IC4 - FDE

About the role

You will own the design, implementation, and maintenance of robotic process automation solutions that drive critical financial operations. This role requires you to act as a technical owner, setting priorities, sharing progress transparently, and asking for help early to unblock the team. You will be responsible for ensuring that bots operate with the same rigor and lifecycle management as core software, emphasizing version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing. Written communication will be a core part of your success, as decisions are recorded and revisited, and you must make your work easy for others to review and build upon. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary squads in a fintech setting, aligning technology solutions with precise operational and compliance needs. Successful professionals in this field share habits of taking notes, keeping commitments, and documenting processes so that knowledge is durable and shareable. You will have the opportunity to mentor others, own outcomes end to end, and make your impact visible by solving increasingly difficult automation problems.

Lead technical documentation for automation components, ensuring that process maps, bot logic, and configuration details are current and accessible.

Identify opportunities to scale automation across teams, standardize patterns, and eliminate technical debt to improve long-term maintainability.

Support interview processes for automation roles by providing technical assessments, reviewing candidate submissions, and sharing insights on fit and capability.

Continuously explore new tools, frameworks, and approaches in the robotic and automation space, evaluating their potential value for the organization's fintech context.

Promote a culture of learning and experimentation within the team, encouraging knowledge sharing, blameless postmortems, and constructive feedback.

Act as an automation thought partner to product and operations, advising on where automation can deliver measurable efficiency, compliance, and cost savings.

Requirements

More than five years of RPA development experience is required, including hands-on work with platforms and frameworks common in enterprise automation.

Senior level certifications such as UiPath Advanced are essential, demonstrating deep technical capability and commitment to the profession.

Essential experience in the financial technology or fintech sector applies directly to this role, with a strong understanding of compliance, risk, and operational controls.

You must be proficient in software engineering practices, including version control, CI/CD pipelines, and consuming or designing REST APIs.

You should have a track record of writing clean, maintainable code and building automation that is robust, testable, and easy to debug.

Strong analytical skills are required to diagnose issues in complex workflows, interpret logs, and determine root causes in distributed automation environments.

You must be comfortable working in regulated environments where documentation, traceability, and auditability are non negotiable.

Effective written and verbal communication is required, as you will regularly interact with technical and business audiences and document decisions for future reference.

Nice to have

Experience with orchestration tools and scheduling frameworks that support automated bot operations in production.

Familiarity with monitoring and observability platforms used to track bot health, performance, and SLA compliance.

Background in designing security controls, identity management, or access governance for automation ecosystems.

Knowledge of data transformation, integration patterns, and database interactions within automated processes.

Experience contributing to open source or internal automation frameworks, libraries, or templates.

Practical notes

Typical interview steps

Interviews in this field typically test judgment, communication, and fit as much as technical skill. Be ready to describe a challenge you faced, what you did, and what you learned.

Most companies value honest answers over polished ones. Whatever the role, preparation is visible.

Reviewing the company's product, the job description, and your own past work before the conversation is the strongest step.

Career growth

Career growth comes from taking on harder problems and making your work visible. Look for opportunities to own outcomes, mentor others, and learn the business beyond your team.

Growth in any career comes from scope, results, and reputation. Take on work that is slightly uncomfortable, and make sure others can see the outcomes.
