AI Automation Developer

Locations: London, Essex | Hybrid: 6 days a month travel to office

The Opportunity

We are looking for an ambitious developer to help us transition from traditional RPA (Robotic Process Automation) techniques and replace it with smart, code-first Agentic Automations. Working alongside senior engineers, you will use Python, C# .NET, and advanced AI gateways to build autonomous agents and robust UI workflows. A core part of your day-to-day will involve using BluePrism WorkHQ to keep high-throughput transactional data moving smoothly and securely. If you want to move into modern, AI-driven software delivery, this is where you start.

What You Will Get To Do:

• I-Driven Development: Build, test, and maintain automation workflows using modern AI tools like Claude Code to accelerate software delivery and support agentic processes.  

• AI & Agentic Implementation: Assist in developing and deploying AI agents and skills that connect to Large Language Models (LLMs) via the SS&C AI Gateway, coordinating them with Digital Workers.  

• Modern UI Automation: Develop robust automation components targeting desktop applications using FlaUI and modern web systems using Playwright.  

• Work Queue & Platform Management: Implement and configure automation queues within WorkHQ (the SS&C Blue Prism RPA and agentic platform) to manage transactional data, case locking, and exception-handling logic for hybrid workflows. 

• Solution Support & Collaboration: Contribute code and configuration to end-to-end Intelligent Automation (IA) solutions, including workflows involving Blue Prism Chorus for human-in-the-loop intervention.  

• Prompt Engineering: Write, test, and refine prompt structures and system instructions to ensure predictable and structured outputs from AI models.  

• Standards & Governance: Follow established GIDS best practices, ensuring all code, agents, and generative AI integrations adhere to enterprise security, data privacy, and ethical guardrails.  

Technical Skills & Qualifications 

What You Will Bring:

Core Software Engineering Skills 

• Python: Strong foundational knowledge or professional experience using Python for data processing, scripting, or web-based automation workflows (e.g., Playwright).  

• C# .NET: Solid understanding of C# for building backend integrations and handling native desktop interactions via FlaUI.  

• TypeScript: Familiarity or academic/professional project experience with TypeScript for web automation (Playwright) or API coordination.  

Database & SQL Competency 

• Relational Databases (PostgreSQL / MS SQL): Solid capability in writing SQL queries, joining tables, and managing data for transactional logging and configuration.  

Generative AI & Intelligent Automation 

• AI Development Tools: Hands-on exposure to or a strong interest in working with modern AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code), LLM APIs, or open-source AI frameworks.  

• Data Transformation: Basic understanding of or exposure to processing unstructured data (e.g., PDFs, emails) using GenAI extraction or OCR tools.  

• Prompt Engineering: Awareness of basic prompting techniques (e.g., Few-Shot, Chain-of-Thought) and an understanding of how text-based AI models operate.  

Platform & Framework Infrastructure 

• UI Automation Libraries: Familiarity with Playwright for web automation/testing and FlaUI (or similar accessibility-based frameworks) for desktop interactions.  

• Automation Ecosystems: Experience or training with Blue Prism Enterprise (v7.x preferred) or a similar RPA platform, with a preference for backend, API, and Control Room management over legacy client-side recording.  

• Queue Configuration: Understanding of work queue concepts, transactional priority tagging, and exception-handling logic.  

Preferred Experience (Nice-to-Have) 

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent commercial experience). 

• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and version control systems like Git.  

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).  

• Basic awareness of Vector Databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone) or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) concepts.  

• Any foundational Blue Prism certifications.
