About the Role & Team
The team accelerates operational efficiency across Penn Interactive’s expansive digital portfolio — including theScore Bet, theScore Media, and iCasino. This team drives the automation strategy that powers scale, precision, and speed across our core systems. By leveraging cutting-edge robotic process automation (RPA) and orchestration technologies, we streamline high-impact workflows that enable our teams to focus on innovation and growth. 

As a Senior Automation Engineer, RPA, you will own the automation roadmap and lead the design, implementation, and optimization of UiPath-driven solutions. You’ll manage the backlog of automation initiatives, ensuring alignment with business priorities and measurable ROI. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where you’ll balance strategy and execution — shaping the automation center of excellence while delivering tangible impact across the organization. 

The ideal candidate is an experienced automation professional with a strong background in UiPath, RPA architecture, and process improvement. You’re a builder at heart — equally comfortable designing robust automation frameworks, coaching others, and collaborating with business, data, and engineering partners to ensure each automation delivers real value. Experience in online gaming, entertainment, or other regulated, high-scale industries is a major plus. 

Automation is foundational to Penn’s strategy to operate with agility, reliability, and speed. This team’s mission is to eliminate manual inefficiencies, reduce operational risk, and create intelligent systems that scale seamlessly with our growth.
