Principal Engineer, Platform Engineering
Rewrite
## About the role
- Work with platform and product teams to turn developer pain points into golden paths, templates, and shared capabilities they'll adopt.
- Lead the design of a capability area or agent workstream that several teams depend on: the dependencies, the interfaces, the design docs, and maintainable code others build on.
- Build and operate the agent and codegen tooling that wires new and existing services onto the foundation (identity, secrets, observability, safe deployment) by default.
- Own what you ship in production, including on-call.
- Watch for regressions, config drift, and integration failures, and fix them.
- Keep raising availability, reliability, observability, and performance, and bring what you learn back to the team.
- Mentor other engineers and hold the "platform as a product" bar.
## Requirements
- Strong engineering fundamentals, with production systems you've built and run at scale.
- AI-native. You've shipped real production software built with generative AI and agents (not just demos), and you have the judgment to direct them.
- Depth in one of identity, secrets and config, observability, or CI/CD and safe deployment, plus working knowledge of the others.
- Cloud-native experience (Azure a plus) and fluency in one or more of C#/.NET, TypeScript, or Python.
- A bias for action and comfort owning things end to end when the path isn't defined yet.
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience coding in languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python — OR equivalent experience.
- Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience, OR Bachelor's Degree AND 10+ years — OR equivalent experience.
- Deep experience in one or more of identity, secrets/config, observability, or CI/CD and safe deployment.
- Azure and modern .NET, or comparable cloud-native stacks.
- Hands-on experience using generative AI and agents to build production software.
- Experience building internal developer platforms, paved roads, CI/CD systems, or cloud infrastructure at scale.
## Nice to have
- Azure and modern .NET, or comparable cloud-native stacks.
