WHAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR
- Sound architectural judgment. You understand both RPA and AI deeply enough to make principled decisions about when each is the right tool and when neither is. You can push back with data and propose alternatives.
- Production ownership mentality. You don't consider a bot "done" at deployment. You monitor it, catch failures before users do, and drive long-term stability as seriously as new delivery.
- Business-first automation thinking. You measure success in hours saved, error rates eliminated, and cost avoided not lines of code written. You partner with business stakeholders to size and validate impact.
- AI-native engineering curiosity. You're actively exploring where LLM agents, RAG, and agentic frameworks fit into automation pipelines and you're excited to help get there responsibly.
- Clear, cross-functional communication. You can translate technical tradeoffs into plain language for business stakeholders, compliance teams, and leadership and write documentation that outlasts your tenure.
