Requirements

Candidates must possess at least 12 years of software engineering experience, including backend development with Java/Spring or Node.js, REST, microservices, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). Frontend experience with React, TypeScript, CSS, UI component libraries, accessibility, and micro-frontend architecture is required. Proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), DevOps, observability, and CI/CD pipelines is essential. Prior experience with AI/ML systems, particularly autonomous or agentic behavior design, prompt engineering, reinforcement learning, or rule-based reasoning systems, is necessary. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience is required. Familiarity with Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), or Connector frameworks is a strong plus. Adaptability in fast-paced environments and a keen attention to ethical AI practices are also required.

Responsibilities

The Principal Engineer will lead requirements analysis, software architecture, and design for full-stack systems incorporating agentic AI components. They will develop scalable, secure cloud-native services, implement autonomous modules for planning and learning, and integrate explainability and safety mechanisms into agentic behaviors. Responsibilities include driving best practices in coding, testing, CI/CD, and DevOps, mentoring engineers, and collaborating cross-functionally to align AI behaviors with business goals. The role involves documenting the development lifecycle, maintaining existing services, and originating new agentic capabilities, with a proactive, customer-centric mindset focused on potential agent actions.
