Principal Software Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps.

• Own the architecture, technical direction, and multi-quarter delivery of an enterprise organizational model supporting hierarchical product lines, business units, isolated data access, cross-cutting workflows, scoped approvals, and regional data residency.
• Define durable platform abstractions that accommodate diverse and sometimes conflicting enterprise requirements while prioritizing scalable, general-purpose solutions over one-off customizations.
• Lead the transition of a live production platform toward a multi-tenant organizational structure, designing safe migration strategies and sequencing changes incrementally without disrupting existing customers.
• Balance long-term architectural goals with near-term customer value by establishing meaningful delivery milestones and ensuring each phase provides tangible product outcomes.
• Drive technical execution and alignment across multiple engineering squads, using architectural clarity, technical credibility, and strong communication rather than formal authority.
• Partner with Engineering leadership, Product, and Design to translate strategic architectural objectives into practical, phased, and deliverable initiatives.
• Establish technical standards, architectural patterns, and engineering practices for the program while influencing broader platform architecture and engineering excellence.
• Engage with enterprise customers and internal stakeholders to understand complex organizational needs and translate them into scalable product and platform solutions.

• 15+ years of deep backend software engineering experience, including ownership of complex, multi-quarter technical initiatives in fast-paced, product-oriented environments.
• Proven experience designing platform abstractions that address complex and conflicting enterprise requirements across a diverse customer base.
• Demonstrated ability to break large, structurally complex technical initiatives into incremental phases that deliver customer value while supporting a coherent long-term architecture.
• Strong experience influencing and coordinating engineering teams outside your direct reporting structure through technical leadership, credibility, and clear communication.
• Deep knowledge of enterprise architecture patterns, including multi-tenancy, role-based access control, data isolation, scoped permissions, cross-tenant operations, and access boundary design.
• Strong backend engineering and architectural expertise, with the ability to reason about complex systems and make sound long-term technical decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make sophisticated technical concepts understandable to engineering leaders, product teams, and customer-facing stakeholders.
• Experience with data residency requirements or regulated cloud environments such as GovCloud is a plus.
• Curiosity about AI and a willingness to use AI responsibly to amplify engineering capabilities, improve efficiency, and strengthen technical outcomes.
• Strong product judgment, ownership, adaptability, and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous and highly complex problem spaces.

• Competitive salary and equity package.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with employee-only premiums fully covered for most medical plans.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all new parents.
• Health and wellness stipend.
• Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend.
• Commuter benefits for employees working from the San Francisco or New York offices.
• Family planning benefits.
• Matching 401(k) contributions with immediate vesting.
• Flexible paid time off policy plus 80 hours of sick time.
• 11 company-paid holidays.
• Virtual team-building activities, lunch-and-learns, and company-wide events.
• Access to a global office network across San Francisco, New York, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney.
• Remote-friendly working environment.
