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
