Senior Software Developer - Automation

Software Developers design, build, configure, and implement new or modified software products and solutions. They collaborate with all members of the Solution Delivery team and Business-IT Engagement team to ensure that products meet requirements (i.e., business, functional, and technical).

This position will suit Developers or Software Engineers with experience of RPA tools such as UiPath (preferable), Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere (experience with other RPA tools will be considered). Experience with Microsoft Azure, Power Apps or Power Automate is also a great fit into this role. Our RPA solutions evolved over time into Intelligent Automation . This means we extend them with cognitive services, such as chatbots (or virtual agents), NLP or OCR to create end to end, digital and intelligent automated solutions for our Stakeholders. We would be happy to consider AI Engineers whose knowledge and experience can help drive this journey. We would also consider Python Engineers who are open to transitioning into the world to RPA and AI.
