Full Job Description

We are looking for an ambitious developer to help us transition from traditional RPA (Robotic Process Automation) techniques and replace it with smart, code-first Agentic Automations. Working alongside senior engineers, you will use Python, C# .NET, and advanced AI gateways to build autonomous agents and robust UI workflows. A core part of your day-to-day will involve using BluePrism WorkHQ to keep high-throughput transactional data moving smoothly and securely. If you want to move into modern, AI-driven software delivery, this is where you start. What You Will Get To Do:

  • I-Driven Development: Build, test, and maintain automation workflows using modern AI tools like Claude Code to accelerate software delivery and support agentic processes.
  • AI & Agentic Implementation: Assist in developing and deploying AI agents and skills that connect to Large Language Models (LLMs) via the SS&C AI Gateway, coordinating them with Digital Workers.
  • Modern UI Automation: Develop robust automation components targeting desktop applications using FlaUI and modern web systems using Playwright.
  • Work Queue & Platform Management: Implement and configure automation queues within WorkHQ (the SS&C Blue Prism RPA and agentic platform) to manage transactional data, case locking, and exception-handling logic for hybrid workflows.
  • Solution Support & Collaboration: Contribute code and configuration to end-to-end Intelligent Automation (IA) solutions, including workflows involving Blue Prism Chorus for human-in-the-loop intervention.
  • Prompt Engineering: Write, test, and refine prompt structures and system instructions to ensure predictable and structured outputs from AI models.
  • Standards & Governance: Follow established GIDS best practices, ensuring all code, agents, and generative AI integrations adhere to enterprise security, data privacy, and ethical guardrails.

    Python: Strong foundational knowledge or professional experience using Python for data processing, scripting, or web-based automation workflows (e.g., Playwright).
  • C# .NET: Solid understanding of C# for building backend integrations and handling native desktop interactions via FlaUI.
  • TypeScript: Familiarity or academic/professional project experience with TypeScript for web automation (Playwright) or API coordination.
  • Database & SQL Competency
  • Relational Databases (PostgreSQL / MS SQL): Solid capability in writing SQL queries, joining tables, and managing data for transactional logging and configuration.
  • Generative AI & Intelligent Automation
  • AI Development Tools: Hands-on exposure to or a strong interest in working with modern AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code), LLM APIs, or open-source AI frameworks.
  • Data Transformation: Basic understanding of or exposure to processing unstructured data (e.g., PDFs, emails) using GenAI extraction or OCR tools.
  • Prompt Engineering: Awareness of basic prompting techniques (e.g., Few-Shot, Chain-of-Thought) and an understanding of how text-based AI models operate.
  • Platform & Framework Infrastructure
  • UI Automation Libraries: Familiarity with Playwright for web automation/testing and FlaUI (or similar accessibility-based frameworks) for desktop interactions.
  • Automation Ecosystems: Experience or training with Blue Prism Enterprise (v7.x preferred) or a similar RPA platform, with a preference for backend, API, and Control Room management over legacy client-side recording.
  • Queue Configuration: Understanding of work queue concepts, transactional priority tagging, and exception-handling logic.
  • Preferred Experience (Nice-to-Have)
  • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent commercial experience).
  • Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and version control systems like Git.
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
  • Basic awareness of Vector Databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone) or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) concepts.
  • Any foundational Blue Prism certifications.
