Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Design, engineer, and build Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) platform systems and capabilities using cutting-edge AI, treating them as products that other engineering teams depend on in their critical path.
• Participate in livesite monitoring rotations, handle escalations, and drive effective mitigations to reduce customer impact through comprehensive, detailed, and actionable post-mortems.
• Drive improvements in availability, scalability, and performance of systems based on real-world livesite learnings and operational data.
• Generate or codify engineering best practices and embed them directly into the platforms you build, ensuring widespread adoption across UiPath without relying on documentation alone.
• Onboard other engineering teams onto your platforms by personally writing integrations, pairing with their engineers, and removing friction—rather than handing off documentation and waiting for adoption.
• Ship early, seek feedback relentlessly, and iterate rapidly; treat every user complaint as a design input, not a support ticket.
• Drive task planning, estimation, scheduling, and staffing for SRE initiatives, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and technical priorities.
• Mentor Software Engineers through hands-on coaching, advice, and training opportunities to develop their technical and operational skills.
• Participate in and influence process improvements and engineering best practices across the entire engineering organization.
• Build and maintain complex AI-powered applications in production that automate reliability, incident response, and system remediation.
• Ensure all technical deliverables meet or exceed expectations for reliability, scalability, quality, and performance.
• Identify and drive architectural changes that significantly improve system resilience, scalability, and operational efficiency.
• Work with globally distributed teams to deliver and support mission-critical infrastructure platforms.
• Maintain and evolve cloud-native infrastructure using Kubernetes, managed services (AKS, GKE), and cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Integrate with and leverage database backends including Azure SQL, CosmosDB, Azure Data Lake, Power BI, MongoDB, MySQL, and DynamoDB.
• Apply modern engineering practices including agile development, CI/CD, and DevOps to ensure rapid, reliable, and repeatable delivery of SRE systems.
• Hold yourself accountable to outcomes—not outputs—by measuring success through adoption, reduced incident impact, and improved system reliability across teams.
• Treat every system you ship as a product: engage users early, iterate based on feedback, and remove adoption barriers through direct collaboration.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven track record (10+ years) of architecting and engineering world-class, large-scale, distributed commercial applications and services.
• Experience building large-scale, complex internal platforms adopted by 10+ teams in their critical path at a large company.
• Demonstrated ability to drive adoption of systems by personally writing integrations, removing friction, and measuring success by outcomes delivered.
• Experience building and maintaining complex AI-powered applications in production.
• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented languages (C#, C++, Java, or Python) with solid computer science fundamentals.
• Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, multithreading, synchronization, asynchronous patterns, and cloud programming.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexibility in when and where work gets done, with hybrid, office-based, and remote options available depending on team needs.
• Opportunity to work on AI-powered systems that directly impact the reliability of enterprise software used globally.
• Collaborative, inclusive workplace that values diverse backgrounds, experiences, and ideas.
• Equal opportunity employer providing reasonable accommodations for candidates on request.
