Overview

Vistas Cloud is seeking a Python and LLM-focused Automation Engineer to lead a strategic migration of existing UiPath orchestration and bots to a Claude Code–driven automation stack. The ideal candidate combines strong Python skills, hands‑on UiPath experience, and practical expertise with Claude Code and other LLM tools to design, modernize, and support production‑ready automations.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze existing UiPath orchestrations, workflows, and dependencies, then refactor or redesign them into Python- and Claude Code–based automations.
• Design, develop, and maintain automation scripts and services in Python, using Claude Code as a primary AI coding assistant to generate, refactor, and test code.
• Leverage Claude Code and other LLM platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Azure/OpenAI) to accelerate development, implement automation patterns, and improve code quality.
• Build and consume REST APIs to integrate automations with internal and external systems; use tools such as Postman for development, debugging, and validation.
• Support, monitor, and stabilize existing UiPath bots during the migration period, including troubleshooting, incident resolution, and performance optimization.
• Implement best practices for safe and reliable LLM‑assisted automation, including prompt design, guardrails, testing, and observability for AI‑generated code paths.
• Collaborate with operations, business SMEs, and other engineering teams to understand current processes, validate migrated solutions, and ensure minimal disruption during cutover.

Required Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in Python for backend development, automation, or scripting (including familiarity with core data structures, control flow, and modular code organization).
• Hands‑on experience with UiPath, including development and/or support of production bots and orchestrations.
• Practical experience using Claude Code and at least one additional LLM tooling platform (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Azure/OpenAI) in real development workflows.
• Strong API development and integration skills: REST, JSON, authentication patterns, error handling, and use of tools like Postman for API testing.
• Prior experience supporting and maintaining bots or automation scripts in production environments (monitoring, logging, incident management, and change control).
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑volume operational environment with evolving priorities and time‑sensitive deliverables.
• Must currently reside in the United States and be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing or executing migration projects (such as re‑platforming RPA solutions, refactoring legacy bots, or cloud migrations of automation workloads).
• Familiarity with other RPA or workflow tools (e.g., Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Power Automate) is a plus.
• PowerShell and SQL experience for operational scripting, data access, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• 100% remote role (U.S.-based candidates only).
• Preference for candidates who can work standard Eastern Time business hours.
• Initial contract term of 6+ months with the possibility of extension based on performance, delivery, and project roadmap.
