Job Description:

We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to spearhead the architecture, evolution, and delivery of iModel Cloud Sync Services, enabling high-volume data ingestion, transformation, and synchronization from heterogeneous engineering sources into the iTwin platform. This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, orchestration frameworks, state-machine-driven workflows, and enterprise-grade reliability. As a Principal, you will define architectural direction, mentor teams, and ensure that the platform is engineered for scale, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

Job Responsibility:

Architectural Leadership: Evolve end-to-end architecture for cloud-based ETL workflows and engineering data synchronization
Architect event-driven systems using microservices, container orchestration, and state-machine-driven execution
Lead design of multi-tenant services optimized for global scale, performance, and cost-efficiency
Cloud Platform & Distributed Systems: Design cloud-native pipelines using Kubernetes, focusing on zero-downtime rollouts and secure configuration management
Implement distributed locking and conflict-resolution mechanisms for high-concurrency data sync
Ensure robust observability through distributed tracing, automated diagnostics, and structured logging
Data & ETL Workflow Architecture: Drive ETL design for engineering data, focusing on schema management, versioning, and domain-model mapping
Master workflow orchestration using engines like Temporal or Step Functions to ensure idempotency and transactional integrity
Reliability, Resilience & Operational Excellence: Define resilience strategies, including SLOs, self-healing workflows, circuit breakers, and failure isolation patterns
Champion operational health through architecture reviews, capacity planning, and cloud cost governance
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Mentor senior engineers on distributed systems, cloud-native patterns, and engineering best practices
Align engineering execution with long-term platform vision by partnering with product and architecture leaders

Requirements:

12+ years of professional experience in software engineering with proficiency in .Net, C# and strong focus on distributed cloud systems
Deep expertise in Azure, Kubernetes, containerization, microservices, and cloud operations
Proven architectural leadership in large-scale ETL, orchestration frameworks, workflow engines, and distributed processing systems
Strong experience with event-driven architecture and messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, Service Bus, RabbitMQ)
Strong grounding in reliability engineering: observability, tracing, metrics, logs, CI/CD, and operational automation

Nice to have:

Good to have experience with large, complex engineering data workflows or digital twin technologies
Good to have experience with metadata-driven pipelines, schema evolution, and data governance
Good to have prior experience in a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, or Architect role with cross-team technical influence

What we offer:

A great Team and culture
An exciting career as an integral part of a world-leading software company providing solutions for architecture, engineering, and construction
An attractive salary and benefits package
A commitment to inclusion, belonging and colleague wellbeing through global initiatives and resource groups
A company committed to making a real difference by advancing the world’s infrastructure for better quality of life, where your contributions help build a more sustainable, connected, and resilient world
