Join our backend team within the Platform Engineering division as a Principal Software Developer. You'll shape the technical direction, governance, and architecture of our AI-native platform, driving adoption of changes across teams and mentoring senior engineers.

Requirements

• Expert in Node.js, TypeScript, or similar languages, with a track record of setting standards others adopt
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, demonstrated with experience making architectural decisions with long-term, cross-org, multi-year consequences
• A strong AI-native mindset — you've brought AI-assisted workflows into a platform or org, not just your own workflow
• Track record of cross-team impact: changing how multiple teams build, decide, or deliver
• Experience navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders and using data to demonstrate impact
• Expert-level English, spoken and written — you'll lead platform engineering managers across multiple teams and present technical priorities to executive stakeholders
• Strong technical judgment balanced with pragmatism: knows when to advocate for the right solution and when to move forward
