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

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you will own the delivery of scoped customer implementations and help turn real-world business needs into production-grade agentic automation solutions. You’ll partner closely with customer stakeholders and internal teams to design, build, integrate, and iterate on AI-enabled workflows, balancing speed, reliability, and maintainability. You’ll contribute practical field insights back to the organization, helping refine solution patterns, reusable assets, and implementation playbooks.

Unlike traditional software engineers who build a single product for many customers, FDEs ship tailored solutions directly in customer environments, making the platform real for specific business processes and systems. You’ll operate with increasing independence, drive execution on well-defined workstreams, and collaborate with senior FDEs and product teams to align with broader technical direction.

What you'll do at UiPath

• Design and build AI-driven workflows, agents, and automations, aligned with UiPath's architecture and platform standards without requiring regular guidance.

• Build AI Agents using UiPath technologies, including Maestro or Agent Builder

• Apply practical prompt engineering skills to reliably guide agent behavior and understand model tradeoffs (capability, latency, cost) when selecting LLM providers for customer use cases.

• Extend platform functionality using APIs, SDKs, and connectors to address unique customer requirements.

• Debug across systems including AI inference, data pipelines, orchestration layers, and integration points, resolving most issues independently.

• Contribute to internal libraries, reusable components, or frameworks that enhance consistency across customer deployments.

• Anticipate delivery risks and communicate blockers, delays, and scope issues proactively to teammates and stakeholders.

• Use telemetry, insights, and traces to identify optimization opportunities and failure patterns independently.

What you'll bring to the team

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent) delivering production software.

• Strong programming skills in Python and/or TypeScript (or similar modern languages).

• Experience building and shipping integrations using APIs and working with cloud services or enterprise systems.

• Comfort operating in customer-facing environments with strong written and verbal communication.

• Ability to independently drive scoped projects, manage risks, and deliver against deadlines.

• Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed.

Our core principles

• Customer Centric: Stay close to customer users and stakeholders; anchor decisions in outcomes, adoption, and long-term success.

• Breaking Silos: Collaborate across Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and customer teams to unblock delivery and align on the right solution.

• Improving Agility: Prototype, test, ship, observe, and iterate—treat deployments and feedback loops as the fastest way to learn.

• Dealing with Ambiguity: Make progress with incomplete information; clarify requirements through discovery, iteration, and pragmatic tradeoffs.

• Building Focus: Prioritize the highest-impact workstreams, manage scope actively, and deliver durable solutions that customers can run and evolve.

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.
