Principal Software Engineer

Your Impact
Architectural Leadership: Lead design discussions write comprehensive Design Docs define APIs and service contracts and resolve complex integration trade-offs so our systems work together reliably at scale.
Drive Measurable Results: Take ownership of vague goals or ambiguous problem spaces (e.g. reducing latency improving defect escape rates) and translate them into concrete execution plans with measurable end-to-end outcomes.
Modernization & AI Adoption: Champion the use of AI tools and spec-driven development methodologies to accelerate engineering velocity. Leverage your familiarity with the AI Life Cycle Development (AILDC) process to integrate context and improve system intelligence.
Engineering Excellence: Define libraries scaffolding and testing strategies that reduce boilerplate and ensure quality. Lead incident response drive root cause analysis (RCA) and implement durable fixes that systematically reduce MTTR.
Customer-Centric Execution: Use data to advocate for ROI in architectural choices. Anticipate unstated customer needs and build solutions that directly address them pushing back on low-value work to maintain focus.
Technical Strategy & Influence: Align the technical roadmap ensuring the platform remains resilient performant and future-proof.
Mentorship & Cultural Stewardship: Act as a Multiplier. You will mentor senior and staff engineers fostering an environment of high psychological safety and radical candor.
