Build and deploy secure business automations and integrations across SaaS tools, internal systems, and APIs. Partner with stakeholders to identify high-impact workflow improvements, apply AI and agentic patterns where appropriate, and establish scalable engineering practices for documentation, testing, access controls, secrets management, logging, and maintenance. The role also helps shape automation infrastructure and team standards while collaborating with security and IT leadership.
Blend is a diverse team of problem solvers who believe that the world’s financial resources should be more accessible. Our cloud banking platform is used by Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and over 330 other financial services firms to acquire more customers, increase productivity, and deliver end-to-end digital experiences. Our software enables our customers to process an average of more than $5 billion in loans per day, making it possible for consumers to reach their financial goals faster and lead better lives. Come do work that matters.
As a Business Automation Engineer, you’ll partner with teams across the company to rethink and refactor how work gets done. You’ll find manual and repetitive processes and then design and build automations to improve the quality of work and day-to-day business life of our internal partners. We’re focused on deploying efficient and adaptable automations that actually solve problems.
As one of the first members of the team, you’ll help build the foundation for a scalable hub of automations and integrations, using both off-the-shelf products and custom code where appropriate. You’ll help shape the workflows that make our team an effective and reliable partner for bringing business processes into an automated, AI-augmented world. You’ll work closely with security and IT leadership from the beginning to ensure the team’s foundations and, therefore, the rest of the company’s internal automation efforts are secure, auditable, and built to last.
