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

Lead and scale a high-performing Applied Science org at the intersection of research and product—setting strategy, raising the bar on scientific excellence, and shipping reliable, cost-efficient ML systems that power UiPath—while diving into models when it matters and shaping roadmaps, talent, and cross-functional execution.

What you'll do at UiPath

  • Org Scope: Build and lead a multi-disciplinary team of applied scientists across core product lines (document understanding, UI automation, agents). Launch and scale UiPath’s new London site.

  • Stack: Python, PyTorch, numpy, scikit, Langgraph, and various agentic frameworks.

  • Outcomes: Deliver quantifiable improvements in model quality, latency, cost efficiency, safety, and reliability through rapid research-to-production cycles.

What you'll bring to the team

  • 10+ years in applied ML, including 4+ years leading multi-team organizations delivering production ML systems.

  • Deep ML expertise, with strong foundations in math, statistics, and computer science.

  • Proficiency in modern ML frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow/JAX) and distributed systems.

  • Exceptional communication skills—able to simplify complex topics for executives and provide precise technical guidance to teams.

  • Values: Kind, motivated, self-starting, and responsible.

Nice to have:

  • Experience in enterprise SaaS, automation, or developer platforms.

  • Experience running large-scale evaluation and optimizing models.

  • State of the art knowledge in one of the following: LLMs, NLP or Computer Vision, with publications, patents or OSS contributions in this space.
