Consulting / Principal Software Engineer

About the Role

As a Principal Software Engineer, you will drive architectural decisions, set engineering standards, and share your knowledge with engineers in the teams.

This API streams LLM-generated content to clients using Server-Sent Events (SSE).

You will partner with data scientists, and engineers to ensure we’re building reliable, scalable systems that align with our long-term strategy—while also guiding the team in navigating the rapid evolution of the LLM landscape.
