Principal Software Engineer - Backend

The Principal Software Engineer leads our largest, most complex projects - making sure they meet a high bar for performance, scalability, and reliability.

You'll work closely with other technical leaders, product managers, and cross-functional teams to keep solutions aligned with both business goals and technical realities.

This is a hands-on leadership role.

You'll shape architecture, mentor engineers across backend, frontend, and our AI platform, and help bring emerging technology - especially agentic AI into the product in ways that genuinely move the needle for customers.

• Design and deploy scalable, high-performance solutions across the stack (backend, frontend, and beyond), and establish the architectural standards for reliability, security, and performance the team builds against
• Help build our AI-native platform - designing agentic workflows that plan, call tools, and run multi-step tasks in production, not just as prototypes
• Stay close to customers - understand their real workflows, sit with their hardest problems, and carry that context back into the architecture and roadmap.
• Lead and mentor engineers across disciplines, promoting best practices in coding, testing, and deployment
• Partner with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to define requirements and deliver integrated solutions that meet both business and technical needs
