Senior Principal Engineer

UiPath UiPath · Enterprise · Bellevue, WA · Engineering

Senior Principal Engineer at UiPath focused on building AI-native, agentic systems for enterprise automation. The role involves architecting and shipping large-scale cloud services, integrating AI deeply into products, and improving developer productivity. Key responsibilities include proposing and shipping services, navigating technical trade-offs, ensuring engineering excellence, and building agentic systems to solve enterprise bottlenecks. The role requires a strong track record in architecting and building commercial applications, expertise in distributed systems, and product thinking.

What you'd actually do

  1. Propose, architect, and ship large-scale cloud services as if they were your own startup.
  2. Navigate complex technical trade-offs and drive consensus across stakeholders through clear, data-driven communication.
  3. Be the standard-bearer for the "dev inner loop”—obsessing over quality, scalability, and developer productivity.
  4. Move beyond "AI-assisted" to "AI-native," building agentic systems that solve real-world enterprise bottlenecks.
