Job Description:

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:

1. 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
