UiPath RPA Developer — Healthcare Support & Maintenance (Ongoing Contract)

About the Role We're a healthcare RPA team looking for an experienced UiPath developer to join us on a contract basis. The majority of this role is production support and maintenance of existing bots, with some new development mixed in. If you enjoy diving into existing codebases, debugging real-world failures, and keeping enterprise automations running reliably — this is a strong fit. Important — How We Work All work is performed live via Zoom screen share / remote control on our systems. You will not receive local access to code, credentials, or client environments. We share screens and drive together during working sessions. This is non-negotiable due to healthcare data compliance requirements. Candidates who are not comfortable working exclusively through screen share should not apply. Required Skills UiPath Studio (Web and Desktop) — 3+ years hands-on production experience. Comfortable navigating existing projects, reading someone else's code, and debugging without full documentation. UiPath Orchestrator — Queue management, asset configuration, credential vaults, job monitoring, log analysis, folder structure, package versioning. REFramework — Deep understanding of dispatcher/performer patterns, transaction handling, retry logic, business vs. system exception handling. Most of our existing bots use this pattern. Production support experience — Comfortable diagnosing failing bots in live environments, reading logs, identifying root causes across UI, data, and application exceptions. REST API integration — HTTP-based workflows, JWT authentication, JSON parsing, Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. Document Understanding / IDP — UiPath Document Understanding, taxonomy creation, validation stations, OCR engines, regex-based extraction. Excel automation — Reading/writing structured data, data tables, formulas. VB.NET / C# — Comfortable writing custom code activities. Git-based workflow — Comfortable with branches, pull requests, code reviews. Strongly Preferred Epic experience — Prior work automating within Epic EHR (workqueues, patient charts, coverage authorization, benefits collection, real-time eligibility, SmartText, HDX, etc.). We work with Epic-integrated bots frequently, and Epic experience will significantly weight your application. Healthcare domain knowledge — Prior authorization, revenue cycle management, insurance eligibility verification, coverage authorization workflows, HIPAA-conscious work practices. Nice-to-Have Skills UiPath Maestro — Orchestration flows, case management patterns, long-running business process automation. JavaScript expressions in Studio Web — Inline expressions for variable manipulation, string concatenation, object construction. UiPath AI Center — Model deployment, ML skill integration. Playwright — Web portal automation as an alternative to Studio-based approaches. Multi-Factor Authentication handling — Patterns for automating around 2FA in web applications. Action Center / Process Apps — Human-in-the-loop workflows. CyberArk / enterprise credential management — Working within secure credential vault environments. Citrix / VDI environments — Automation in virtualized environments. AI/LLM integration — Familiarity with integrating LLMs, AI Agents, or Anthropic/OpenAI APIs into RPA workflows. What You'll Do Support and maintain existing production UiPath bots — debugging failures, resolving business/application exceptions, keeping automations running reliably. Build enhancements and new features into existing automations. Occasional new development from scratch on integration-heavy workflows. Diagnose issues live during Zoom sessions, walking through logs and code with the team. Follow team-defined coding standards and Git workflows. Ideal Candidate 3+ years of production UiPath development experience with a strong support/maintenance track record. Comfortable working exclusively through Zoom screen share and remote control — no local access. Comfortable reading and modifying code written by others. Strong debugging instincts — able to work backward from a failure to root cause quickly. Clear written and verbal communication (documentation, code comments, status updates). Comfortable in ambiguous situations — able to push through blockers, escalate when needed. Timezone overlap with US business hours strongly preferred. Certifications (Preferred) UiPath Advanced RPA Developer Certification UiPath Automation Developer Professional Project Details Type: Contract, part-time to start (10–20 hrs/week), potential to increase with strong performance. Duration: Ongoing — expected 3+ months minimum. Work method: Zoom screen share / remote control only. Timezone: US business hours preferred (some overlap with EST required). Location: Fully remote. How to Apply Please include in your proposal: A brief summary of your most complex UiPath production support engagement (bonus if it involved Epic or healthcare systems). Your Epic experience specifically — which modules, what automations, how long. Whether you're comfortable working exclusively via Zoom screen share and remote control. Your UiPath certifications and years of production experience. Your hourly rate. Your availability to start. Applications without these details will not be considered. Please answer each numbered item explicitly.
