Role Overview

Principal Software Engineer & Team Lead to build an infrastructure management platform from scratch. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will write production code daily and own critical platform subsystems end-to-end.

Responsibilities

• Own architecture and system design for core platform services, meeting reliability, security, compliance, and performance requirements.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of critical capabilities from discovery/design through rollout and continuous improvement.
• Drive technical excellence: standards for code quality, testing, performance, and observability.
• Mentor and grow senior engineers through technical direction, feedback, and ownership opportunities.
• Partner with product/platform/security leaders to translate business needs into technical roadmaps and make trade-offs across speed, safety, and maintainability.
• Improve platform operability: deployment strategies, telemetry/alerting, incident response, and post-incident learnings.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical risks (scaling, reliability, security) before they affect customers.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years software engineering experience; 4+ years in senior/staff/principal roles shipping production systems.
• Expert-level TypeScript for building complex, type-safe applications and reasoning with the type system.
• Expert-level Next.js for production full-stack apps with SSR, API routes, and modern React patterns.
• Strong Go experience for backend services, CLIs, and systems-level tooling.
• Deep expertise in RESTful API design: versioning, error handling, and developer-friendly interfaces.
• Experience building control planes and/or reconciliation loops and state machines for infrastructure automation.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and designing for eventual consistency and failure.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tools.
