The ideal candidate is hands-on across Microsoft Copilot / Copilot Studio, Agent Core, Power Automate, and UiPath (including UiPath Agentic Automation/Agentic Orchestration) evaluate which platform and approach - rule-based bot, low-code flow, or autonomous AI agent - best fits a given business process. Automation & AI Agentic Engineer (Intelligent Automation Developer) You'll have opportunity to: Design, develop, test, and deploy automation solutions using UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate, following CoE development standards and reusable component libraries. Build and orchestrate AI agents using Agent Core, UiPath Agentic Automation (agentic orchestration, agent-to-agent/human-in-the-loop workflows), and Microsoft Copilot Studio for goal-driven, autonomous or semi-autonomous process automation. Use GitHub Copilot (chat, inline completion, agent mode) to accelerate development, code review, and testing across automation and supporting application code. Assess incoming automation requests and recommend the right-fit solution (deterministic RPA bot vs. low-code Power Platform flow vs. AI agent vs. hybrid) based on process complexity, data variability, and exception handling needs. Integrate automations with enterprise systems via APIs, databases, message queues, and connectors; manage credentials/secrets securely (vault integration, least-privilege access). ### Implement AI components where required document/IDP processing, LLM-based reasoning steps, prompt design, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns for knowledge-grounded agents. ### Apply governance, security, and responsible-AI practices exception handling, logging/observability, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, data privacy, and bias/hallucination mitigation for agentic components. Participate in solution design reviews (PDD/SDD), UAT, hypercare, and production support/incident triage for deployed bots and agents. Maintain documentation for developed solutions, including agent decision logic, guardrails, and rollback/fallback procedures. Collaborate with Solution Leads/Architects on scalability, CI/CD pipeline integration, and CoE standards adoption; mentor junior developers on both RPA and agentic development practices. Stay current on platform releases (UiPath, Agent Core, Microsoft Power Platform/Copilot, GitHub Copilot) and recommend adoption of new capabilities. ### Qualifications Who You are: Experience: 4 to 7 total automation experience (RPA + AI agentic), or equivalent demonstrated skill for internal candidates transitioning from a traditional RPA Developer/Sr. Developer role. ### Education Bachelor’s(Engineering)/Master’s in computer science or a related field. ### Must Have 3+ years of hands-on RPA development experience with UiPath (workflow design, exception handling, reusable components, and orchestrator administration). Working experience with Microsoft Power Automate (cloud/desktop flows) and familiarity with the broader Power Platform (Power Apps, Dataverse, connectors). Hands-on exposure to Agent Core, UiPath Agentic Automation, or comparable agentic/AI-agent orchestration capability (goal-driven agents, agent-to-agent workflows, autonomous decisioning). Practical experience using GitHub Copilot (or similar AI coding assistant) in day-to-day development. ### Understanding of GenAI/LLM fundamentals prompt engineering, tokens/context windows, RAG concepts, and where AI agents outperform (or underperform) deterministic bots. Proficiency with REST APIs, JSON/XML, SQL, and at least one scripting/programming language (Python, VB.NET, or C#). Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for both rule-based and non-deterministic (AI agent) failure modes. Excellent communication skills to translate business requirements into automation/agent solutions. ### Preferred Qualifications UiPath Agentic Automation certification (Associate/Professional) or relevant Agent Core certification. ### Microsoft Certified Power Platform Developer Associate (PL-400) or Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate (PL-200). GitHub Copilot certification or GitHub Agentic AI Developer certification. Exposure to cloud AI platforms (Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI). ### Core Competencies Category Skills RPA Platform UiPath Low-Code / AI Agent Platforms Microsoft Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Agent Core, UiPath Agentic Automation AI-Assisted Development GitHub Copilot (chat, inline completion, agent mode), Claude Code AI/GenAI Foundations Prompt engineering, LLM basics, RAG, agent orchestration Integration REST APIs, SQL, queues, connectors Governance Exception handling, logging/observability, responsible AI, security best practices Behavioral Attributes Curiosity and continuous-learning mindset toward evolving automation/AI tooling. Comfort working with both deterministic (RPA) and probabilistic (AI agent) systems. Ownership and accountability for solution quality, security, and production stability. Strong cross-functional collaboration with business, security, and architecture teams. ### Additional Information Our Engineering Culture In our Agile/Lean DevOps environment, we've nurtured a culture of innovation and experimentation across our development teams.
