Job description

UiPath RPA Developer

We are currently recruiting for an experienced UiPath RPA Developer to join a team responsible for designing, developing and delivering robotic process automation solutions that improve business efficiency, streamline processes and reduce manual workloads.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically skilled developer with strong hands-on UiPath experience who can take automation projects through the full development lifecycle, from initial process discovery and requirements gathering through to solution design, development, testing, deployment and ongoing support.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, deploy and maintain robotic process automation solutions using UiPath Studio.


• Build robust, scalable and reusable automation workflows, following development best practices and established frameworks, including REFramework.


• Use UiPath Orchestrator to manage and monitor automation processes, including scheduling, execution, assets, queues, triggers and robot management.


• Work closely with business stakeholders, subject matter experts and process owners to understand existing processes and identify opportunities for automation.


• Conduct process assessments, requirements gathering and feasibility studies to determine whether processes are suitable for RPA.


• Translate business requirements into technical solution designs and develop automation workflows that meet operational needs.


• Configure selectors, variables, arguments, queues and assets to ensure automations run reliably and efficiently.


• Implement appropriate exception handling, retry mechanisms, logging and recovery procedures to minimise automation failures.


• Integrate UiPath solutions with business applications, databases and external systems using APIs, SQL, Excel and XML.


• Develop and support both attended and unattended automation solutions.


• Carry out unit, integration, regression and functional testing to ensure solutions are reliable and fit for purpose.


• Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), resolve defects and implement changes based on stakeholder feedback.


• Manage deployments across development, test and production environments, ensuring releases are controlled and properly documented.


• Monitor live automations, investigate production issues, carry out root-cause analysis and implement fixes to maintain service performance.


• Maintain technical documentation, process design documents, solution design documents, test scripts and operational support guides.


• Work collaboratively with other developers, technical teams and business stakeholders to deliver automation projects within agreed timescales.


• Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement activities.

Essential Experience and Skills

The successful candidate will ideally demonstrate:

• At least 2 years of hands-on experience developing automations using UiPath Studio and UiPath Orchestrator.


• Strong practical knowledge of the UiPath platform and its core development features.


• Experience building and maintaining automation workflows using REFramework.


• Good understanding of selectors, queues, assets, triggers, variables and exception handling.


• Programming experience using VB.NET and/or C#.


• Experience integrating applications and systems using APIs, SQL databases, Excel and XML.


• Understanding of attended and unattended automation deployment.


• Experience supporting automations in live production environments, resolving errors and implementing fixes.


• Knowledge of automation testing, including unit testing, integration testing, regression testing and UAT.


• Understanding of secure automation development, including credential management, sensitive data handling and audit logging.


• Experience producing technical documentation and following structured development and release processes.


• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate processes and identify effective automation solutions.


• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable Experience

It would be advantageous to have experience with:

• UiPath AI Center and Document Understanding.


• UiPath Communications Mining and UiPath Agents.


• UiPath Data Service and UiPath Insights.


• UiPath Automation Hub and Test Suite.


• Git, Azure DevOps or other source control and development management tools.


• Agile development methodologies and collaborative project delivery.


• UiPath Certified RPA Developer Associate or Advanced certification.


• A degree or equivalent qualification in Computer Science, Software Development, IT or a related discipline.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a proactive and technically capable RPA Developer who can work independently while contributing effectively to a wider automation team. You will be comfortable taking ownership of automation projects, understanding business requirements and developing reliable solutions that deliver measurable improvements.

You should have a strong attention to detail, a methodical approach to troubleshooting and the ability to manage multiple development activities. The ideal candidate will also be confident communicating with stakeholders, explaining technical solutions in straightforward language and providing ongoing support to ensure automations continue to operate effectively.
