Principal Engineer - job 1 of 2

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Principal Engineer in United States.

The Principal Engineer will serve as the technical authority for backend application architecture and containerized runtime environments, driving the evolution and reliability of a modern SaaS platform. This role focuses on architecting scalable, maintainable, and secure systems while mentoring engineering teams and promoting AI-enabled development workflows. You will collaborate closely with IT operations, security, and engineering leadership to ensure production-ready services, optimal cloud-native deployment, and observability across services. While not primarily responsible for feature delivery, you will contribute to complex prototypes, unblock teams, and guide critical architectural decisions. This position offers a high-impact, remote-friendly environment where strategic engineering leadership shapes the foundation of enterprise-grade software.


Accountabilities:
  • Act as a technical authority for backend system architecture and containerized runtime environments
  • Design and evolve APIs, service boundaries, data access patterns, and asynchronous workflows
  • Guide teams on scalable, maintainable, and production-ready application patterns
  • Lead decisions on container orchestration and deployment strategies in AWS
  • Champion AI-enabled development workflows and mentor engineers on best practices
  • Collaborate with IT, security, and engineering leadership to align architecture with compliance standards (e.g., SOC 2, FERPA, COPPA)
  • Ensure observability, diagnosability, and resilience of all services in production
  • Develop and maintain documentation, architecture diagrams, and standards for consistent implementation

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Proven ownership of application architecture in production SaaS environments
  • Expertise in C# and ASP.NET Core; sufficient JavaScript/TypeScript experience for full-stack collaboration
  • Hands-on experience with containerized applications and orchestration on AWS (ECS preferred)
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (CloudFormation or Terraform), and cloud-native deployment practices
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows and tools
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate across infrastructure, IT, and engineering teams while maintaining architectural oversight
  • Experience in regulated environments (education, healthcare, finance) preferred but not required
  • Strong analytical, communication, and mentoring skills; ability to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary range of $175,000–$185,000 annually
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Disability and life insurance coverage
  • Flexible spending accounts and wellness benefits
  • Professional development and continuing education support
  • Remote-friendly work environment with flexibility and autonomy
  • Inclusive and diverse culture focused on collaboration and innovation
