What are careers in RPA?

RPA developer, RPA architect, and RPA analyst are careers in RPA. Here are descriptions of each of these careers in RPA:

• RPA developer

  RPA developers actually have to do less coding, also less testing and debugging of code than traditional software developers.

  Robotics processing automation development does use some traditional programmer skills and computer science knowledge. However, RPA developers' tools are more focused on low-code visual strategies for outlining applications and integrations.

  RPA developers do need a strong understanding of programming control flows, exception handling, and data structures.

  An RPA developer in the United States makes around $165,000 per year.

• RPA architect

  Software architecture is a prerequisite to the role of an RPA architect. The style of development is different; however, having five to eight years of experience as a software architect is recommended.

  The main focus of an RPA architect is to produce solid modular code and then integrate that code into the appropriate systems. RPA architects also must understand efficient software patterns and know when to create streamlined bots rather than one overfilled bot.

  An effective RPA architect creates bots that are more resilient, robust, manageable, and maintainable.

• RPA analyst

  RPA analysts may be compared to effective business analysts. Instead of focusing on business processes, they need to be able to analyze different robotic processes and robotic needs when determining the requirements for an application or an integration.

  Sometimes the role of an RPA analyst can overlap with an RPA developer, and this refers to the fact that effective developers should spend significant time understanding the processes they are automating, and effective analysts should utilize RPA tools in the endeavor to produce application prototypes.
