Job Title: Principal Software Engineer (Infrastructure)
Location- Noida Sector 62
Job brief:
We are looking for a Principal Engineer to set the technical direction for our infrastructure organization. In this role, you will partner with engineering leadership to define multi-year infrastructure strategy, identify and drive cross-cutting initiatives, and raise the technical bar across multiple teams.
You will operate with significant autonomy on ambiguous, high-impact problems, and your influence will extend well beyond the code you personally write. You will be a force multiplier — making other engineers more effective, shaping architecture decisions across the org, and representing the engineering function in conversations with senior leadership, partner teams, and external stakeholders.
Your goal is to ensure that our infrastructure is a long-term competitive advantage: reliable, secure, scalable, and a delight for developers to build on.
Responsibilities:
Define and own the multi-year technical roadmap for infrastructure, reliability, and developer productivity,
in partnership with engineering leadership and product stakeholders.
Drive cross-team and cross-org initiatives that span multiple quarters, breaking down ambiguous problems into executable workstreams for senior engineers.
Set architectural standards for large-scale distributed systems, including service design, data systems, networking, and platform abstractions.
Own the reliability posture of the organization — define SLOs, error budgets, and the operational practices (golden signals, incident response, capacity planning) that teams are expected to follow.
Identify and eliminate entire categories of toil and operational risk, not just individual instances.
Lead the technical strategy for the developer platform — what we build in-house, what we buy, what we contribute to upstream — and ensure the platform scales with the engineering org.
Set the security and compliance bar for infrastructure, partneri
