Automation Engineer; UIPath) innovative AI Project

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.

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, Service Now, Bitbucket, and Azure Dev Ops, 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.

• 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, Power Shell, 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.

• 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).

• Practical Python or Power Shell 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, Git Hub 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 Dev Ops/Jira, and enterprise systems (Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday, Salesforce, Vertafore, or Oracle Fusion).
