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.

What You'll Do At UiPath

This is a senior, externally-facing DevRel role. You will:

• Build trust in high-signal developer communities
• Create code-first assets that materially improve the developer journey
• Elevate the conversation around enterprise-grade orchestration, governance, and production readiness
• Earn and grow professional developer mindshare for the UiPath platform through authentic engagement, technical credibility, and a help-first approach.

Developer Community Engagement

• Deliver 6+ earned talks or workshops annually at high-signal community conferences and meetups
• Build and maintain relationships across Python, JavaScript, AI, and integration-focused communities
• Participate authentically in developer ecosystems (GitHub, Discord, Reddit, local meetups, industry conferences)
• Collaborate with the UiPath Community team to engage our MVPs and developers in our broader UiPath community
• Travel approximately 20–30%, including your earned event presence and select UiPath developer events

Code-First Developer Enablement

• Publish 2+ code-first developer assets each month that improve the developer journey, such as runnable repos, quick starts, opinionated examples, templates, and technical walkthroughs
• Create concise technical demos that make complex capabilities approachable
• Collaborate with a dedicated production team (technical writers and video editing) that can scale your content into high-quality developer assets
• Partner with the UiPath Product and Community teams to improve developer documentation and platform education materials

Technical Thought Leadership

• Demonstrate practical patterns for building, orchestrating, and governing AI-powered automations and agents
• Translate platform capabilities into credible, production-oriented examples
• Articulate where enterprise requirements (security, auditability, reliability) meaningfully change architecture decisions

Internal Advocacy & Influence

• Champion the professional developer perspective internally
• Surface ecosystem trends, competitive signals, and developer friction points
• Influence product direction through hands-on experimentation and field insight

What You'll Bring To The Team

• 8–10+ years across roles in Developer Relations, software development, developer advocacy, and/or leading a technical community
• Experience representing a developer platform, API, SDK, cloud, AI, or infrastructure product externally
• Strong hands-on proficiency in Python or JavaScript
• Hands-on experience building or contributing to production-grade software systems, integrations, or distributed architectures
• Demonstrated public technical presence (conference talks, workshops, blog posts, GitHub repos, OSS contributions)
• Proven ability to earn trust with experienced engineers
• Deep developer empathy and a consistent “help first” mindset
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex systems clearly and credibly
• You are not just a speaker. You are a builder, educator, and ecosystem leader who understands (and clears) the credibility bar of professional developers.
• Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States for this role
