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

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

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

Integrations & APIs

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

Robust 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
