About the Role

We are seeking a driven and technically versatile RPA Support Engineer to join our Robotic Process Automation team. This role sits at the intersection of development, Level 3 support, and business process automation. The ideal candidate brings solid Python development skills, working knowledge of C# and VB, strong RPA/BPM platform experience, and the ability to independently gather requirements, develop solutions, and resolve production issues with minimal supervision.

Experience: 7+ years.

Key Responsibilities

Development & Automation

• Design, develop, and maintain RPA bots and BPM workflows to automate business processes end-to-end.
• Write Python scripts and automation logic; leverage C# and VB code where required by the RPA platform or integration needs.
• Build and enhance automation solutions across RPA and BPM platforms, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and reusability.
• Test automation builds against defined business requirements and validate outcomes before deployment to production.

Production Support & Helpdesk

• Serve as Level 3 support for RPA and BPM solutions in production, performing root cause analysis and timely resolution of incidents.
• Manage helpdesk tickets related to automation failures, bot exceptions, and process disruptions; coordinate with business teams for quick recovery.
• Monitor bot health, execution schedules, and exception queues; proactively identify and address recurring issues.
• Maintain detailed incident logs, support documentation, and resolution runbooks.

Requirements Gathering & Analysis

• Engage with business stakeholders to elicit, document, and validate automation requirements for new or enhanced RPA/BPM solutions.
• Translate business process requirements into technical specifications and development-ready user stories.
• Perform gap analysis on existing automation to identify improvement opportunities and prioritize enhancements.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on Python development experience; strong scripting, logic-building, and debugging skills.
• Working knowledge of C# and/or VB — sufficient to read, modify, and integrate code within RPA platform contexts.
• Mandatory experience with at least one RPA platform (Blue Prism) or any tool relevant.
• Proven Production Support or Helpdesk experience, with comfort owning incidents from triage through to resolution.
• Demonstrated ability to gather requirements independently and convert them into actionable development tasks.
• Experience testing automation solutions against business and functional requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work with minimal day-to-day guidance.

Preferred Qualifications(Nice to Have)

The following are not mandatory but will significantly strengthen your candidacy:

• Business Analyst (BA) experience, especially in RPA or BPM contexts — understanding how automation replaces or supports business functions is a strong differentiator.
• PowerShell scripting for automation, system administration tasks, or integration with Windows environments.
• Ability to self-direct and think critically without requiring heavy guidance — a proactive, self-starter mindset is highly valued on this team.
• Exposure to process mining or intelligent automation tools complementing RPA.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery and working within sprint-based development cycles.
