Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SS&C Technologies is a leading financial services and healthcare technology company based on revenue, headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with expertise in Blue Prism to manage and optimize the RPA ecosystem, ensuring high availability and performance of the infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- You will be responsible for the end-to-end health and availability of our RPA ecosystem
- Your goal is to move the team toward a "Zero-Downtime" model by architecting a resilient infrastructure that spans on-prem VMware clusters
- Maintain and optimize the on-premise VM cluster
- You will be responsible for resource allocation (CPU/RAM), monitoring host health, and ensuring that Blue Prism Runtime Resources have the low-latency connectivity required for financial processing
- Oversee the transition of support services and modular RPA components into containerized environments
- You will manage pod health, scaling policies, and service meshes to ensure consistent performance across the cluster
- Architect and maintain a stable, scalable Blue Prism environment
- You will optimize Application Server configurations and manage the connectivity between Interactive Clients and Runtime Resources
- Design multi-VM scaling strategies to handle high-volume financial processes
- You will be responsible for managing resource locks, session variables, and Work Queue logic to ensure zero contention during peak runs
- Lead the investigation of critical production terminations
- You are expected to move beyond "restarts" and identify underlying architectural flaws in the code or infrastructure to implement permanent fixes
- When a process fails in production, you will use your Blue Prism development expertise to perform a line-by-line code review
- You will be responsible for refactoring inefficient "Wait Stages," optimizing "Code Stages" (.NET/C#), and correcting flawed exception-handling logic
- Partner with the database team to troubleshoot SQL deadlocks, optimize T-SQL queries for Blue Prism work queues, and monitor memory management to prevent VM crashes
- Implement automated "Watchdog" frameworks and heartbeat monitoring to identify potential SLA breaches before they impact the business
- Serve as the final gatekeeper for production migrations, verifying that every process has 100% scenario coverage, proper alerting, and notification governance
Skills
- 7+ Years Experience: A background in Production Support, Systems Administration, or RPA Architecture

- AI Exposure: Practical experience using Claude, GPT-4, or similar models (Whisper, Qwen) to assist in technical design, documentation, and debugging
- Database, Networking & Security: Advanced SQL Server proficiency (troubleshooting execution plans/deadlocks) and a solid understanding of VM networking, Load Balancers and Active Directory
- SLA Discipline: Experience in high-pressure financial services environments where 'Zero-Downtime' is the baseline expectation
- Communication: Ability to translate complex technical failures into clear risk assessments for senior leadership
- BLUE PRISM EXPERIENCE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THIS POSITION!
