Role: Principal Engineer – Product Engineering
Location: Chennai

Role Description:

CAMS builds regulated financial technology products — retirement, alternative investments, compliance surveillance and document intelligence — for pension funds, registrars, bank operations and distributors. All products are composed on one proprietary platform, a multi engine runtime that deploys identically into a client data centre or as SaaS. This role owns that platform. Final technical authority on its architecture, hands-on in the code, and accountable for what ships to clients operating under SEBI, PFRDA and RBI supervision. Leads a team of engineers across development, QA and DevOps.

Responsibilities:

Own the platform architecture end to end — engine boundaries, runtime contracts, deployment topology, and the composition model that lets a current product be assembled rather than rebuilt.
Act as final technical authority on design decisions, technology selection and build-versus-buy.
Stay hands-on in the code — write it, review it, and carry the problems no one else can.




Own the release train across concurrent product lines against contractual client SLAs.
Own production — uptime, incident response, root-cause discipline, DR posture and drills.
Scale systems in production as client volumes grow — capacity planning, performance tuning and infrastructure cost.
Maintain parity between on-premise and SaaS deployment from a single artifact.
Set and enforce engineering standards — review discipline, test coverage, defect escape rate, observability.
Apply AI-assisted code generation where it earns its place, and debug what it produces before it reaches production.
Debug across the stack — from an application defect to a database, network or infrastructure fault — and find root cause quickly under client pressure.
Ensure audit evidence, access control and data-protection posture withstand regulator and client scrutiny, including DPDP obligations.
Lead technical sections of RFPs, clien
