Job description

Enterprise automation is broken without rock-solid engineering rigor to back it up. We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Lead to serve as the principal engineering authority across our entire Digitization & Automation (DnA) ecosystem.

Partnering directly with the Intelligent Solutions Lead, you will own the technical execution, infrastructure planning, and code quality across RPA, low-code, AI, and custom software builds. You will bridge high-level architecture and practical implementation by producing technical designs, spinning up reference architectures, and establishing enterprise-grade engineering standards.

The Tech Stack Deep-Dive

Must-Haves:

  • Languages & Core Development: Strong hands-on background in .NET and/or Java.
  • Automation & Low-Code: Practical delivery experience across RPA platforms (Blue Prism or equivalent) and Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio).
  • Cloud & Architecture: Azure Cloud Services, API and enterprise integration design, infrastructure design, and deployment modeling.
  • Engineering Practices: Robust CI/CD pipelines, DevOps/DevSecOps patterns, structured code reviews, and governance-ready technical documentation.
  • Track Record: 8+ years across software engineering, systems development, and automation delivery, backed by a technical degree.
  • Nice-to-Haves:
  • Domain: Banking or financial-services industry experience.
  • Advanced Tech: Deep exposure to enterprise AI implementations and intelligent automation solutions.
  • Certifications: Microsoft, Azure, Power Platform, Blue Prism, or cloud architecture credentials.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect Implementation & Infrastructure: Translate solution designs into robust deployment architectures, technical blueprints, and secure infrastructure models.
  • Build Proof-of-Concepts & Reusable Skeletons: Write reference code, build core frameworks, and tackle high-complexity technical spikes to derisk delivery for development teams.
  • Enforce Code Quality & Governance: Conduct detailed code reviews, eliminate technical debt, and defend technical designs through architecture, security, and production-readiness forums.
  • Scale Engineering Capability: Mentor automation specialists and developers on modern engineering patterns, testability, and DevSecOps best practices.

Why Join Us?

  • High-Impact Technical Ownership: Serve as the definitive engineering authority for an enterprise-scale automation function, not just a manager behind a desk.
  • Modern, Hybrid Tech Ecosystem: Balance traditional enterprise engineering with cutting-edge low-code, GenAI, and Azure cloud tools.
  • Culture of Craftsmanship: Lead an environment that values clean code, reusable architectures, and shift-left engineering over quick, brittle fixes
