About The Position

As a leading financial services and healthcare technology company based on revenue, SS&C is headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut, and has 27,000+ employees in 35 countries. Some 20,000 financial services and healthcare organizations, from the world's largest companies to small and mid-market firms, rely on SS&C for expertise, scale, and technology. Job Description The Mission You will be responsible for the end-to-end health and availability of our RPA ecosystem. Your goal is to move the team toward a "Zero-Downtime" model by architecting a resilient infrastructure that spans on-prem VMware clusters.

Requirements

• 7+ Years Experience: A background in Production Support, Systems Administration, or RPA Architecture.
• Development Experience: 3+ years of hands-on Blue Prism Development (Object/Process Studio). You must be able to write and debug .NET code stages independently.
• Experience with API integration (RESTful, SOAP)
• Blue Prism Infrastructure Mastery: Deep expertise of V6/V7 infrastructure components (Server, Database, Runtime Resources).
• AI Exposure: Practical experience using Claude, GPT-4, or similar models (Whisper, Qwen) to assist in technical design, documentation, and debugging.
• Database, Networking & Security: Advanced SQL Server proficiency (troubleshooting execution plans/deadlocks) and a solid understanding of VM networking, Load Balancers and Active Directory.
• SLA Discipline: Experience in high-pressure financial services environments where "Zero-Downtime" is the baseline expectation.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex technical failures into clear risk assessments for senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• VMware Infrastructure Management: Maintain and optimize the on-premise VM cluster. You will be responsible for resource allocation (CPU/RAM), monitoring host health, and ensuring that Blue Prism Runtime Resources have the low-latency connectivity required for financial processing.
• Kubernetes (K8s) Orchestration: Oversee the transition of support services and modular RPA components into containerized environments. You will manage pod health, scaling policies, and service meshes to ensure consistent performance across the cluster.
• Infrastructure Governance: Architect and maintain a stable, scalable Blue Prism environment. You will optimize Application Server configurations and manage the connectivity between Interactive Clients and Runtime Resources.
• Scalability & Resource Management: Design multi-VM scaling strategies to handle high-volume financial processes. You will be responsible for managing resource locks, session variables, and Work Queue logic to ensure zero contention during peak runs.
• L3/L4 Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead the investigation of critical production terminations. You are expected to move beyond "restarts" and identify underlying architectural flaws in the code or infrastructure to implement permanent fixes.
• Production Code Refactoring: When a process fails in production, you will use your Blue Prism development expertise to perform a line-by-line code review. You will be responsible for refactoring inefficient "Wait Stages," optimizing "Code Stages" (.NET/C#), and correcting flawed exception-handling logic.
• Performance Engineering: Partner with the database team to troubleshoot SQL deadlocks, optimize T-SQL queries for Blue Prism work queues, and monitor memory management to prevent VM crashes.
• Proactive Reliability: Implement automated "Watchdog" frameworks and heartbeat monitoring to identify potential SLA breaches before they impact the business.
• Technical Sign-off: Serve as the final gatekeeper for production migrations, verifying that every process has 100% scenario coverage, proper alerting, and notification governance.

Benefits

• SS&C offers excellent benefits including health, dental, 401k plan, tuition and professional development reimbursement plan.
