• Complete unit testing and support business users during UAT
• Publish and manage automations in UiPath Orchestrator, including schedules, queues, assets, and related configurations.

Support Automation Outcomes & Value Tracking
• Help measure and report on automation impact (e.g., effort savings, cycle time improvements, risk reduction)
• Align automation work to defined business outcomes and KPI tracking
• Contribute to improving the automation pipeline/backlog and prioritization process
• Identify opportunities to improve existing bots based on operational feedback and performance trends.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Translate Requirements
• Collaborate with business teams to understand process pain points and identify automation candidates
• Participate in solution discussions and convert business requirements into technical designs
• Work closely with project managers, product owners, and technical leads to deliver against priorities
• Support documentation and knowledge transfer to ensure long-term supportability.

Production Support, Maintenance & Reliability
• Monitor live automations and support issue resolution, including troubleshooting and root cause analysis
• Update and maintain bots when process steps or dependent applications change
• Help ensure automations continue to meet reliability, security, and operational standards
• Contribute to runbooks and support documentation for ongoing sustainment.

Standards, Governance & Technical Leadership
• Follow established SDLC, change control, and automation governance practices
• Partner with architecture, security, and platform stakeholders to improve automation frameworks and standards
• Contribute to shared libraries, reusable assets, and development best practices
• Ensure delivery aligns with compliance, legal, and vendor-related requirements where applicable
• Coach and support junior/intermediate developers and offshore team members
• Act as a trusted technical resource for both business and technology partners
• Provide leadership through expertise and collaboration (this is not a people-management role)
