About The Position

SS&C Blue Prism allows organizations to deliver transformational business value via our intelligent automation platform. We make products with one aim in mind - to improve experiences for people. By connecting people and digital workers, you can use the right resource, every time, for the best customer and business outcomes. We supply enterprise-wide software that not only provides full control and governance, but also allows businesses to react fast to continuous change. 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. 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.
