Principal Software Engineer Intelligent Document Processing & Context Grounding

Build the AI platform that powers trustworthy enterprise agents.

At UiPath were building the next generation of enterprise AIagents that dont just generate responses but understand business context reason over enterprise knowledge and deliver trustworthy outcomes at scale.

As a Principal Software Engineer youll help define and build the Intelligent Document Processing and Context Grounding platforms. Your work will enable AI agents to ingest understand retrieve and reason over large volumes of enterprise documents while maintaining accuracy security governance and performance.

This is a hands-on engineering leadership role for someone who has repeatedly shipped production AI systems and enjoys solving some of the hardest infrastructure challenges in enterprise software.

Youll influence technical direction across multiple teams while remaining deeply involved in architecture implementation mentoring and product delivery.

What Youll Do

Build production AI systems

Design and deliver the core services that power enterprise document understanding retrieval knowledge grounding and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) across the UiPath platform.

Youll own systems responsible for:

• document ingestion

• parsing and extraction

• chunking and embedding

• indexing

• retrieval

• knowledge management

• evaluation

• answer grounding

Raise the quality bar for enterprise AI

Drive improvements in:

• retrieval quality

• answer quality

• groundedness

• attribution

• latency

• scalability

• cost efficiency

Youll evaluate emerging techniques challenge assumptions and introduce better architectural approaches as AI capabilities continue to evolve.

Solve difficult distributed systems problems

Architect highly available multi-tenant cloud services that process enormous volumes of enterprise content while maintaining reliability security and performance.

Youll work across:

• distributed services

• event-driven architectures

• search platforms

• vector databases

• APIs

• orchestration

• cloud-native infrastructure

Lead through technical excellence

Principal Engineers at UiPath dont simply review designsthey actively shape them.

Youll:

• influence architectural decisions across organizations

• mentor senior engineers

• participate in critical design reviews

• establish engineering standards

• help teams make thoughtful technical tradeoffs

• raise the quality of engineering across the organization

Partner across Engineering Product and Applied AI

Work closely with Product Managers Applied Scientists Designers and Engineering Leaders to turn ambiguous AI opportunities into production capabilities customers rely on every day.

• Distributed systems

• Event-driven architectures

• Search platforms

• Vector databases

• LLMs

• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

• Embeddings

• OCR

• Intelligent Document Processing

• Knowledge Graphs

• Evaluation frameworks

What Makes Someone Successful Here

The strongest engineers on this team dont simply know AIthey know how to build AI products.

They enjoy:

• solving ambiguous technical problems

• making thoughtful engineering tradeoffs

• shipping production software

• collaborating across disciplines

• mentoring other engineers

• balancing long-term architecture with short-term execution

Most importantly they remain hands-on.

This is a role for engineers who still love building.
