Job Description
Job Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Lead Automation Engineer (Support) with proven experience in Blue Prism/AI and Python, also who leverages Claude and LLMs to redefine how we build, test, and stabilize mission-critical financial systems. In this role, you won't just be managing bots; you will be architecting an AI-augmented SDLC. We need a lead who uses LLMs to refactor legacy code, conduct deep-dive gap analyses, and ensure our production environment is bulletproof.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, test, and deploy RPA processes using the Blue Prism platform, adhering to best practices and coding standards.
- Use Claude to analyze existing BluePrism "Code Stages" (.NET/C#) and legacy SQL procedures. You will be responsible for identifying technical debt and refactoring code for 2x performance gains.
- Develop and integrate Python scripts and modules within Blue Prism processes for complex logic, data manipulation, API interactions, and advanced functionalities not natively supported by Blue Prism.
- Collaborate with Business Analysts and Solution Architects to understand process requirements (PDDs, SDDs) and translate them into efficient and scalable automation designs.
- Use AI to generate complex, synthetic test data and identify "unhappy path" scenarios that traditional unit testing often misses, ensuring 100% production readiness.
- Utilize LLMs to ingest system logs and error reports during L3/L4 escalations to accelerate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and suggest permanent architectural fixes.
- Provide ongoing support, monitoring, and maintenance for deployed RPA solutions, including debugging, patching, and performance tuning.
- Deep understanding of Multi-VM scalability and memory management to prevent production crashes.
- Communicate progress, challenges, and blockers clearly and proactively to team leads and project managers.
- Collaborate closely with business stakeholders, process analysts, and engineering teams using agile delivery practices.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
- 7+ Years Experience: A strong background in C#, .NET, Python, or Java is preferred alongside RPA
- BluePrism Expertise: 3+ years of hands-on experience (V7), specifically with multi-VM architectures.
- Practical experience using Claude, GPT-4, or similar models (Whisper, Qwen) to assist in technical design, documentation, debugging and data extraction
- Integrate automations with AI agents, orchestration tools, and enterprise systems
- Solid understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC/Agile) methodologies.
- Experience with relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle) and writing SQL queries.
- Familiarity with API integration (RESTful, SOAP) concepts.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to work effectively as a contributing member of a team.
Unless explicitly requested or approached by SS&C Technologies, Inc. or any of its affiliated companies, the company will not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
