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

Design, develop, test, and deploy production-grade automations primarily using UiPath across multiple business functions and operational areas

Build and maintain complex bot architectures, including multi-system integrations, structured exception handling, retry logic, and recovery patterns

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
