This role will serve as a key technical contributor supporting the development of a unified operational application that provides near-real-time visibility into existing automation workflows, intelligent exception management, operational analytics, and AI-enabled decision support. The solution will leverage UiPath Apps, UiPath Orchestrator, APIs, and AI capabilities within a Department of War (DoW) enterprise environment. Unlike a traditional RPA developer position focused primarily on building individual bots, this role requires a broader understanding of the UiPath platform and the ability to architect and develop an application that integrates and monitors existing production automations. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on UiPath development skills with solution architecture, API integration, data visualization, troubleshooting, and customer-facing technical leadership. Responsibilities:Design and develop an AI-powered Command Center application using UiPath Apps to provide a consolidated operational view of existing production automation workflows. Serve as a technical lead for the UiPath solution architecture, including application design, integration patterns, security considerations, data flows, and deployment approach. Configure and support the UiPath Apps development and runtime environment within a DoW enterprise platform. Integrate existing production automations with the Command Center using UiPath Orchestrator APIs, REST APIs, OData, queues, jobs, processes, and automation telemetry. Develop near-real-time dashboards and application views displaying automation execution status, performance metrics, queue depth, processing times, completion rates, exceptions, and other operational indicators. Develop drill-down functionality that enables users to analyze individual automation executions, process instances, transaction-level details, historical trends, and exception conditions. Design and implement exception-management workflows that enable users to identify, classify, prioritize, acknowledge, assign, escalate, and resolve automation exceptions. Support integration of AI and Generative AI capabilities to enable capabilities such as natural-language querying, exception analysis, anomaly identification, trend analysis, and decision support. Work with technical and functional stakeholders to assess existing production automations, Orchestrator configurations, queue structures, telemetry, data availability, exception patterns, and integration requirements. Design solutions that securely integrate disparate automation and operational data while maintaining appropriate role-based access controls (RBAC), authentication, and authorization. Support integration and authentication using enterprise security mechanisms including OAuth 2.0 and CAC/PKI, as applicable to the Government environment. Conduct functional testing, integration testing, troubleshooting, and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with Government stakeholders. Participate in iterative design and refinement sessions to optimize application layouts, user workflows, alerts, exception prioritization, and operational dashboards. Develop technical documentation including solution architecture, interface and integration documentation, configuration documentation, deployment procedures, troubleshooting guidance, and knowledge-transfer materials. Conduct technical demonstrations, training, and knowledge-transfer sessions for Government users and technical personnel. Collaborate closely with Ignite engineers, project leadership, Government technical teams, UiPath/platform administrators, automation developers, and business process owners. Help establish scalable architecture and integration patterns that can support future expansion across additional automation workflows, operational use cases, and DoW organizations. Required Qualifications: 5+ years of experience in software development, automation, systems integration, application development, or a related technical field. 3+ years of hands-on UiPath experience, including UiPath Apps development and implementation experience. Strong hands-on experience with UiPath Orchestrator, including jobs, processes, queues, assets, triggers, logs, monitoring, and administration concepts. Experience integrating applications and platforms using REST APIs, OData, JSON, OAuth 2.0, and other API-based integration patterns. Experience working with UiPath Orchestrator APIs and retrieving automation execution, queue, transaction, exception, and performance data. Ability to translate operational and business requirements into scalable technical architectures and application designs. Experience designing dashboards, operational interfaces, workflow applications, or monitoring solutions that present complex technical information in an intuitive format. Strong understanding of RPA architecture and the enterprise automation lifecycle, including development, orchestration, monitoring, exception handling, deployment, and operational support. Experience troubleshooting complex application, API, integration, authentication, and automation issues. Experience conducting functional testing, integration testing, and supporting User Acceptance Testing. Ability to create clear technical architecture, configuration, deployment, and knowledge-transfer documentation. Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Demonstrated ability to work directly with customers and technical stakeholders in an iterative Agile/prototype development environment. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience. Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance. Desired Qualifications:UiPath Certified Professional certification or equivalent UiPath technical certification. Demonstrated experience serving as a UiPath Solution Architect, Technical Lead, or Senior UiPath Developer on enterprise implementations. Advanced experience with UiPath Apps and UiPath Orchestrator APIs.

Experience with Generative AI, AI/ML services, intelligent document processing, or AI-enabled automation. Experience integrating Generative AI or Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities through APIs. Experience developing anomaly detection, predictive analytics, operational intelligence, or AI-assisted exception-management capabilities. Experience with Microsoft Power Platform, Power Apps, Power BI, SharePoint, Teams, Jira, or similar enterprise platforms. Experience integrating UiPath with ERP systems, including SAP or Navy ERP.
