- We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Lead Automation Engineer 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.

- 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.
- 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.
