Senior Developer, Business Process Automation

At Edwards Lifesciences, the Intelligent Automation team enables scalable, efficient, and compliant business operations through workflow orchestration, robotic process automation (RPA), and integration. As a Senior Automation Developer focused on low-code platforms (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform, UiPath), you will serve as a technical lead who shapes solution design, delivery approach, and engineering standards across a portfolio of automations. You will partner with process owners, product owners, analysts, architects, and IT teams to translate requirements into secure, reliable solutions; build reusable components and frameworks; and establish best practices that accelerate delivery and reduce operational risk. If you thrive in complex enterprise environments, excel at influencing without authority, and are energized by building governed automation capabilities that deliver measurable business value, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a patient-focused, innovation-driven organization. 

How you will make an impact: 

• Own end-to-end delivery of automation solutions using approved low-code tools (e.g., Power Automate cloud/desktop, Power Apps, UiPath), from discovery and solution design through release, hypercare, and steady-state operations. 

• Lead stakeholder workshops to understand current-state processes, define future-state workflows, document user stories/acceptance criteria, and align on measurable outcomes (cycle time, accuracy, compliance, cost). 

• Design integration patterns leveraging connectors, APIs, and data services (e.g., Dataverse/SQL) and ensure solutions align to enterprise integration, data-handling, and audit requirements. 

• Engineer for resiliency by implementing standardized exception handling, structured logging, alerting/notifications, retry strategies, and proactive monitoring. 

• Define and evolve team standards and reusable assets (templates, child flows, libraries, solution packages, framework components) to improve delivery speed, quality, and maintainability across the automation portfolio. 

• Establish and enforce quality practices (unit/integration testing, peer reviews, test evidence) and drive defect remediation through UAT to meet release and validation expectations. 

• Partner with security, infrastructure, and application owners to implement least-privilege access, credential management, and secure connectivity; proactively identify and mitigate control gaps. 

• Own operational readiness: produce solution designs, runbooks, support models; lead incident triage, root-cause analysis, and preventative actions to improve service stability. 

• Continuously improve existing automations (performance, resiliency, cost) by analyzing telemetry, reducing technical debt, and recommending platform capabilities and roadmap enhancements. 

• Provide technical leadership across project teams by guiding design decisions, unblocking delivery, mentoring developers, and ensuring solutions conform to architecture, quality, and security standards. 

• Drive technical excellence and innovation by evaluating new platform capabilities, establishing patterns for adoption, and sharing recommendations that improve the team’s delivery velocity, maintainability, and compliance posture. 

• Enable the broader automation community through demos, documentation, and reviews; coach citizen developers and project teams to operate within governance, ALM, and security standards. 

What you will need (Required): 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field 

• 5+ years of experience developing and supporting automation solutions using low-code platforms (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform—Power Automate/Power Apps/Dataverse—or UiPath), including design, build, test, deployment, and support. 

• Proven ability to translate business needs into fit-for-purpose solution designs (user stories, process flows, acceptance criteria) and deliver automations in an Agile/Scrum environment while managing dependencies and risk. 

• Hands-on experience with connectors/integrations (REST APIs, HTTP actions, webhooks) and data sources (Dataverse, SQL, SharePoint, SAP/ServiceNow or similar). 

• Relevant certifications (strongly preferred but not required), such as Microsoft Power Platform (PL-100/PL-200/PL-400/PL-500) and/or UiPath certifications. 

• Deep knowledge of platform governance and ALM (environments, solutions, connection references, DLP policies) with demonstrated experience establishing guardrails and delivery patterns; plus, working scripting/coding skills (e.g., JavaScript, PowerShell, Python, or C#) to extend automations when needed. 

• Strong interpersonal skills 

• Excellent documentation and communication skills and interpersonal relationship skills including negotiating and relationship management skills with ability to drive achievement of objectives and communicate to various levels of audience or to explain complex or technical matters in a manner suitable for non-technical audiences. 

• Strong collaboration skills: ability to partner with business process owners, analysts, and IT teams to deliver automation outcomes and communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences. 

• Strong SDLC ownership (analysis, development, QA/UAT support, deployment, and post-go-live support) with a focus on reliability, security, maintainability, and operational readiness. 

• Practical understanding of authentication/authorization concepts (service accounts, OAuth, MFA) and secure handling of sensitive data within automations. 

• Ability to produce clear technical documentation (solution designs, data mappings, test evidence, runbooks) appropriate for regulated environments. 

• Knowledge of best practices related to IT governance, operations, and administration. 

• Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate with architects, platform administrators, and project/program managers to deliver automation solutions aligned to standards, roadmaps, and timelines. 

• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, including troubleshooting production issues and identifying continuous improvement opportunities. 

• Adhere to all company rules and requirements (e.g., pandemic protocols, Environmental Health & Safety rules) and take adequate control measures in preventing injuries to themselves and others as well as to the protection of environment and prevention of pollution under their span of influence/control. 

What else do we look for (Preferred): 

• Experience establishing and operating DevOps/ALM for low-code at scale (pipelines, solution packaging, automated testing) and applying source control practices (Git) for automation assets. 

• Experience building enterprise-grade solutions using Power Platform (custom connectors, Power Fx, plugins) and/or UiPath (REFramework, Orchestrator) in a governed environment, including reusable architecture patterns and operational support models. 

• Exposure to intelligent automation capabilities such as document processing (OCR/IDP), process mining, and/or AI-assisted automation, with an understanding of validation and quality requirements 

• 4 years of relevant industry experience (e.g., medical device, pharmaceuticals, etc.) or in highly regulated environments preferred. 

Aligning our overall business objectives with performance, we offer competitive salaries, performance-based incentives, and a wide variety of benefits programs to address the diverse individual needs of our employees and their families.
