Job description


Software Principal Engineer
The Software Engineering team delivers next-generation application enhancements and new products for a changing world. Working at the cutting edge, we design and develop software for platforms, peripherals, applications and diagnostics - all with the most advanced technologies, tools, software engineering methodologies and the collaboration of internal and external partners.
Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Software Principal Engineer on our Software Engineering Team in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Round Rock, Texas, and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
What you'll achieve
As a Principal Software Engineer, you will be a technical leader responsible for architecting and delivering complex, scalable, high-performance software systems. You will shape technical direction, mentor senior engineers, drive engineering excellence, and influence strategy across product teams. Principal Engineers at Dell act as project leaders and architectural anchors, guiding teams toward high-impact, high-quality outcomes.
Responsibilities
You will:
  • Lead design and architecture for large-scale, distributed, or microservices systems
  • Prepare, review, and refine technical specifications and architectural documentation; develop end-to-end software solutions with deep involvement in both backend and frontend layers
  • Own complex technical implementations, ensuring performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability; conduct design reviews, code reviews, and provide mentorship to senior and mid-level developers
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver new capabilities, modernization initiatives, enterprise-grade integrations and influence engineering standards, best practices, and long-term platform strategy
  • Drive technical risk identification, mitigation, and solutioning

Qualifications
Take the first step towards your dream career
Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here's what we are looking for with this role:
Essential Requirements
  • 8-12 years of professional software development experience delivering complex systems at scale
  • Deep technical expertise in one or more backend languages (Java, Go, Python, C#, or similar) and experience building distributed or microservices-based architectures; strong proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) and JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Advanced understanding of system architecture, data modeling, multithreading, API design, performance optimization and experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD pipelines)
  • Hands-on experience with both relational and NoSQL databases; ability to independently design, implement, and debug complex, large-scale systems
  • Demonstrated leadership in technical decision-making, mentoring, and cross-team collaboration

Desirable Requirements
  • Experience integrating AI-enabled automation and agentic AI (LLMs, autonomous agents, orchestration frameworks), along with familiarity in RAG, prompt engineering, vector databases, and enterprise platforms like ServiceNow
  • Strong foundation in Agile and cloud-native ecosystems, including GitOps, Kubernetes (Helm/Kustomize), security practices, and contributing to platform strategy or architectural governance
