Architect & Lead Backend Systems: Own the technical vision, architecture, and implementation of large-scale distributed backend systems that power the Agentic Governance Platform – including policy enforcement, audit logging, access control, and workflow observability at enterprise scale.
Ensure scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability are built in from the ground up.
Ensure seamless end-to-end delivery without hard handoffs or gaps between layers.
Define team norms for responsible and effective AI tool usage.
Prototype and evaluate emerging AI developer tooling and advocate for adoption where it delivers real leverage.
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, conduct high-quality design and code reviews, and drive adoption of best practices in backend architecture, testing, and CI/CD.
Bridge the gap between backend complexity and user-facing impact – translating governance and compliance
Own reliability for mission-critical governance workloads.
Establish observability standards using tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
Drive adoption of modern engineering practices including agile development, infrastructure as code, and automated testing.
Proactively manage timelines and dependencies across distributed teams.
Requirements
LIFE AT UIPATH The people at UiPath believe in the transformative power of automation to change how the world works.
Could that be you? YOUR MISSION UiPath is the leader in Agentic Automation.
You will bring deep backend expertise in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure while maintaining strong full-stack fluency to collaborate 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.
Full-Stack Fluency: Contribute meaningfully across the stack – from designing efficient REST/GraphQL APIs and microservices to collaborating on frontend integrations.
AI-Powered Engineering: Champion the use of coding agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) and AI-assisted workflows to measurably improve team velocity and code quality.
Platform Modernization: Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies (Apache Kafka, Spark, Flink, Kubernetes, etc.) to continuously evolve the platform.
Innovate at the Intersection of AI + Governance: Collaborate with AI platform teams to embed agentic intelligence into governance services and APIs – enabling smarter policy enforcement, anomaly detection, and compliance automation.
Help define how the Agentic Governance Platform evolves in an AI-native world.
Bachelor's/Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience.
Strong proficiency in one or more system-level languages – Javascript / C# / Java etc Full-stack
experience: ability to work across backend services and frontend layers (REST/GraphQL APIs, basic UI integration, component contracts).
Deep understanding of object-oriented programming, architectural design patterns, system design, and data structures & algorithms.
Experience with React, TypeScript, or other modern frontend frameworks for deeper full-stack contribution.
Strong grasp of multithreading, asynchronous programming, synchronization, and cloud-native programming models. Hands-on
experience with cloud ecosystems: Azure, AWS, or GCP.
Proficiency with containerization and orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, or equivalent. Hands-on
experience with AI coding tools and coding agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) and a demonstrated ability to integrate these into daily engineering workflows.
Experience driving team adoption of AI-powered productivity tools – setting norms, measuring impact, and iterating on usage patterns.
Familiarity with modern engineering practices: agile development, CI/CD, DevOps, and infrastructure as code.
Ability to understand, communicate, and drive complex technical decisions with stakeholders at all levels. #LI-VR1 Maybe you don’t tick all the boxes above—but still think you’d be great for the job? Go ahead, apply anyway. Please.
Experience
13+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years focused on distributed systems and backend architecture.
