POSITION SUMMARY:
Under limited direction, the Senior Automation Developer will design and build modern automations across multiple platforms, connect on-prem systems with cloud services, and start to embed AI/agentic capabilities into how we work.
This role will be responsible for taking manual, error-prone processes and turning them into secure, resilient, and observable automations using a mix of tools: RPA, low-code/no-code automation, iPaaS, APIs, and cloud functions (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Cloud Functions). Experience integrating LLM / AI agents into workflows is a major plus.
This role is hands-on, but also highly collaborative and will partner with business stakeholders, architects, security, and data teams to prioritize opportunities, implement solutions, and establish automation standards and best practices.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
Automation Design & Development

-
Implements robust error handling, retries, logging, and monitoring to ensure automations are reliable and supportable in production.
AI & Intelligent Automation
-
Experiments with and, where appropriate, implements AI-powered automations (e.g., LLM-based agents that classify requests, summarize data, draft responses, or orchestrate next steps).
-
Integrates AI/LLM services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or similar) into existing workflows to improve accuracy, speed, or member/employee experience.
-
Help define guardrails and patterns for the safe and compliant use of AI within automation workflows (prompt design, redaction, input/output validation).
Engineering Excellence & Governance

-
Partners closely with Information Security, Risk, and Compliance to ensure automations meet security, privacy, audit, and regulatory requirements.
