We are looking for a Principal Architect to take hands-on ownership of the most technically complex parts of the platform:

How data flows in, how AI makes decisions, and how the platform talks to enterprise tools.

This is not a strategy or advisory role. You will be doing the actual design and technical decision-making, writing specifications that engineering teams build against, and setting the technical bar for how things get built. You will work independently with a high degree of trust, and the broader team will look to you as the technical authority in your areas.

Experience: 10+ Years

Work Mode: Hybrid

Technical Skills & Requirements:
Experience

•10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with at least 3 years working as a senior or principal-level architect or engineer

•A track record of designing and shipping systems that run at enterprise scale in production — not just prototypes or internal tools

•Experience building platforms or frameworks that other engineers build on top of, not just application-level features

•Comfortable working across multiple programming languages — ideally Java, Python, or Node.js

2.Data & Real-Time Systems





•Experience building pipelines that process large volumes of real-time data reliably

•Familiarity with message streaming platforms such as Kafka or Azure Event Hubs

•Understanding of how to handle failures, retries, and recovery in data pipelines without losing data

3.AI & Intelligent Systems

•Hands-on experience integrating AI or large language models into real production systems — not just experimentation

•Understanding of how to build AI workflows that chain multiple steps together and use external tools

•Awareness of the trade-offs between running AI models yourself versus using a managed AI service

•Experience building systems that retrieve relevant context to make AI outputs more accurate

4.Integrations & APIs

•Experience designing frameworks or platforms that connect to many different third-party tools in a consistent way

•Solid understanding of how enterprise authentication and security works when connecting to external systems

•Ability to design integrations that are reliable, recoverable, and easy to monitor

•Familiarity with enterprise IT tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, or similar platforms
