We’re looking for builders who want to be early — not in a startup with no guardrails, and not in a legacy organization where change is slow, but in the rare middle ground where innovation actually ships. This team has a clear mandate and strong executive air cover: AI and automation were called out as a strategic priority on our most recent earnings call and are top of mind for the CEO and executive team, with direct support from senior leadership. The opportunity is ownership — helping reimagine how banking gets done by blending legacy and modern technologies, building durable capabilities from the ground up, and contributing to a model for what a 21st-century bank can look like.

Why this role:

This is a ground-floor opportunity to define how intelligent automation is built at Customers Bank — not inheriting someone else’s stack or maintaining legacy bots but architecting an automation capability from scratch using modern engineering approaches on Azure. The work is highly visible, directly tied to strategic initiatives across the bank, and offers significant room to grow into a leadership role as the function scales.

What You’ll Do:

The Intelligent Automation Developer will play a critical role in building Customers Bank’s enterprise automation capability from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to join at the earliest stage of our automation journey and directly shape how intelligent, agentic solutions are designed, delivered, and scaled across the organization.

Operating within a cross-functional delta team model, the Intelligent Automation Developer will partner directly with business stakeholders to eliminate manual work, improve operational efficiency, and deliver durable automation solutions built on modern software engineering practices. The role sits at the intersection of operations, technology, data, and AI — and requires someone equally comfortable writing production-grade code as they are engaging with business SMEs to understand and re-engineer complex workflows. As an early member of the automation function, this individual will also help establish the engineering culture, standards, and tooling decisions that define how the team builds and scales.

This position sits within the Strategy & Innovation organization and contributes directly to high-visibility initiatives tied to operational efficiency, AI enablement, and intelligent automation.

• Design, build, and deploy enterprise-grade automation and agentic solutions using Python and other relevant languages and frameworks, LLMs, orchestration layers, and third-party systems as needed to solve complex operational problems.
• Build agentic solutions capable of autonomous reasoning, multi-step task execution, and dynamic decision-making — including solutions that incorporate LLM-based orchestration, tool use, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints where appropriate.
• Automate a wide range of processes, including structured and semi-structured workflows, exception handling and decision-based flows, multi-system integrations, reconciliat
