🏢 About Wartsila

Wärtsilä is a global leader in innovative technologies and lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets, with a strong commitment to advancing decarbonization and sustainability. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge projects that directly impact the global transition to a cleaner future, while being part of a company that values innovation and collaboration.

About This Role

This role involves designing and implementing AI-driven automation solutions, specifically using UiPath's Agent and IXP platforms, to support proof-of-concepts and full-scale projects. As a Senior Agentic Automation Developer, you will drive the integration of AI agents into business processes, enabling smarter, autonomous workflows that reduce operational costs and enhance efficiency.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up meeting with cross-functional teams to discuss ongoing proof-of-concepts. You'll then dive into coding and testing UiPath Agent workflows, integrating LLMs for intelligent decision-making, and collaborating with stakeholders to refine requirements. Afternoons could involve reviewing automation performance metrics and brainstorming new opportunities for AI-driven automation.

🎯 Who Wartsila Is Looking For

  • Has a strong track record in developing UiPath RPA, Agent, and IXP solutions, with hands-on experience in building and deploying AI agents.
  • Possesses deep technical expertise in AI platforms and large language models (LLMs), understanding how to leverage them for automation.
  • Holds a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or equivalent, with a solid foundation in software development and automation.
  • Thrives in a cross-functional environment, collaborating with teams to identify automation opportunities and drive innovation from concept to implementation.
