Automation Engineer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a couple of critical automation improvements that cut manual tasks significantly and kept release cycles smooth. At my current role I implemented Python-driven automation to orchestrate test runs, with a focus on reliability and quick feedback. One project automated 1500+ test executions across multiple environments, providing consistent results in under one hour per run. I am interested in bringing that approach to [Company Name] and helping the team push CI/CD forward. I’m comfortable with Python and PowerShell, and I’ve built automation frameworks that integrate with common DevOps tools. I’ve contributed to CI/CD pipelines, automated build and release steps, and set up monitoring for automated tasks. I want to align with a team that values clear, maintainable scripts and clear ownership of automation components. In practice, I’ve driven improvements by shaping test automation suites to cover critical paths and reduce flaky tests. A recent project reduced manual checklist steps by migrating them to automated scripts, which let developers focus on core work and cut cycle time. I keep logs and dashboards simple so the team can see progress at a glance and quickly respond to issues. I’m available to chat about how my experience can fit [Company Name] and the Automation Engineer role. I can meet to discuss timelines, priorities, and how I would approach the first 90 days. Kind regards, [Your Name]
