Job Description: A Principal Software Development Engineer leads the design, development, and testing of complex software systems and applications. This senior-level position is responsible for creating scalable, high-quality software solutions while providing technical leadership, driving engineering excellence, and providing mentorship to engineering teams. Job Description - Lead the planning and execution of AI-native transformation initiatives across engineering teams — owning key technical workstreams end-to-end within the broader enablement program. - Serve as a senior technical enablement resource across engineering teams — writing skills, context files, and AI workflow configurations that make teams AI-native in their actual repos. - Own the enablement lifecycle for assigned areas: readiness assessments, AGENTS.md authoring, skill architecture, and adoption follow-through at organizational scale. - Drive adoption of AI-assisted SDLC practices — designing agent workflows, authoring specifications, and ensuring teams have the technical foundations to work effectively with AI tools. - Architect reusable enablement patterns — skills, templates, frameworks, and reference implementations that compound across the organization rather than solving the same problem repeatedly. - Lead the development of internal AI tooling and platforms as
the team's capabilities grow — SDKs, integrations, and automation frameworks that accelerate adoption at scale. - Bridge the gap between platform capabilities and team needs — identifying where teams are stuck, designing the right technical solutions, and feeding friction patterns back to platform teams. - Provide technical leadership through architectural guidance, code reviews, and hands-on pairing — setting the engineering standard for
the team. - Operate across the full SDLC — from
requirements and architecture through build, test, deploy, and delivery — ensuring enablement touches every phase, not just code generation. Job
Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field; advanced degree preferred. - 5+ years of experience in software development, with demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives across teams. - Strong understanding of the full software development lifecycle — from
requirements and architecture through build, test, and deployment. - Extensive experience designing and implementing systems that scale — whether applications, platforms, internal tooling, or developer infrastructure. - Strong programming skills across multiple languages and stacks, with a broad generalist mindset — comfortable working across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and DevOps as needed. - Experience driving adoption of new tools, practices, or platforms across engineering organizations — not just building, but getting teams to use what you build. - Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and workflows (GitHub Copilot, LLM APIs, agent frameworks, or similar). - Ability to provide technical leadership through architectural guidance, code reviews, and hands-on pairing — elevating
the team's output, not just your own. - Exceptional communication skills — comfortable presenting to leadership and pairing with engineers in the same day. - Strong analytical thinking — able to assess technical opportunities, evaluate trade-offs, and make architectural decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. #LI-BH1 #LI-hybrid Annual Pay Range: 134,400 - 185,000 USD Application Window: This opportunity is expected to remain posted through the date identified below, subject to business needs.
