Overview
At BusPatrol, we’re transforming student transportation safety through cutting-edge technology and real-time automated enforcement. We're seeking an IT Automation Engineer to be at the forefront of our IT Operations evolution—replacing manual toil with code, durable serverless workflows, and reliable integrations across Microsoft 365, Azure, Freshservice, Jira, and our line-of-business platforms (AlertBus, Console, NetSuite, OpenPath, Five9, Tableau, Ashby, and more).
You will lead the design, build, and operation of these automations end-to-end—a hands-on engineering role embedded in the IT Service Operations & Enablement (ITSOE) team. You will own production Azure Function Apps, Azure Automation runbooks, Power Automate flows, and Playwright-driven web automations that replace manual, repeatable processes in IT operations.
You’ll collaborate with ITSOE leadership, service desk agents, and business partners to identify high-volume, manual work and replace it with reliable, observable, well-tested automations—moving the team from reactive ticket processing to proactive platform enablement.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, deploy, and support secure IT automations across Azure, Power Platform, and related enterprise platforms using least-privilege and production-ready standards.
- Develop and maintain automation solutions using TypeScript/Node.js, PowerShell, and Python, selecting the right toolset for each use case.
- Administer and optimize Azure services that support automation, including Function Apps, Automation Accounts, Logic Apps, Storage, Key Vault, Service Bus, and monitoring tools.
- Build and support event-driven, scheduled, and API-based workflows that improve IT service delivery, onboarding, offboarding, access management, and audit processes.
- Create and maintain integrations across core business systems such as Freshservice, Jira, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, SharePoint, and other SaaS platforms.
- Perform ticket and operational data analysis to identify high-value automation opportunities by evaluating volume, repeatability, business impact, process stability, and technical feasibility.
- Use data insights to recommend and prioritize automation candidates that reduce manual effort, improve cycle time, and strengthen service quality.
- Apply sound engineering practices including testing, source control, CI/CD, logging, error handling, documentation, and reusable design patterns.
- Monitor automation health and performance through dashboards, telemetry, alerting, and trend analysis, and continuously improve reliability and business outcomes.
- Establish and document standards for selecting the appropriate automation runtime, architecture, and support model for each workflow.
- Partner with Service Desk and IT Operations teams to refine processes, reduce operational friction, and mentor others in automation best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years building production automations in an internal IT, IT Ops, or Service Desk engineering context (L2/L3 or beyond).
- Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript / Node.js and Azure Function Apps, including:
- Durable Functions (orchestrators, activities, fan-out/fan-in, sub-orchestrations, eternal orchestrations).
- HTTP, Timer, Queue, Service Bus, and Blob triggers.
- Retry policies, exponential backoff, idempotent activities, and dead-lettering.
- Production experience with Playwright (Node.js / TypeScript), including:
- Microsoft SSO / Entra login flows and stored auth state.
- Page Object Model, role-based locators, trace/video capture.
- Running at scale via Microsoft Playwright Workspaces or equivalent (Azure Container Apps, self-hosted runners).
- Strong Power Automate (cloud flows) skills — SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, HTTP with Entra ID, Dataverse, custom connectors, approvals, and scheduled flows.
- Hands-on with Azure Automation runbooks (PowerShell 7 and/or Python), including webhooks, schedules, hybrid workers, and shared modules.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Graph API (SharePoint site usage, Entra ID users/groups, license assignment, mail, calendar) and Azure Blob Storage (lifecycle policies, SAS, Managed Identity access).
- REST API integration experience with Freshservice and Jira Cloud — auth, pagination, custom fields, custom objects, webhooks, and the Freshservice Service Catalog.
Nice to Have
- Logic Apps Standard for stateful, connector-heavy orchestrations.
- Azure Service Bus / Event Grid for cross-platform event fan-out.
- Application Insights + Log Analytics (KQL) dashboards and alerting; Azure Workbooks authoring.
- Power Apps (canvas + model-driven) and Dataverse for self-service portals and structured ops data.
- Azure Document Intelligence / Form Recognizer for OCR pipelines on inbound mail or citation documents.
- Microsoft 365 admin depth: Entra ID lifecycle workflows, conditional access, Intune device compliance, SharePoint admin, Exchange Online, Teams.
- Freshservice Workflow Automator, Custom Objects, Onboarding/Offboarding modules, and Freshservice Analytics.
- Integrations with Ashby, NetSuite, Salesforce, Tableau, OpenPath, Five9, or 1Password via API or SCIM.
- Cross-platform observability tooling.
Why Join Us
- Be part of a mission-driven company making roads safer for students and communities.
- Help architect the future of our Automated Safety Platform.
- Work on modern, cloud-native, and serverless technologies.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as an IT Operations Specialist
Align your credential to the CBP category
TN visa approval hinges on the Computer Systems Analyst classification. Your degree transcript and job offer letter must both use systems-oriented language. A title like 'IT Support Technician' can trigger denials even when the actual duties qualify.
Target employers with recent visa sponsorship experience
Use Migrate Mate to filter IT Operations Specialist roles by employers with recent visa filings. Employers experienced with visa sponsorship understand work visa processes and won't delay an offer over unfamiliarity with USMCA procedures.
Prepare a detailed duties letter before interviewing
CBP officers review the employer's support letter closely. Ask hiring managers early whether their offer letter can itemize your specific systems responsibilities. Vague descriptions of 'general IT support' are the most common reason IT operations TN petitions get questioned at the border.
Clarify E-Verify requirements with your prospective employer
Federal contractors and certain industries are required to use E-Verify to confirm employment authorization. Confirm your employer's status before signing an offer so your TN paperwork and work start date are coordinated without compliance gaps.
Distinguish Canadian and Mexican processing paths early
Canadian citizens can present TN documentation directly at a U.S. port of entry without a visa stamp. Mexican citizens must schedule a consular appointment and obtain a TN visa before starting work. Build your timeline around whichever process applies to your citizenship.
Request an indefinite contract term in your offer letter
TN status is granted in three-year increments but can be renewed without a cap on renewals. An offer letter stating a fixed end date can cause CBP to limit your TN period to that date. Negotiate open-ended employment terms before the letter is finalized.
IT Operations Specialist TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an IT Operations Specialist role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, provided the role maps to the Computer Systems Analyst TN category. The job duties must center on analyzing, planning, or managing information systems, not general helpdesk or break-fix support. Your offer letter needs to reflect systems-level responsibilities, and your degree must be in computer science, information systems, or a directly related field.
How does TN compare to H-1B for IT Operations Specialist positions?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can secure approval at the border as soon as you have a qualifying offer. H-1B visa selection is random and limited to 85,000 slots per fiscal year. For Canadian and Mexican IT professionals with a qualifying degree and job offer, TN is a faster and more predictable path than H-1B.
Where can I find IT Operations Specialist jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking TN-sponsored roles in the U.S. You can search IT Operations Specialist positions filtered by TN sponsorship, which cuts out the time spent reaching out to employers who don't understand USMCA work authorization or won't file the supporting documentation.
Can I switch employers on a TN visa as an IT Operations Specialist?
Yes, but your TN status is tied to a specific employer and role. You need a new TN filing before you start work with the new company. Canadian citizens can apply at the border with the new employer's offer letter and support documentation. Mexican citizens must return to a consulate for a new TN visa stamp before beginning the new position.
What happens if my IT Operations Specialist duties change after TN approval?
If your responsibilities shift significantly, such as moving from network administration into a project management or business analyst function, your role may no longer fit the Computer Systems Analyst category. You should work with your employer to obtain a new TN approval reflecting the updated duties before the change takes effect to avoid a status mismatch.
