Scalding Spit is a ranged unarmed attack. But that is not in the list that Sneak Attack requires.
If you Strike a creature that has the flat-footed condition with an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, or a ranged weapon attack, you deal an extra 1d6 precision damage. For a ranged attack with a thrown melee weapon, that weapon must also be agile or finesse.
Sneak Attack will allow ranged WEAPON attacks, but Scalding Spit is a ranged unarmed attack. Its not an agile or finesse unarmed attack either.
Technically not allowed, but probably should be. Talk to your GM.
