We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Software Engineer to lead enterprise-wide architectural initiatives, define long-term technology strategy, and deliver highly scalable, resilient distributed systems. This role requires deep expertise in system design, performance engineering, reliability architecture, and cross-organizational technical leadership.

Requirements

• Define enterprise-level architectural standards, system design principles, and engineering guardrails that shape engineering work across multiple business units.
• Lead the design and implementation of highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems that operate at global scale.
• Architect multi-region, fault-tolerant, and globally distributed platforms with rigorous attention to availability, durability, and disaster recovery.
• Drive enterprise modernization initiatives, including microservices transformation, platform consolidation, and legacy decommissioning.
• Define API governance, data architecture, and service communication patterns adopted across the engineering organization.
• Design systems for extreme scalability, availability, and security, including detailed capacity planning and resilience modeling.
• Evaluate and select high-performance data storage solutions appropriate to each major workload class.
• Lead reliability engineering and incident response improvements, raising the bar on operational excellence enterprise-wide.
• Conduct deep architectural reviews and performance audits across multiple platforms.
• Guide engineering teams on concurrency, scalability, observability, and optimization strategies.
• Design observability and monitoring frameworks at enterprise scale, defining standards for metrics, logs, and traces that work consistently across many teams and many production environments.
• Define DevOps, CI/CD, and automation strategy across engineering teams and platforms.
• Partner with executive leadership and product management on technology roadmap decisions.
• Mentor Staff and Senior Engineers and contribute substantively to talent growth across the organization.
• Drive innovation and continuously evaluate emerging technologies for strategic adoption.
• Lead the resolution of critical system-level production issues that require deep architectural insight.

Benefits
