About The Position

The team accelerates operational efficiency across Penn Interactive’s expansive digital portfolio — including theScore Bet, theScore Media, and iCasino. This team drives the automation strategy that powers scale, precision, and speed across our core systems. By leveraging cutting-edge robotic process automation (RPA) and orchestration technologies, we streamline high-impact workflows that enable our teams to focus on innovation and growth. As a Senior Automation Engineer, RPA, you will own the automation roadmap and lead the design, implementation, and optimization of UiPath-driven solutions.
