Job Title

We’re hiring a Principal Engineer / Engineering Lead to define and build the foundation of an AI-native SaaS platform. This is not a feature delivery role. This is about owning architecture, enabling teams, and building systems that scale — technically and organizationally.What This Role Is AboutYou will take ownership of:System architecture across backend, frontend, data, and infrastructureDesigning platforms that are modular, scalable, and resilient under real-world loadBuilding systems that support AI-assisted and increasingly autonomous development workflowsEnabling engineers to move faster without breaking the systemYou will write code, review deeply, and set direction — but your real impact will come from decisions that compound over time.What You’ll Work OnArchitecting distributed, cloud-native systems at scaleDesigning event-driven systems, APIs, and data flowsScaling platforms with multi-region deployments, zero-downtime releases, and strong reliability guaranteesBuilding performance-first systems (latency, throughput, caching, edge strategies)Establishing engineering systems that support AI-driven development and intelligent product capabilitiesRaising the bar on DevOps, observability, and production readinessWhat We’re Looking For8+ years building and scaling real production systemsExperience operating as a Principal / Staff / Lead EngineerStrong hands-on expertise:Backend: Node.js / TypeScript (Rails is a plus)Frontend: React / Next.jsDeep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and system design trade-offsExperience with AWS, CI/CD, and infrastructure at scaleExposure to AI/LLM systems or strong interest in building AI-native productsSignals We Care AboutYou have designed systems that didn’t fall apart at scaleYou can simplify complexity without oversimplifying the problemYou think in systems, not ticketsYou care about clean architecture, performance, and long-term maintainabilityYou can operate with high ownership and minimal structureWhy This RoleYou will define how the platform is built, scaled, and evolvedYou will work on systems where AI is part of the development and product loopYou will influence both technology direction and engineering cultureClear path to Head of Engineering / Head of TechnologyThis is a role for engineers who want to build systems that last — and evolve with the next wave of software development.ApplySend your resume to Include a short note on what you’ve built and why this role interests you.
