Job description

Role Overview

In this Principal role, you will lead the design, build, and operational excellence of core platform capabilities covering backend services, modern frontend applications, and critical platform infrastructure or APIs. You will drive architectural strategy, mentor senior engineers, collaborate at cross functional and technical leadership levels, and ensure the system scales reliably across global, enterprise use cases.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and implement the architecture and delivery of backend services and microservices, supporting high throughput, globally distributed systems.
  • Lead frontend development using modern frameworks (React/Angular/Vue.js + TypeScript) for responsive, performant, enterprise grade applications.
  • Drive design and implementation of containerization/Docker and orchestration (Kubernetes) for production scale deployment and standardization across teams.
  • Partner with cross functional leaders (product, UX, QA, architecture) to shape roadmap, align technical strategy with business priorities and ensure rapid but sustainable delivery.
  • Establish engineering best practices: code reviews, technical mentorship, continuous improvement, testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, observability and platform health.
  • Own cloud-native delivery (AWS, GCP, Azure), infrastructure-as-code, monitoring and operational resilience for mission critical capabilities.
  • Lead risk identification and mitigation, optimize system performance, ensure scalability and reliability across multi‑tenant enterprise environments.
  • Act as a mentor and thought leader, enabling engineers across teams, contributing to onboarding, knowledge sharing, industry innovation, and engineering culture.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Extensive professional software engineering experience (or analogous senior technical leadership) with deep expertise in Java and object-oriented design.
  • Strong understanding of RESTful API design, relational databases (SQL) and large‑scale backend operations.
  • Hands on with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) in production.
  • Experience using version control (Git) and agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) in global, cross team environments.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage with senior stakeholders and technical leaders.
  • Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible).
  • Familiarity with data streaming/event driven architectures (Kafka, Flink, Pulsar) and high throughput systems.
  • Mature experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and micro frontend patterns.
  • Strong testing & observability mindset (JUnit, Jest, Cypress) and performance optimisation.
  • Prior experience in global engineering teams, mentoring senior and principal engineers, and setting engineering direction.

Soft Skills

  • Demonstrated technical leadership and mentorship—capable of guiding others to drive technical excellence and elevate team delivery.
  • Strategic thinker with business-oriented mindset: engineering decisions aligned with product and company goals.
  • Agile, adaptable, curious—thrives in fast‑moving environments, embraces change, and champions continuous improvement.
