About the Team and the Environment
This role sits within a centralized AI Engineering and Automation Center of Excellence responsible for delivering enterprise-scale automation solutions across a large, distributed North American organization.
This is a mature, production-scale environment, not a pilot program or proof-of-concept operation:
Approximately 125 unattended production robots and more than 200 automations currently in service
Approximately 66 UiPath execution machines
More than 19,000 automation jobs executed every 30 days
Automations supporting business-critical functions including claims processing, policy administration, financial reconciliation, compliance reporting, and operational workflows
Technology Stack:
UiPath (primary automation platform)
Microsoft Power Platform
Anthropic Claude
ServiceNow
Bitbucket
Azure DevOps
The organization is actively expanding into AI-assisted and agentic automation patterns, meaning this role will support both an established automation ecosystem and next-generation intelligent automation initiatives.
Positioning the Opportunity
This is a hands-on engineering role within a mature production environment that offers a genuine path into applied AI engineering and intelligent automation.
It is:
✅ A build-and-support engineering position with meaningful production ownership
✅ An opportunity to work on both traditional RPA and emerging AI-enabled automation solutions
✅ A role focused on developing new automation capabilities while supporting existing production workloads
It is not:
❌ An AI research position
❌ A greenfield-only innovation role
❌ A maintenance-only support position

Extend automation capabilities beyond UI-based RPA using Python, PowerShell, REST APIs, and webhook integrations
Integrate AI services into automation workflows, including document understanding, classification, and large language model interactions
Develop solutions using a Power Platform front-end and automation back-end delivery model
Contribute reusable components, templates, and integration patterns while participating in peer code reviews
Implement logging, audit trails, monitoring, and compliance-ready documentation for all production automations
