Description

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to help architect and build complex, high-scale systems across AI, data, and network-focused applications. This is a deeply technical and hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys solving system-level problems, writing high-quality code, and shaping architecture without formal management responsibilities.

You'll work alongside strong engineers across backend, DevOps, and AI teams — bringing clarity to technical decisions and contributing directly to production code.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop core backend systems for secure, large-scale web applications — including authentication, access control, and network-aware services
  • Build and integrate AI-powered services, such as agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and semantic search using vector databases
  • Implement and scale data processing pipelines, supporting real-time and batch workloads for analytics and automation
  • Work closely with DevOps teams to support robust CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and observability standards

Lead by example in code, contributing to key components, conducting deep technical reviews, and advocating best practices

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

6+ years of experience in backend or systems engineering, including large-scale production systems

Proficiency in one or more backend languages (Python, Go, Java, etc.)

Experience designing distributed systems using microservices, messaging queues, and event-driven architectures

Familiarity with cloud-native development (AWS/GCP), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and IaC tools (Terraform, CDK)

Exposure to secure system design — including auth flows, API hardening, and system-level controls

Understanding of data engineering or AI/ML integrations (e.g., RAG systems, vector stores) is a plus

- Strong system design skills and the ability to work independently on complex technical problems
