Principal Software Engineer - Agentic Engineering Platform

Role overview

As a principal-level engineer on a team building AI-assisted engineering tools, you’ll help reshape how software moves from planning through production. You’ll create shared agents and developer tools that can use engineering knowledge and systems, while making their work safe, traceable, and useful across product teams.

Responsibilities

- Find high-impact bottlenecks in software delivery, use evidence to set priorities, and guide improvements through adoption. - Build and operate cloud-based agents and tools that connect AI models with internal knowledge, code, APIs, and engineering systems. - Improve workflows spanning planning, implementation, testing, review, release, and production feedback. - Work with engineering teams to understand their needs, pilot solutions, and make tools and guidance easy to adopt independently. - Make agent-driven work dependable through permissions, isolated execution, testing, review, recovery, cost controls, and traceable activity. - Run focused experiments with new AI capabilities and assess their effects on delivery time, quality, review effort, and cost.

Requirements

- At least eight years of software engineering experience, including building and operating production systems and making technical decisions across unfamiliar systems. - Strong knowledge of API design, service-oriented architecture, scalability, and security. - Practical skill with AI coding tools and sound judgment about context, model choice, and when human review is needed. - Ability to turn ambiguous problems into experiments and working solutions while learning new domains. - Experience helping engineers adopt tools or new ways of working through collaboration and clear communication.

Nice to have

- Experience deploying agents or shared engineering tools, and operating cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, permissions, and isolated environments. - Familiarity with automated testing, agent evaluations, tracing, and observability. - Experience scaling a prototype across teams and demonstrating improvements to delivery, reliability, or cost. - Background with complex products in transaction-heavy domains.

Benefits and work setup

The role follows a hybrid schedule with an expected two office days per week. Listed benefits include paid time off, health and dental coverage, parental leave, life and disability insurance, wellbeing support, professional development resources, and the option to work from another location for up to 20 days per year. Collaboration across time zones may sometimes require communication outside typical local business hours.
