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?
Senior Principal Builder Engineer
About UiPath
UiPath is on a mission to uplevel knowledge work so humanity can work more creatively and strategically. We're building the control plane for enterprise AI—where agents, automation, APIs, and humans work together to solve real business problems.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional engineering role. We're looking for founding engineer mindset talent who can thrive inside a well-funded, scaled company.
We need engineers who:
Don't wait for requirements - they identify problems worth solving
Build and ship solutions end-to-end - from concept to customer
Validate with real users - data-driven iteration is in their DNA
Think like owners - bringing ideas, not just execution
What You'll Do
Build the Future of AI-Powered Work
Define and build net-new AI-powered product capabilities (0→1)
Design and ship agentic workflows using LLMs, APIs, and automation
Work directly with customers and internal stakeholders to validate solutions
Rapidly prototype, iterate, and drive adoption of new features
Partner across Product, Design, GTM, and Engineering to shape product direction
What You Bring
Core Traits
Proven 0→1 builder experience (startup, founding engineer, or internal incubation)
Strong product instincts - you've defined what to build, not just how
Comfortable in ambiguity and fast iteration cycles
Hands-on engineer (IC or EM who still codes)
Technical Background
Experience with LLMs, RAG, or agentic systems
Full-stack or backend-leaning expertise (frontend skills a plus)
Track record of working with customers and driving product adoption
Strong Signals (Nice to Have)
Switched between IC and leadership roles
Left a large company to build something new
Built products that reached real users (not just internal system
