Job Description:

Senior Blue Prism Developer & Automation Owner
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Blue Prism Developer to own our production automations end to end. This role combines hands-on development and production support with ownership of the automation backlog and direct partnership with business stakeholders. The right candidate will keep our bots running reliably, resolve issues at the root, and make sure the automation roadmap reflects what the business needs most.

Key Responsibilities



Development & Production Support
Develop, debug, and enhance Blue Prism processes and objects following established design standards and best practices.
Monitor and manage bot execution in Control Room, including schedules, sessions, and work queues, so production runs as expected.
Provide L1/L2/L3 support for production automations: triage incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and implement permanent fixes rather than workarounds.
Support and maintain ABBYY-based document capture components integrated with Blue Prism workflows.
Support platform activities such as upgrades, patching, configuration, and release deployments.



Backlog Ownership
Own the automation backlog end to end, including intake of new requests, effort and value assessment, and prioritization of enhancements, new automations, and break-fix work.
Align backlog priorities with business needs and communicate trade-offs and timelines clearly.
Deliver committed work on time and to a high quality standard.



Business Partnership
Serve as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders on their automations.
Build strong working relationships and learn stakeholders' processes, pain points, and goals.
Proactively communicate status, incidents, and resolutions.
Identify new automation opportunities and translate business needs into technical solutions.
Partner with business users on requirements, UAT, and change validation.



Documentation
Create and maintain technical and operational documentation, including process design documents, runbooks, and exception-handling logic.
Document process logic and dependencies clearly enough to support future re-platforming or decommissioning decisions.

Required Skills
5+ years of hands-on Blue Prism development, including object/process design, exception handling, and work queue management.
Strong production-support experience with Control Room, the scheduler, and session troubleshooting, including L1/L2/L3 support.
Experience owning and prioritizing an automation or application backlog.
Proven ability to build trusted relationships with business stakeholders and translate their needs into technical solutions.
Working knowledge of ABBYY FlexiCapture or similar IDP/OCR tools.
Experience automating against enterprise applications (SAP strongly preferred).
Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication with both technical and business audiences.
Preferred Skills
Blue Prism Developer or Professional Developer certification.
Python scripting or API-based integration experience.
Exposure to modern intelligent document processing or data platforms (e.g., Databricks).
Experience working in an onshore/offshore delivery model.
