• Ability to integrate low-code development platforms (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform) with UiPath.
• Clear articulation of solution designs for complex automations involving RPA, low-code apps, custom connectors, console scripting, and SQL.
• Strong stakeholder management & interpersonal skills, forming good working relationships with teammates (especially Business Analysts).
• Self-reliance in managing, reporting, and estimating effort for your own work.

What would set you apart but isn’t essential…

• University degree.
• Excellent UiPath knowledge, including best practices and technologies (e.g., RE_Framework, Exception handling, UI Automations, API Usage, Libraries, Cloud Orchestrator, Attended vs. Unattended Processes, Action Center).
• Knowledge of .NET (C#) and .NET framework application development.
• Experience with programming (preferable in Java / .NET (C#, VB, etc.)/ VBA / HTML/ SQL) is a plus.
