Senior Software Engineer

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’s Platform Engineering team builds the internal infrastructure and tooling that keeps engineering across UiPath fast, reliable, and consistent. That includes a hybrid cloud compute fleet - powering pipeline runs and other internal workloads on our own datacenter using virtualization technologies - alongside centralized initiatives like Automated product Sign-Off, performance testing, and the standardization of software development practices through tooling the team builds in-house.

You’ll help build the software and tooling that make these systems self-managing and easy to consume, so engineering teams across UiPath can ship faster and with more confidence.

Responsibilities

• Develop tooling that empowers engineering teams to consume datacenter compute as easily as a managed cloud service.
• Build services that provision, configure, and lifecycle-manage virtual machines on bare metal using virtualization technologies.
• Provide the compute backbone for pipeline runs, end-to-end and automated testing at scale.
• Expose our datacenter capacity as a single elastic fabric that internal workloads can schedule against on demand.
• Automate the full host lifecycle as code; bring-up, hypervisor configuration, networking, storage, and decommissioning.
• Improve the reliability, observability, and performance of the virtualization layer, and harden it for security and scale.
• Contribute to centralized initiatives such as Automated Sign-Off and performance testing, helping teams validate and ship releases with confidence.
• Build and maintain tooling that standardizes software development practices across engineering teams.
• What you'll bring to the team
• 5+ years in a software engineering role using one or more mainstream languages (.NET / C preferred; Java, Go, C, C++, Python, or Rust).
• Linux experience - comfortable operating and scripting on Linux.
• Strong grasp of OOP, design patterns, concurrency, and data structures and algorithms.
• Hands-on experience with cloud technologies (Azure preferred; AWS or GCP).
• Experience with virtualization — QEMU/KVM, libvirt, VMware, Hyper-V, or Xen equivalents.
• Well-versed with the full SDLC and able to produce well-tested, high-quality code.

Requirements

• Experience running bare-metal fleets or datacenter infrastructure at scale.
• CI/CD and test infrastructure (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and how large test suites run at scale.
• Familiarity with libvirt, cloud-init, PXE / network booting, and VM image pipelines; networking (VLANs, overlays, SDN).
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), Kubernetes, and distributed storage (Ceph, ZFS).
• Maybe you don’t tick all the boxes above—but still think you’d be great for the job? Go ahead, apply anyway. Please. Because we know that experience comes in all shapes and sizes—and passion can’t be learned.
• Many of our roles allow for flexibility in when and where work gets done. Depending on the needs of the business and the role, the number of hybrid, office-based, and remote workers will vary from team to team. Applications are assessed on a rolling basis and there is no fixed deadline for this requisition. The application window may change depending on the volume of applications received or may close immediately if a qualified candidate is selected.
