Principal Product Manager (Agentic Automation)

📋 Description

• • Own the multi-year vision for how agents (UiPath's and third-party) build and operate automations across the platform.
• • Extend UiPath to work with external coding agents: design the skills, tools, and APIs that let agents like Claude Code author, run, and debug automations against the platform.
• • Help evolve UiPath's own coding agents (AutoPilots): what they can build, how they reason about a process, and how they hand off to humans and to other agents.
• • Define how non-deterministic agents (conversational, autonomous, computer use) slot into complex business processes alongside deterministic workflows, with clear contracts for when each is used.
• • Partner with the largest and most demanding customers on production deployments. Go deep enough to know which specific step failed and what would fix it.
• • Use the platform as a builder. Stand up agents, wire them into real processes, use coding agents aggressively to prototype and ship reference implementations. If you need a working example to make a point, build one.
• • Translate the fast-moving agent landscape (tool/skill ecosystems, orchestration frameworks, evals, computer-use models) into a coherent UiPath point of view and a shipping product.
• • Define the metrics that matter (e.g. task success rate, time-to-build automation, human interventions per run, agent reliability in production) and prioritize ruthlessly.
• • Represent UiPath's agentic automation story externally with customers, partners, and industry forums.
• • 8+ years in technical PM or eng roles with specific emphasis on automation, workflow/orchestration platforms, developer platforms, or applied agentic AI. Proven track record of shipping infrastructure that builders rely on.
• • Prior experience building business process orchestration, workflow engines, or agent platforms. You've designed the systems that coordinate work across steps, services, and actors.
• • Deep fluency in agentic AI: tool-calling, MCP, coding agents, agent design patterns, computer use, evals and observability. You can read an agent trace and immediately see what's wrong with it.
• • A clear view on how deterministic automation and non-deterministic agents should compose, and where each belongs in a real business process.
• • Builder posture, AI-native. You write code (or prompt agents to) to test ideas and ship prototypes. You treat coding agents as leverage. You do not simply write specs or decks and wait.
• • First-principles thinker, comfortable in ambiguity. Can produce a defensible direction in days, not quarters.
• • Sharp communicator: a position doc that inspires bold decisions, a technical explanation a skeptical architect trusts, a demo that closes the room.
• • Comfortable with regulated, on-prem, and hybrid environments.
• • Ideal Background
• • Built automation, orchestration, developer-platform, or agent products at a frontier lab, hyperscaler, RPA/automation vendor, or as an early PM at a startup in the space.
• • Has gone 0 → 1 and felt the weight of it. Startup or founding PM style experience strongly preferred.
• • Has opinions about where agentic automation is going in the next 24 months, with receipts
• • 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.
• • We value a range of diverse backgrounds, experiences and ideas. We pride ourselves on our diversity and inclusive workplace that provides equal opportunities to all persons regardless of age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression, national origin, disability, neurodiversity, military and/or veteran status, or any other protected classes.
