and improve margins. - **Entity Type**: Private (bootstrapped;
