Principal Software Engineer – AI-Native, Startup Mindset

Location : India- Bangalore (relocation available)

Type : Full-Time

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional engineer who is ready to change how software is built, thrives in fast-moving environments, and is eager to take full ownership of complex projects. This role is not just about writing code—it’s about thinking like a founder, architecting scalable systems, and applying AI-native development practices to accelerate delivery.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the stack (microservices, backends, frontends) and is energized by the potential of AI to transform legacy systems into modern, service-based architectures. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy in a small team of like-minded “intrapreneurs,” collaborating with subject matter experts and business stakeholders at the client side.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Development : Design, build, and deliver production-ready microservices, APIs, backends, and frontends.
• AI-Accelerated Engineering : Use tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor AI, and ChatGPT to scaffold, test, and document code efficiently.
• System Transformation : Lead rewrite efforts from legacy applications to modern architectures, applying iterative strategies such as the strangler pattern to drive AI-centric enterprise-grade code construction.
• Technical Ownership : Operate with a “whole system” mindset—from architecture to deployment—ensuring technical decisions align with business needs.
• Collaboration : Partner with SMEs and domain developers to validate functionality and support knowledge transfer.
