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.
Additional Details
- 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.
