**Position Summary** A UiPath developer is a specialist in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), responsible for designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining automation workflows using the UiPath platform. This role is central to the automation initiatives within organizations, enabling digital transformation and operational efficiency by automating repetitive, rule\-based business processes. Below is a comprehensive analysis of the skills, knowledge, and tools required for the UiPath developer role as of 2024–2025\. Technical Skills **RPA Tool Proficiency:** A UiPath developer must be highly proficient with the core UiPath suite: * **UiPath Studio:** Used for designing automation workflows with a visual drag\-and\-drop interface. Developers must understand workflow design, activities, variables, data handling, control flow, and exception handling within Studio. * **UiPath Orchestrator:** Centralized platform for managing, monitoring, scheduling, and deploying automation projects. Developers should know how to publish packages, create and manage robots, handle queues, assets, and monitor job execution. * **UiPath Robot:** Executes the automation scripts designed in Studio, either attended or unattended. Developers need to understand how robots operate, how they interact with Orchestrator, and how to troubleshoot issues. **Programming Languages:** While UiPath emphasizes low\-code development, a solid foundation in programming is essential for creating custom activities and advanced integrations. Commonly required languages include: * VB.NET and **C\#**: For custom activities and data manipulation within workflows. * **Python**: For scripting and integrating with AI/ML models or external services. **API and Integration Skills:** Developers should have a basic understanding of REST/SOAP APIs and webhooks to integrate UiPath workflows with external systems and services, including AI models and enterprise applications. **Automation Scripting:** Familiarity with automation scripting beyond UiPath, such as using Python for automation or extending functionality with JavaScript, is a preferred skill for handling custom requirements and integrations. **Testing and Debugging:** A UiPath developer must be adept at testing automation workflows, debugging errors, and using tools such as the Workflow Analyzer and integrated debuggers to ensure reliability and maintainability of automations. **Document Understanding and OCR:** Experience with UI automation, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is valuable for handling unstructured data and automating document\-centric business processes.
