Principal Software Engineer, Site Reliability

About the role

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

At UiPath’s Site Reliability team, we build the platforms and systems that the entire company depends on to deliver on our compliance and SLA promises to customers. This spans monitoring, alerting, cloud infrastructure, access management, standardized synthetics, performance and test validation, incident detection and status reporting, incident management, automated remediation, structured post-mortems, customer communications, repair item tracking, and assertion of engineering best practices across UiPath. We are scaling each of these pillars - and building the next generation of capabilities on each, increasingly powered by AI.

This is a software engineering role.

You will not be the person who identifies a reliability gap and files a ticket for another team to fix. You are the engineer who identifies the gap, designs the system that closes it, builds it, ships it, and drives its adoption - often by doing the integration work yourself rather than asking other teams to come to you. You build platforms that other engineers depend on in their critical path, and you hold yourself accountable to outcomes, not outputs. You treat every system you ship as a product: you put it in front of users early, seek feedback, and iterate until it delivers real results. If adoption is slow, you don’t blame the docs - you sit with the team, understand the friction, and remove it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO AT UIPATH

- Design, engineer, and build SRE platform systems and capabilities with cutting-edge AI, treating them as products that other engineering teams depend on in their critical path.

- Participate in livesite monitoring rotations, handle escalations, and drive effective mitigations - reducing customer impact through broad, detailed, and effective post-mortems.

- Drive availability, scalability, and performance improvements based on livesite learnings. Generate (or codify existing) best practices and ensure they are followed widely across UiPath - not by publishing guidance, but by embedding them into the systems you build.

- Ensure technical deliverables meet or exceed expectations on reliability, scalability, quality, and performance. Identify and drive architectural changes that significantly move the needle on these dimensions.

- Onboard other teams onto your platforms by driving outcomes yourself - writing the integrations, pairing with their engineers, removing friction - rather than handing off documentation and waiting.
