Designs, deploys, and maintains automation infrastructures.
When companies adopt automation with UiPath,
there are countless ways to combine the products and deploy them: in cloud, on-premises
as a platform, on-premises as individual products, and hybrid.
Automation Infrastructure Engineers have to be able to analyze the infrastructure
requirements, design the architecture according to the solution specs and the company's
policies, then deploy, maintain and upgrade it.
Depending on the company's maturity with the UiPath technology, there are two distinct skillsets which Automation Infrastructure Engineers need to master. Depending on them, the prerequisites and career progression may look very different:
They are able to design, deploy, maintain, and upgrade infrastructures holding the entire UiPath Platform and its components, built on Linux and Kubernetes. This infrastructure is a must for companies looking to get the full benefits of automation in all its flavors (UI automation, API automation, test automation), as well as the associated technologies (process mining, task mining, and so on).
They are able to design, deploy, maintain, and upgrade infrastructures consisting of UiPath Orchestrator and one or several other UiPath products with different degrees of integration. This infrastructure can be a temporary solution for companies more focused on the value brought by the UiPath core RPA capabilities.
The infrastructure of automation solutions comes with specific challenges, but it also shares a common body of knowledge with regular, non-specialized enterprise infrastructure. Infrastructure Engineers looking to develop as Automation Infrastructure Engineers need consistent prior experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining software infrastructures, proficiency in using Linux and Kubernetes to configure storage and file systems and manage users and groups, as well as deploy, configure, and maintain core services and containerized applications. On top of this, they need to grasp networking concepts.
The infrastructure of automation solutions comes with specific challenges, but it also shares a common body of knowledge with regular, non-specialized enterprise infrastructure. Infrastructure Engineers looking to develop as Automation Infrastructure Engineers need consistent prior experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining software infrastructures, proficiency in installing Windows server, configuring it, and managing files, permissions, devices, backups and applications. On top of this, they need to grasp networking concepts, administrate SQL servers, manage virtual machines, and manage users and machines with Active Directory.
