Principal Software Engineer

Description :

• Define multi-quarter technical strategy and target architecture across multiple squads; lead design councils and author ADRs for cross-cutting decisions.
• Establish and enforce org-wide engineering standards and API governance (versioning, deprecation, pagination, caching, security).
• Set performance budgets and Core Web Vitals targets; drive systemic improvements via SSR / SSG, code-splitting, edge / CDN caching, and RUM dashboards.
• Own reliability for critical user journeys; define SLOs / SLIs / error budgets, implement canary / blue-green rollouts, circuit breakers, autoscaling, and lead blameless postmortems.
• Build and govern a reusable design system and frontend platform (monorepo strategy, component libraries, Storybook) to accelerate delivery across teams.
• Elevate developer experience : standardised CI / CD pipelines with quality gates (lint / typecheck / tests / coverage), artefact provenance / SBOM, SAST / DAST, and secure supply chain practices.
• Drive observability standards using OpenTelemetry; publish golden-signal dashboards and alerts aligned to business SLOs.
• Architect resilient, cost-aware cloud topologies in AWS / GCP (multi-region / zone, least-privilege IAM); guide IaC with Terraform / CDK and Kubernetes best practices.
• Optimise data access patterns across MongoDB / Redis (sharding, indexing strategies, TTL / eviction, caching layers); ensure data consistency and idempotency in distributed flows.
• Make pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions; evaluate and introduce technologies with a clear ROI and deprecation plan for legacy systems.
• Partner with Product, Security, SRE, and Data teams to craft roadmaps, sequence risks, and land multi-team initiatives on schedule.
• Mentor and multiply senior / staff engineers; lead design reviews, create growth plans, calibrate hiring loops, and raise the engineering bar.
