Job Description:

As a Principal Engineer, you will be the technical cornerstone of our engineering organisation - combining deep hands-on expertise with architectural vision and cultural leadership. You will solve the hardest technical problems, guide system evolution across products, and elevate engineering excellence through mentorship, innovation, and process discipline. Youʼll be the go-to person for complex technical challenges, influencing how we design, build, and scale software across teams. Youʼll work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, architects, and product leaders - not from a distance, but by writing code, conducting deep design reviews, and building frameworks that outlast individual projects.

Job Responsibility:

  • Serve as the go-to technical expert for solving complex design and scalability challenges across squads
  • Architect and implement high-performance, observable, and resilient systems, ensuring scalability, cost efficiency, and maintainability
  • Lead initiatives to reduce technical debt, improve modularity, and modernize legacy components
  • Establish platform and framework thinking - advocate reusability, consistency, and extensibility across teams
  • Champion performance engineering practices: benchmarking, rate limiting, instrumentation, load testing, and continuous performance review
  • Identify and drive innovation tracks - from adopting new technologies to building frameworks that accelerate developer velocity
  • Evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., ClickHouse, Kafka Streams, serverless, event-driven architectures) and guide adoption based on data, not hype
  • Proactively improve system design processes, introducing automation, CI/CD optimization, and production readiness frameworks
  • Drive experimentation culture - encourage prototyping and validation of new ideas that improve developer or customer experience
  • Design and evolve cross-cutting architectural blueprints - ensuring cohesion between feature squads and platform foundations
  • Own end-to-end architectural decisions (documented via Architecture Decision Record - ADRs/ Request for Comments - RFCs) and ensure technical integrity over time
  • Lead the definition of reference architectures and ensure their practical adoption through mentorship and example
  • Balance short-term delivery goals with long-term scalability and maintainability - making pragmatic, well-communicated trade-offs
  • Mentor engineers and leads across teams, helping them grow in design thinking, code quality, and ownership
  • Provide technical feedback in performance reviews - offering a holistic, cross-functional view of engineersʼ contributions and growth potential
  • Partner with EMs and PMs to align on roadmap feasibility, prioritization, and architectural debt repayment
  • Run brownbag sessions / Tech Masterclasses (e.g., Elasticsearch vs. ClickHouse, Optimizing Data Footprint, Efficient Storage Practices, Rate Limiting 101) to elevate org-wide knowledge
  • Be a culture carrier - exemplify engineering rigor, curiosity, and ownership
  • Promote a culture of innovation, learning, and collaboration, ensuring every engineer understands the “why” behind their work
  • Encourage repeatability and future-proof design - “Build once, reuse many times.”
  • Help teams “zoom out” - connect their work to the bigger picture of platform scalability, product vision, and customer value
  • Make and own critical architectural decisions, balancing business velocity with technical sustainability
  • Think beyond immediate deliverables - ensure that systems are ready for future scale, reliability, and cost efficiency
  • Collaborate closely with leadership (Directors, PMs, EMs) to define technical vision and align investment

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record in hands-on system design and delivery at scale
  • Expert in JavaScript/TypeScript, and strong experience in Node.js or Python or Ruby for backend development
  • Proficiency with React for front-end
  • SQL/NoSQL databases for data modeling
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, caching, and performance optimization
  • Experience in cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
  • Proven ability to mentor, influence, and lead without authority across multiple squads
  • Exceptional problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Nice to have:

  • Experience driving FinOps (cloud cost optimization, cost-per-feature metrics)
  • Exposure to security & compliance (SOC2, GDPR, data governance)
  • Background in multi-tenant SaaS, observability, and on-prem/hybrid deployments
What we offer:
  • Medical insurance for self, spouse, upto 2 dependent children and Parents or Parents-in-law up to INR 5,00,000
  • Gratuity as per payment of Gratuity Act, 1972
  • Unlimited Time Off
  • Remote-First work environment
  • Remote-First Allowance for home office setup, connectivity, accessories, co-working spaces, wellbeing
