Senior Intelligent Automation Engineer
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Intelligent Automation Engineer capable of architecting, developing, and delivering robust, scalable, end-to-end automation solutions using RPA, Agentic AI, and emerging automation technologies.
This role requires deep technical expertise across solution architecture, environment setup, deployments, observability, testing, governance, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator who partners closely with business teams to shape automation strategies and deliver high-impact solutions.
While not part of the core requirements, knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a strong advantage, especially for automations that leverage AI-driven agents and advanced decision-making.
