About The Position

The RPA Developer is responsible for designing and delivering small, moderate to complex enterprise-grade automation solutions using UiPath, with a strong focus on code quality, reliability, and scalability. This role requires the ability to analyze business requirements independently, identify gaps or risks, and translate processes into well-structured technical and solution designs supported by proper unit testing. The developer is expected to own their work end‑to‑end, apply due diligence, and collaborate closely with project managers and stakeholders to ensure timelines, requirements, and dependencies are clearly understood and met. The role operates within an enterprise SDLC environment and requires familiarity with integration such as APIs, security concepts, version control, CI/CD, and enterprise-grade production support practices. Demonstrates attention to detail, good analytical thinking, and ability to manage assigned work while raising questions, risks, or gaps in a timely manner.

Requirements

Knowledge of UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, and Robot setup, configuration, and usage in an enterprise environment.
Core software development concepts such as object-oriented design, modular coding, error handling, logging, and debugging.
Enterprise SDLC processes, including design reviews, development, testing, deployment, and post-production support.
Integration concepts including APIs, JSON payloads, authentication mechanisms, and system handoffs.
Enterprise security concepts such as SSO, firewall restrictions, and access controls, and how they impact automation design.
Version control and CI/CD practices using Git and Jenkins.
Basics of log analysis and monitoring, including writing basic Splunk queries for troubleshooting and validation.
Web-based applications, Windows-based applications, and cross-platform automation challenges.
Experience developing small, moderate to complex UiPath automations in an enterprise or structured delivery environment, with focus on reliability and maintainability.
Good understanding of UiPath or similar automation platform programming concepts, including robotic framework, exception handling, logging, configuration management, and modular workflow design.
Ability to participate in technical and solution design activities, including contributing to high‑level and low‑level designs and understanding system interactions.
Experience writing unit tests for automations and contributing to or maintaining unit test libraries to support validation and regression testing.
Ability to analyze business requirements, identify gaps or ambiguities, ask the right questions, and translate requirements into workable automation solutions.
Detail‑oriented approach with a habit of performing due diligence and basic research before raising questions or implementing changes.
Ability to manage assigned work independently, prioritize tasks, and meet delivery timelines with minimal oversight.
General programming knowledge beyond low‑code development, with the ability to apply logical structures, debugging techniques, and reusable patterns.
Experience working with web-based applications, Windows desktop applications, and Java‑based applications as automation targets.
Working knowledge of integration concepts such as APIs and JSON, along with a basic understanding of system‑to‑system interactions.
Familiarity with enterprise security and infrastructure concepts including SSO, firewall considerations, and access controls.
Experience using Git for version control and basic exposure to CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins.
Ability to write basic Splunk queries for log review and troubleshooting support.
Experience creating process flows and technical diagrams using tools like Visio.
Familiarity with enterprise SDLC practices, including development, testing, deployment, and post‑production support processes.
Ability to coordinate with Project Managers to provide status updates, highlight risks, and call out requirement gaps or potential timeline issues.
Bachelor’s: Computer and Information Science (Required)
General Experience - 3 to 6 years

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and maintain small, moderate to complex UiPath automations that are scalable, stable, and aligned with enterprise standards.
Apply strong understanding of UiPath or relative automation platform and programming concepts, including robotic framework, exception handling, modular design, and performance optimization.
Analyze business requirements, identify gaps, challenge assumptions, and translate requirements into technically sound automation solutions.
Perform technical and solution design, including high-level and low-level design artifacts, process flow diagrams, and component-level designs.
Develop custom unit tests, create and maintain unit test libraries, and ensure automation reliability through structured testing practices.
Conduct detailed due diligence before raising questions; proactively research, validate assumptions, and propose solutions rather than just identifying issues.
Create and maintain process and technical diagrams using tools such as Visio to clearly represent workflows, system interactions, and dependencies.
Collaborate closely with Project Managers and stakeholders to track deliverables, communicate progress, and call out risks, gaps, missed requirements, or timeline impacts early.
Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement long-term fixes instead of temporary workarounds.
Manage own workload effectively, independently plan tasks, meet deadlines, and maintain a high level of ownership and accountability.
Follow enterprise SDLC practices, including version control, code reviews, and deployment processes.
Work with integration points such as APIs, JSON-based data, and enterprise systems.
Use tools like Git and Jenkins for version control and CI/CD processes.
Write Splunk queries for log analysis and monitoring.
Build and troubleshoot Alteryx workflows when required.
Performs other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
