📌 Summary
We are seeking a hands-on, execution-focused Senior Automation & AI Systems Developer (UiPath & Power Platform) to build, scale, and maintain enterprise automations across our client's regional operations. In this role, you will own the end-to-end development lifecycle for production-grade bots on a mature estate, while actively expanding into cutting-edge AI-assisted and agentic automation patterns.
This position balances rigorous build and production support work on a high-volume platform with a genuine, applied pathway into modern AI engineering. Working across UiPath, Microsoft Power Platform, Anthropic Claude, and REST APIs, you will build complex bot architectures, integrate language models, and construct resilient, multi-system workflows.
🏢 General Information (About the Client)
Our client operates a mature, enterprise-scale Center of Excellence (CoE) running a robust production estate—executing over 19,000 monthly jobs across 125+ unattended production robots and 200+ active automations.
Operating within a modern tech environment utilizing UiPath, Power Platform, Anthropic Claude, ServiceNow, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, they are actively advancing from traditional UI-level RPA into agentic automation patterns. They foster a disciplined, engineering-first culture that prioritizes reusable code libraries, structured exception handling, robust CI/CD practices, and strict compliance-ready documentation.
Tasks and Deliverables
Production Automation Development: Design, develop, test, and deploy resilient, production-grade automations primarily on UiPath across core business lines.
Complex Architecture Engineering: Build and maintain advanced bot architectures incorporating multi-system integrations, structured exception handling, retry logic, and automated recovery patterns.
AI & Agentic Service Composition: Integrate AI capabilities directly into automation workflows, utilizing Anthropic Claude, Document Understanding, classification models, and structured LLM prompts.
Power Platform Back-End Integration: Construct and support modern user interfaces using Power Apps / Power Automate backed by robust UiPath and API execution engines.
API & Scripting Extensions: Extend automation capabilities beyond basic UI automation by writing custom Python, PowerShell, REST API, and webhook integrations.
Production Support & Incident Triage: Troubleshoot and resolve production bot failures with minimal downtime, managing queues, analyzing logs, and working closely with architects.
Code Quality & Governance: Contribute to reusable component libraries, conduct peer code reviews against team standards, and maintain audit-ready technical documentation.
Required Experience
UiPath Engineering Seniority: 3+ years of dedicated, hands-on RPA development experience with UiPath as your primary platform.
Production-Grade Bot Experience: Proven track record building and supporting automations running live in production—demonstrating deep mastery of exception handling, logging, error recovery, and multi-system integration (training exercises/POCs do not qualify).
Database & SQL Proficiency: Practical experience writing SQL queries for data manipulation, extraction, and validation within automated pipelines.
Active UiPath Certification: Hold a current, active UiPath developer credential (e.g., Automation Developer Professional, Automation Developer Associate, Specialized AI Professional, or valid Advanced RPA Developer / UiARD).
Agile Delivery Practice: Demonstrated experience delivering software within an Agile framework (daily standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, backlog grooming).
Preferred Qualifications (Plus):
Practical Python or PowerShell scripting for advanced orchestration, data manipulation, and custom API connections.
Experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate), REST APIs, webhooks, or AI-assisted development tools (UiPath Autopilot, GitHub Copilot, Anthropic Claude).
Exposure to agentic automation patterns, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), process/task mining, or secondary RPA platforms (Automation Anywhere).
Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, Azure DevOps/Jira, and enterprise systems (Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday, Salesforce, Vertafore, or Oracle Fusion).
