Your mission
UiPath is the leader in the Agentic Automation space. As a Principal Software Engineer on the UiPath Test Cloud team, you will drive the architecture and delivery of platform systems-spanning backend services, AI and agentic capabilities, and end-to-end product experiences-that power the next generation of intelligent, autonomous testing. You will bring deep backend expertise in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure while operating with strong full-stack judgment to shape architectural decisions across the entire engineering stack. Beyond your technical contributions, you will champion the adoption of AI-powered developer tools and coding agents to amplify team productivity-shaping how the engineering organization builds software in an AI-first future.
UiPath Test Cloud
UiPath Test Cloud is a tightly integrated bundle of product offerings that consolidates the testing lifecycle through deep integrations with leading test management and ALM tools, as well as UiPath’s core automation platform. It enables customers to create, manage, and execute manual and automated tests -both standalone and as part of modern DevOps pipelines-while providing rich reporting and insights across the testing process.
What sets UiPath Test Cloud apart is its industry-leading, AI-powered and agentic testing capabilities. UiPath is recognized as a leader in Agentic Testing by major industry analysts -underscoring the platform’s innovation and maturity in intelligent, autonomous testing. The platform leverages LLM- powered and autopilot capabilities to accelerate test creation, improve test coverage, enable self-healing and adaptive tests, and significantly reduce manual effort across the testing lifecycle.
The Test Cloud suite offers broad and deep coverage across multiple testing domains, including functional, performance, and mobile testing, helping enterprises deliver high-quality software at scale.
As part of the Test Cloud engineering team, you will work with a diverse and modern technology stack, including .NET Core, C#, Kubernetes, Docker, Azure, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Angular. The team collaborates closely with product management to ideate, design, and deliver features end- to-end-owning everything from architecture and implementation to automated testing, product quality, and both cloud and on-premises
deployment solutions.
As a cloud-first offering, the team continuously monitors, scales, and optimizes highly available cloud services. In addition, the team builds and maintains integrations, extensions, and plugins for ALM and CI/CD ecosystems, while continuously innovating to advance AI-driven, autonomous testing capabilities across the entire Test Cloud portfolio.
