Senior Principal Software Engineer

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?

Your mission
Agentic automation represents the next evolution in automation. It empowers software 'agents' with large language models (LLMs), generative AI (GenAI), and large action models (LAMs) to take autonomous actions. This technology eliminates time-consuming tasks, allowing people to focus on what they love. At UiPath, we are driven by this high-stakes challenge and a shared passion to accelerate human achievement.

You'll be working on UiPath Agent Builder - an enterprise solution for creating, testing, and deploying AI agents that work alongside automation robots. Agent Builder integrates seamlessly with the UiPath ecosystem, allowing organizations to combine traditional automation with AI-powered agents to handle both structured and unstructured business processes.

• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, devising scalable and proactive solutions to address them.
• Guide and mentor engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
• Drive technical standards and engineering practices across Product & Engineering.

What You'll Bring To The Team
