A Little About the Role As a Principal Engineer, you will serve as a technical visionary and a force multiplier, operating at the organizational level to ensure our technology stack scales alongside these ambitions.
While our Senior Engineers focus on specific features, you will be responsible for the long-term architectural health of the entire ecosystem.

establishing clean domain boundaries, and designing schemas that perform at scale.
Own the technical strategy for the platform's evolution - whether that means
Shape the broader system architecture - API design, service boundaries, integration patterns, event-driven real-time systems - with a focus on reliability
Drive the scaling strategy from our current base to 3-5x, ensuring platform, infrastructure, and operational practices are ready
Partner with product leadership when strategic decisions are made and collaborate effectively with other departments
Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions, investigate emerging technologies
Raise the technical bar through design reviews, architectural standards, and hands-on mentorship of both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Establish lightweight, effective processes for how we make and document technical decisions: RFCs, ADRs, design reviews
