Who this role is best for

Strong fit for software engineers with cloud and virtualization expertise who build tooling to streamline infrastructure processes.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with 5+ years of experience in building scalable infrastructure and cloud-based tooling
    — “5+ years in a software engineering role using one or more mainstream languages”
  • Individuals who have worked with virtualization and bare-metal fleet management in enterprise settings
    — “Build services that provision, configure, and lifecycle-manage virtual machines on bare metal using virtualization technologies”
  • Professionals who can standardize development practices through internal tooling
    — “Build and maintain tooling that standardizes software development practices across engineering teams”

Things to consider

  • The role may require on-site presence depending on team needs and business demands
    — “Depending on the needs of the business and the role, the number of hybrid, office-based, and remote workers will vary”
  • The position emphasizes working with internal engineering teams across the company
    — “Helping engineering teams across UiPath ship faster and with more confidence”

How to stand out

  • Highlight experience in automating infrastructure as code and managing large-scale virtualization environments
    — “Automate the full host lifecycle as code; bring-up, hypervisor configuration, networking, storage, and decommissioning”
  • Showcase projects involving cloud technologies, especially Azure, and virtualization tools like QEMU/KVM or libvirt
    — “Experience with virtualization — QEMU/KVM, libvirt, VMware, Hyper-V, or Xen equivalents”
  • Demonstrate your ability to produce high-quality, well-tested code in your resume and interviews
    — “Able to produce well-tested, high-quality code”
  • Emphasize your hands-on work with CI/CD and large-scale test infrastructure
    — “CI/CD and test infrastructure (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and how large test suites run at scale”
  • Demonstrate familiarity with networking concepts like VLANs, SDN, and overlays in your application materials
    — “Familiarity with libvirt, cloud-init, PXE / network booting, and VM image pipelines; networking (VLANs, overlays, SDN)”

About the role

Original posting from Uipath via Ashby

LIFE AT UIPATH

The people at UiPath believe in the transformative power of automation to change how the world works. We’re committed to creating category-leading enterprise software that unleashes that power.

To make that happen, we need people who are curious, self-propelled, generous, and genuine. People who love being part of a fast-moving, fast-thinking growth company. And people who care—about each other, about UiPath, and about our larger purpose.

Could that be you?

YOUR MISSION

UiPath’s Platform Engineering team builds the internal infrastructure and tooling that keeps engineering across UiPath fast, reliable, and consistent. That includes a hybrid cloud compute fleet - powering pipeline runs and other internal workloads on our own datacenter using virtualization technologies - alongside centralized initiatives like Automated product Sign-Off, performance testing, and the standardization of software development practices through tooling the team builds in-house.

You’ll help build the software and tooling that make these systems self-managing and easy to consume, so engineering teams across UiPath can ship faster and with more confidence.

WHAT YOU'LL DO AT UIPATH

  • Develop tooling that empowers engineering teams to consume datacenter compute as easily as a managed cloud service.
  • Build services that provision, configure, and lifecycle-manage virtual machines on bare metal using virtualization technologies.
  • Provide the compute backbone for pipeline runs, end-to-end and automated testing at scale.
  • Expose our datacenter capacity as a single elastic fabric that internal workloads can schedule against on demand.
  • Automate the full host lifecycle as code; bring-up, hypervisor configuration, networking, storage, and decommissioning.
  • Improve the reliability, observability, and performance of the virtualization layer, and harden it for security and scale.
  • Contribute to centralized initiatives such as Automated Sign-Off and performance testing, helping teams validate and ship releases with confidence.
  • Build and maintain tooling that standardizes software development practices across engineering teams.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM

  • 5+ years in a software engineering role using one or more mainstream languages (.NET / C# preferred; Java, Go, C, C++, Python, or Rust).
  • Linux experience - comfortable operating and scripting on Linux.
  • Strong grasp of OOP, design patterns, concurrency, and data structures and algorithms.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud technologies (Azure preferred; AWS or GCP).
  • Experience with virtualization — QEMU/KVM, libvirt, VMware, Hyper-V, or Xen equivalents.
  • Well-versed with the full SDLC and able to produce well-tested, high-quality code.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience running bare-metal fleets or datacenter infrastructure at scale.
  • CI/CD and test infrastructure (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and how large test suites run at scale.
  • Familiarity with libvirt, cloud-init, PXE / network booting, and VM image pipelines; networking (VLANs, overlays, SDN).
  • Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), Kubernetes, and distributed storage (Ceph, ZFS).

Maybe you don’t tick all the boxes above—but still think you’d be great for the job? Go ahead, apply anyway. Please. Because we know that experience comes in all shapes and sizes—and passion can’t be learned.

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.
