An exciting opportunity awaits! The Anti-money Laundering Applications team is looking to quickly expand and build on our successful Robotic Process Automation (RPA) pilot and prepare for a larger production roll-out.
As a Lead Software Engineer / RPA Mentor for the team, this individual will be a critical part of the design and large scale roll-out of a new, enterprise-wide Robotic Process Automation (RPA) service offering. During the roll-out, you will be trained on the Blue Prism RPA platform, with the expectation that you become a certified developer. You will be tasked with mentoring and augmenting new partner teams as they on-board, helping to ensure consistency and a quick ramp up to full productivity before rolling to the next team in the boarding process. You will assist with and perform process design and analysis, provide training and consulting services to internal customers, and participate in a wide range of discussions focused on building, enhancing, and supporting our RPA capabilities. You will have the opportunity to work in an innovative and diverse environment, working together with the team and our business partners to rapidly respond to challenges in the automation environment.
