As IT infrastructures become increasingly complex, automation is a means to streamline processes and workflows.
By implementing a series of triggers, alerts, and actions, IT-related workflows are secure, efficient, and more manageable. Automation also eliminates the need for human involvement with repetitive and predictable tasks, freeing up time and resources for more meaningful work.
There are over 37,000 job postings related to IT automation currently featured at LinkedIn. These positions command a median salary of $109,574 for IT automation engineers, and a median salary of $125,398 for senior IT automation engineers.
