The role

Summary

UiPath is seeking a Principal Site Reliability Engineer to revolutionize reliability engineering through AI-driven approaches. The role focuses on building intelligent reliability platforms that leverage AI/ML to improve service reliability, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate incident response in large-scale, cloud-native environments.

What you'll do

Intelligent Automation: Design and implement self-healing mechanisms including automated remediation workflows and intelligent retry and fallback strategies for cloud-native systems.

Reliability Platform Development: Build internal systems that enable engineering teams to debug faster using AI-assisted tooling and proactively identify and mitigate reliability risks.

Reliability Strategy: Define and evolve reliability strategy using predictive reliability models including capacity planning, failure forecasting, and reliability scoring across engineering teams.

AI-Powered Incident Management: Develop AI-powered systems that determine incident impact and use historical data to improve detection and response mechanisms over time.

Technical Leadership: Influence standards for AI-driven tooling, mentor engineers, and elevate reliability focus across the organization.
