Principal Developer Advocate

Principal Developer Advocate 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 As AI reshapes how software is built and operated, developers need platforms that move fast — and scale responsibly. We’re investing in Developer Relations to earn credibility with the professional engineers building these systems. Professional developers have more choices than ever when building AI-driven workflows and agentic systems. They do not adopt platforms because of marketing — they adopt platforms because they trust the technical substance behind them. The Principal Developer Advocate will establish and grow UiPath’s credibility within professional developer ecosystems across North America.
