The ideal candidate is an experienced RPA developer who is curious about where automation is heading and ready to build across a broader engineering toolkit. HUB operates a large and growing production bot portfolio across claims processing, policy administration, financial reconciliation, compliance reporting, and regional operations. The Automation Engineer will contribute directly to the health, velocity, and quality of this portfolio by building resilient automations, supporting production stability, and helping evolve the team's engineering standards.
