Full Job Description
Life at UiPath

The people at UiPath believe in the transformative power of automation to change how the world works. We're committed to creating category-leading enterprise software that unleashes that power.

To make that happen, we need people who are curious, self-propelled, generous, and genuine. People who love being part of a fast-moving, fast-thinking growth company. And people who care-about each other, about UiPath, and about our larger purpose.

Could that be you?

We are looking for an engineering leader that operates as a Builder.
  • Be immersive in shaping the 'what' and 'why' of products to build in addition to driving the execution of the said plan.
  • Validate with customers and glean insights to fail fast or get to proven adoption.
  • Operate AI forward and hands on in everything you do and scale your influence.

And the core technical chops of a Sr. Principal Engineer.

At UiPath we are enabling enterprises transform via Business Orchestration and modernize operating their core business processes. It requires us to apply technology on a wide range of domains - from systems to agents to engaging people in their preferred modality. We are a global team and collaborate like a startup to prioritize what's important to customers.

What you'll do at UiPath:
  • Founder Mindset: Propose, architect, and ship large-scale cloud services as if they were your own startup.
  • Technical Diplomacy: Navigate complex technical trade-offs and drive consensus across stakeholders through clear, data-driven communication.
  • Engineering Excellence: Be the standard-bearer for the "dev inner loop"-obsessing over quality, scalability, and developer productivity.
  • AI Integration: Move beyond "AI-assisted" to "AI-native," building agentic systems that solve real-world enterprise bottlenecks.

What you'll bring to the team:
  • External-Facing Excellence: A proven track record (10+ years) of architecting and building world-class, large-scale commercial applications with a focus on external product impact.
  • Core Domain Expertise: Deep technical background in Workflow Engines, Orchestration, and Case Management. You should be an expert in distributed systems, including Data Layers for OLTP/OLAP and high-scale platform domains.
  • Architectural Vision: Mastery of programming language paradigms, schema design, and the creation of robust, public-facing APIs that drive ecosystem growth.
  • Product Thinking: An innate ability to balance technical perfection with business impact, ensuring our engineering efforts move the needle for our customers' bottom lines.
  • The ability to lead through influence and inspire a globally distributed team

In 6 months, you will have:
  • Architected and deployed a core component of our agentic orchestration framework.
  • Established a high-velocity 'inner loop' that reduced developer friction by 20%.
  • Partnered with three key enterprise customers to validate a new 'mini-founder' product initiative.

Maybe you don't tick all the boxes above-but still think you'd be great for the job? Go ahead, apply anyway. Please. Because we know that experience comes in all shapes and sizes-and passion can't be learned.

Many of our roles allow for flexibility in when and where work gets done. Depending on the needs of the business and the role, the number of hybrid, office-based, and remote workers will vary from team to team. Applications are assessed on a rolling basis and there is no fixed deadline for this requisition. The application window may change depending on the volume of applications received or may close immediately if a qualified candidate is selected.
