Job description

Role Overview-

We are looking for an experienced Automation Architect to define, design, and govern enterprise-wide automation solutions across UiPath, RPA, Microsoft Power Automate/Power Platform, APIs, and enterprise integration technologies.

The role requires strong hands-on automation expertise combined with proven enterprise solution architecture capabilities. The individual will be responsible for establishing architecture principles, defining reusable design patterns, driving technology strategy, and ensuring automation solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise IT standards.

The ideal candidate must possess an enterprise architecture mindset, with the ability to articulate architectural decisions, evaluate technology alternatives, challenge non-standard business or technical requirements, and drive sustainable automation solutions.

Key Responsibilities

1. Enterprise Automation Architecture: Design and govern end-to-end automation architectures across multiple business processes, applications, and platforms, ensuring scalability, security, resilience, reusability, and maintainability.
2. Architecture Principles & Standards: Define and establish enterprise automation architecture principles, reference architectures, reusable frameworks, design patterns, and technology guidelines.
3. Technology Strategy: Drive technology selection and adoption across UiPath, RPA, Power Automate, Power Platform, APIs, and integration technologies based on business value, technical feasibility, scalability, TCO, and enterprise strategy.
4. Architecture Governance & Reviews: Lead solution architecture reviews, evaluate technical designs, integration approaches, security controls, exception handling, and production readiness. Ensure adherence to enterprise architecture standards.
5. Constructive Challenge & Decision Making: Critically assess business requirements and proposed solutions. Challenge approaches that introduce unnecessary complexity, duplicate capabilities, bypass governance, or conflict with enterprise standards. Recommend sustainable alternatives and articulate the associated trade-offs.
6. Enterprise Integration: Define integration strategies across APIs, enterprise applications, databases, legacy systems, and cloud platforms, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity.
7. Technical Leadership: Provide architectural direction and mentoring to RPA developers and engineering teams, ensuring consistency and adherence to approved standards.
8. Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities for process optimization, platform standardization, reusable components, technical debt reduction, and automation maturity improvement.

Required Skills & Experience

• 12+ years of overall IT experience, with 5+ years in Automation Architecture, Solution Architecture, or Enterprise Automation leadership.
• Strong hands-on experience in UiPath and enterprise RPA implementations, including complex production deployments.
• Proven experience in designing and governing enterprise-scale automation architectures beyond individual workflows or project-level solutions.
• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture principles, including scalability, resilience, security, reusability, integration, and lifecycle management.
• Demonstrated ability to define and articulate architecture principles, design patterns, technology standards, and architectural decisions.
• Experience with Microsoft Power Automate and the broader Power Platform ecosystem.
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, authentication, system integration patterns, and enterprise application connectivity.
• Experience in automation governance, architecture reviews, CoE frameworks, and production deployment controls.
• Ability to identify architectural risks, technical debt, redundant capabilities, and non-standard implementations.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence business and technology teams and constructively challenge proposed solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• UiPath Solution Architect or Advanced/Senior Developer certification.
• Experience working within an enterprise Automation CoE or centralized governance model.
• Exposure to enterprise architecture frameworks, cloud platforms, API management, and integration platforms.
• Experience defining automation roadmaps, reference architectures, and platform adoption strategies.

Important Candidate Expectations

We are specifically looking for candidates who can demonstrate:

• Enterprise-level automation architecture ownership rather than only RPA development or workflow delivery.
• Ability to explain architectural principles, design rationale, technology choices, and solution trade-offs.
• Experience establishing architecture standards, governance frameworks, and reusable enterprise capabilities.
• Confidence in constructively challenging business and technical requests that do not align with enterprise standards or long-term technology strategy.
• Ability to balance business requirements with scalability, security, cost, maintainability, and enterprise technology direction.

Note: Candidates with experience limited primarily to UiPath development, bot delivery, or individual project-level solution design without enterprise architecture ownership may not be suitable.
