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? As a Principal Applied Scientist, you will lead the architecture, research, and productization of these next-generation ML systems, bridging deep research with deployment at scale and shaping the future of enterprise automation. What You Will Do • Define and drive technical strategy for agent-based automation, including how autonomous agents use LLMs, reinforcement learning, simulation environments, tool use, and multi-step reasoning to integrate with the UiPath platform. • Architect, prototype, and deploy advanced ML and AI systems, covering LLM fine-tuning, multimodal pipelines, computer-use modeling, agent orchestration frameworks, and decision-making systems. • Lead the design and implementation of ML infrastructure and services for model training, fine-tuning, large-scale inference, model serving, monitoring, drift detection, continuous learning loops, and ML operations for agentic systems. • Partner closely with product, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams to translate research advances into customer-facing capabilities. • Research state-of-the-art techniques in prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, chain-of-thought, tool use, long-term memory, and RL or imitation learning for agent behavior, and apply them to automation workflows. • Establish best practices, frameworks, and metrics for evaluating agentic systems, including offline evaluation, simulation environments, human-in-the-loop feedback, A/B testing, and cost, latency, and quality analysis. • Serve as a technical leader and mentor across ML engineering, data science, and software engineering, fostering a culture of experimentation, reproducibility, versioning, and rigorous evaluation. • Represent UiPath in the broader community through publications, open-source contributions, conference participation, and collaboration with academia or ecosystem partners. What We Are Looking For • Advanced degree (MS or PhD preferred) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a related field, or equivalent experience. • 10+ years of industry experience in machine learning, including substantial experience building and operating ML systems in production. • Deep expertise in modern ML frameworks and libraries, strong proficiency in Python, and experience integrating ML models into large-scale software systems. • Proven experience with large language models or foundation models, including fine-tuning, data preparation, inference optimization, or model evaluation. • Experience with large datasets, distributed training or inference, scalable architecture design, and optimization for latency, throughput, and cost. • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex ML concepts to product and business audiences. • Demonstrated technical leadership in mentoring, influencing strategy, balancing research with delivery, and driving high-impact outcomes. #LI-MH1 Maybe you don’t tick all the boxes above—but still think you’d be great for the job?
