Responsibilities:

• Analyze, design, develop, and deploy end-to-end automation solutions with a strong emphasis on business value, cost savings, and operational efficiency across the investment workflows.
• Serve as the primary technical owner for production automation stability — proactively monitoring, triaging, and resolving incidents to maintain zero-defect delivery posture across all live bots.
• Evaluate automation requests and emerging AI capabilities (including LLM agents and agentic frameworks) to determine the optimal solution approach — knowing when RPA, AI, or a hybrid model is the right fit.
• Build and maintain React-based front-end interfaces that surface automation outputs, operational dashboards, and AI-powered workflow tools for business users and stakeholders.
• Integrate LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI) and AI-native patterns — including RAG pipelines, function calling, and streaming interfaces — into automation and operational tooling where applicable.
• Collaborate with the Product Owner during PI planning and sprint ceremonies to translate business requirements into well-scoped, deliverable automation epics and user stories.
• Partner with business units to gather requirements, assess automation opportunities, and design workflows that meet each team's operational and regulatory needs.
• Document automation architecture, design decisions, and process flows using Arc42 or equivalent frameworks to ensure maintainability and knowledge continuity.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers on the squad, establishing code quality standards, review practices, and AI integration patterns.
• Support the evaluation and adoption of emerging automation and AI tooling — including UiPath Autopilot, Agentic workflow frameworks, and Snowflake-integrated data pipelines.
• Act as a liaison and represent automation capabilities and interests when interacting and collaborating with Intelligent Automation teams across the enterprise.
• Qualifications

• Prior work in financial services, healthcare, or other regulated environments preferred.
• Data querying, pipeline integration, and analytics workflows using Snowflake.
