Principal Software Engineer

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? YOUR MISSION UiPath is the leader in the Agentic Automation space. As a Principal Software Engineer on the UiPath Test Cloud team, you will drive the architecture and delivery of platform systems—spanning backend services, AI and agentic capabilities, and end-to-end product experiences—that power the next generation of intelligent, autonomous testing. You will bring deep backend expertise in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure while operating with strong full-stack judgment to shape architectural decisions across the entire engineering stack. Beyond your technical contributions, you will champion the adoption of AI-powered developer tools and coding agents to amplify team productivity—shaping how the engineering organization builds software in an AI-first future. UIPATH TEST CLOUD UiPath Test Cloud is a tightly integrated bundle of product offerings that consolidates the testing lifecycle through deep integrations with leading test management and ALM tools, as well as UiPath’s core automation platform. It enables customers to create, manage, and execute manual and automated tests —both standalone and as part of modern DevOps pipelines—while providing rich reporting and insights across the testing process. What sets UiPath Test Cloud apart is its industry-leading, AI-powered and agentic testing capabilities. UiPath is recognized as a leader in Agentic Testing by major industry analysts—underscoring the platform’s innovation and maturity in intelligent, autonomous testing. The platform leverages LLM- powered and autopilot capabilities to accelerate test creation, improve test coverage, enable self-healing and adaptive tests, and significantly reduce manual effort across the testing lifecycle. The Test Cloud suite offers broad and deep coverage across multiple testing domains, including functional, performance, and mobile testing, helping enterprises deliver high-quality software at scale. As part of the Test Cloud engineering team, you will work with a diverse and modern technology stack, including .NET Core, C#, Kubernetes, Docker, Azure, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Angular. The team collaborates closely with product management to ideate, design, and deliver features end- to-end—owning everything from architecture and implementation to automated testing, product quality, and both cloud and on-premises deployment solutions. As a cloud-first offering, the team continuously monitors, scales, and optimizes highly available cloud services. In addition, the team builds and maintains integrations, extensions, and plugins for ALM and CI/CD ecosystems, while continuously innovating to advance AI-driven, autonomous testing capabilities across the entire Test Cloud portfolio. Who you are — Builder’s mindset, product sense, and technical depth You are a builder at heart. You take ideas from whiteboard to production and feel ownership for what ships, not just what you architect. You move with urgency, ship pragmatically, and bias toward working software over perfect designs—while still holding a high bar for quality, scalability, and craft. You think in systems, but you also have strong product sense: you understand who the customer is, why they care, and what makes a feature actually useful in their workflow. You partner naturally with product and design, push back when scope or direction is off, and propose technical ideas that unlock new product value. You see engineering excellence and product excellence as the same problem viewed from two sides. WHAT YOU'LL DO AT UIPATH - Architect & Lead Platform Systems: Own the technical vision, architecture, and implementation of large-scale distributed systems that power the Test Cloud platform—including test orchestration, execution engines, results and reporting pipelines, ALM/CI integrations, AI/agentic services, and the data and service layers that underpin agentic testing at enterprise scale. Ensure scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability are built in from the ground up. • Strategic Technical Vision & Cross-Product Influence: Set the multi-quarter technical direction for Test Cloud and drive alignment with adjacent UiPath platform teams (Studio, Orchestrator, Automation Cloud, AI platform). Represent Test Cloud engineering in customer architecture reviews, analyst engagements, and external technical forums where appropriate. • End-to-End Architectural Ownership: Make architectural calls that span the full stack—API contracts, data flow, state management, real- time/streaming behavior for test execution, performance budgets on both client and server. Ensure seamless end-to-end delivery without hard handoffs or gaps between layers. • Product Partnership & Customer Impact: Partner deeply with product management and design to shape what we build, not just how. Bring technical ideas that unlock new product value, challenge assumptions about scope and feasibility, and keep customer outcomes at the center of architectural decisions. • Innovate at the Intersection of AI + Testing: Own the technical vision for embedding agentic intelligence into test creation, execution, and analysis—enabling smarter test generation, self-healing automation, and autonomous quality workflows. Define how Test Cloud evolves in an AI-native world and partner with AI platform teams to bring that vision to production. • AI-Powered Engineering: Champion the use of coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and AI
