UiPath is seeking a Principal Site Reliability Engineer who excels across the full reliability stack not limited to a single silo. You will help define how reliability is architected scaled measured and automated across our large-scale cloud-native systems. This role requires broad technical judgment systems thinking and the ability to influence reliability outcomes across product and platform teams.

This role is about shaping how reliability works at UiPath not just firefighting outages or writing code. You will partner with engineering and platform teams to embed reliability into systems workflows and culture. You will help raise the bar for how we observe automate and ensure our systems scale reliably under real-world load and failure conditions.

You will own service reliability observability automation and continuous improvement initiatives and partners with our Romania and India based application teams as needed.

What youll do at UiPath

End-to-End Reliability Ownership - Define and evolve reliability strategy for distributed systems balancing availability performance velocity and cost through clear SLIs/SLOs and error budgets.

Incident Response & Operational Excellence - Lead and contribute to high-severity incidents drive structured troubleshooting under ambiguity and ensure durable systemic improvements.

Observability & Operational Insights - Define and promote strong observability practices so that service health and performance risks are visible and actionable.

Automation Tooling & Engineering Rigor - Automate manual operational work through tooling and self-service applying disciplined engineering practices.

Infrastructure Cloud & IaC - Drive reliable scalable cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and collaborate with platform teams on best practices.

Technical Leadership & Org Impact - Influence standards mentor senior engineers and elevate operational reliability across the organization.
