Build your career as an RPA Developer
Projects where the bots are yours: which process gets automated, what the orchestrator logs and what happens when an agent steps in. Shakers connects you with teams still doing by hand what your bot runs on its own.
What gets read about RPA is the vendor's course or the question of whether the craft dies with AI agents. Neither tells how the row of bots of a real team gets sustained by project, process by process and orchestrator by orchestrator. Here is that.
- Higher-paying projects
- More continuity between projects
- Greater recognition for your experience

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

Alejandro
AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

“With Shakers I have landed recurring projects that give me peace of mind and room to grow professionally. It is not just about reaching quality clients: it is feeling that you have a network behind you, one that connects you with real opportunities and helps you move forward as a freelancer.”
Join ShakersThe decisions an RPA Developer takes every week
An RPA Developer (robotic process automation developer) designs, builds and maintains bots that run repetitive processes: reading invoices, onboarding employees, cross-checking data between systems. They work on UiPath, Power Automate or Blue Prism, with low-code and code when the process demands it. They do not run the business nor train models: their craft is the repetitive process running on its own, leaving a trace. With AI agents their work is foundation: the bot executes, the agent decides and orchestrates.
You decide which process gets automated first and on which platform, where the connector is enough and where code is needed, and what the orchestrator logs on every execution. You also decide what does not get automated: if the process is not repetitive and well defined, the bot is not the answer.

What an RPA Developer delivers on a Shakers project
The brief arrives with the process
Shakers is hiring infrastructure: the project arrives with the team that copies and pastes invoices, not with a list of technologies.
Bots that actually get used
The first bot over the most repeated process, with its orchestrator and its execution log. Production measured, not a mock-up.
Ready for the agents
You document what each bot does and with which data: tomorrow's agentic layer gets assembled on the row of bots you sustain today.
Platforms told, not courses
Having put real bots into production and knowing how to tell it: which process, which platform and what you changed so it stopped breaking.
What gets automated and what does not
Choosing a repetitive, well-defined process, not by fashion. Sometimes the answer is an email template, and defending it.
Where your brief ends
You run the repetitive process; you do not decide the business nor train models. If the project asks for an agent that decides, you say so at kickoff.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
What does an RPA Developer do each day?
You keep the row of bots running: the process that broke this morning, the connector about to expire and the log audit asks for. The best deliverable is the process that stopped being done by hand.
Which tools do you use daily?
UiPath or Power Automate almost always, Blue Prism when it comes up; SQL and JavaScript for integrations, and .NET or Python when the standard connector falls short. The orchestrator is the workshop.
Do you really need to know how to code?
Low-code solves the standard, but the serious craft combines code: .NET, Python or REST APIs when the connector cannot reach. You are not trapped in templates or recorded clicks.
How much do you earn as an RPA Developer by project?
The market and the scope set it: how many processes you sustain and on which platforms. At Shakers you agree the budget per project before accepting, with no surprises per hour.
Are RPA bots and AI agents the same thing?
No. The bot runs the repetitive process; the agent decides the next step and orchestrates. Real projects have both: your row of bots is the foundation the agent works on.
How do you join Shakers as a certified RPA Developer?
You create your profile, pass the certification process and enter the collective: only 4 percent make it. Then you choose which automation projects you take on.
The daily shape of the craft
The bot of the most repeated process, the connector that fails on Thursdays and the log the auditor asks for on Friday. Fewer other people's tasks, more processes that run on their own.
The market is searched by platform
56 active job ads in Spain mention UiPath and 269 Power Automate, against 3 with the literal title, according to Shakers market analysis (n=31,020, September 2026). Your stack is worth more than your title.
From bots to agents
UiPath already presents itself as AI agent orchestration and the RPA cluster is contracting: whoever sustains bots today assembles tomorrow's agents. The craft changes layer.
How people get into the craft
Two frequent doors: the .NET or Python developer who automated their first process and the business analyst who moved to low-code. The fear of not coding is solved with code when the connector falls short.
The roles that cross a bot project
Five roles from the collective cross your row of bots, from the one that decides with agents to the one that sustains the pipeline.
AI Agent Developer
From bots to agents: when the process needs to decide and not just repeat, your bot runs and the agent orchestrates the work.
DevOps Engineer
Their pipeline deploys what your bot runs: when the problem is integration and continuous deployment, the brief starts there.
Platform Engineer
The automation that is a bot today can join their internal platform as another paved path and self-service service.
AI Engineer
The model that reasons over the log your bots generate: from the data traced in each execution to the judgement the process applies.
Backend Developer
The custom APIs your bot needs when the standard connector falls short: from the legacy system to the clean endpoint.
Boundaries between these roles are agreed per project: the job title does not set them.
