Responsibilities What You'll do We are seeking an Automation & AI Agentic Engineer to design, build, and support a hybrid automation portfolio that spans traditional RPA and next-generation agentic AI solutions. 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.
