Why This Role Exists
We operate a large-scale, multi-tenant SaaS platform supporting thousands of enterprise customers across the United States. Our backend infrastructure - built on event-driven, serverless AWS architecture - powers critical operational workflows, real-time transaction processing, integrations, and customer lifecycle management at scale.
Now, the organization is evolving toward intelligent automation and agentic AI systems: autonomous, tool-using services capable of reasoning over platform state, interacting with production systems, executing workflows, and learning from outcomes within established guardrails.
This Principal Engineer will lead the design and implementation of these AI-driven systems while also shaping the broader architectural direction of the platform. This is a highly hands-on technical leadership role focused on production engineering, system design, AI orchestration, platform scalability, and operational reliability.
This individual will establish the engineering patterns, architectural standards, and operational safeguards that enable AI-enabled automation to function safely and effectively in high-scale production environments.

  • Drive architectural decisions around model orchestration, workflow automation, scalability, reliability, and cost optimization.
Platform Architecture & System Design
  • Lead architecture and migration initiatives across distributed services and platform modernization efforts.
  • Design scalable patterns for feature rollouts, traffic management, deployment safety, and service decomposition.
  • Own cross-functional architectural concerns including observability, security, identity management, and data architecture.
  • Ensure platform reliability, maintainability, and operational resilience across evolving systems.
Technical Leadership
  • Mentor senior engineers and raise engineering standards across multiple development teams.
  • Lead technical design reviews, architecture documentation, and engineering decision-making processes.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Leadership teams to align technical strategy with business priorities.
  • Help evaluate build-vs-buy decisions across AI, infrastructure, and platform tooling initiatives.
Technical EnvironmentCloud & Infrastructure
  • AWS serverless and distributed systems architecture including Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, ECS/Fargate, Aurora/RDS, API Gateway, S3, and CloudWatch
  • Infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD environments supporting enterprise-scale deployments
