Why This Role Is Important to Arcadia
Arcadia's platform is the backbone of how partners and customers act on healthcare data at national scale. Principal Engineers are the technical owners of the cross-team initiatives and platform-level outcomes that define what Arcadia's engineering organization is capable of — the engineers others look to when the right answer is structural, not incremental.
A Principal Engineer at Arcadia owns the complete vertical slice: requirements through customer validation, design through long-term operation. They raise the floor for the engineers around them through direct coaching, reusable patterns, and the tooling they leave behind. They define how the team adopts AI as a leverage multiplier — not just for their own productivity, but as a standard the team and the org can adopt.

- You are visibly raising the floor on Senior Engineer execution through design reviews, code review, pairing, and direct coaching
- You have shipped AI-native tooling, workflows, or patterns that other teams in the org have adopted, with at least one peer team actively coached on how to apply them

What You'll Be Doing
What You'll Bring
Would Love for You to Have
Tech You'll Work With
Arcadia's platform processes petabyte-scale healthcare data through a lakehouse architecture built on open table formats. Apache Spark drives distributed compute; dbt drives transformations; Kafka moves streams; Cassandra/Scylla handles high-throughput storage; OpenSearch / Elasticsearch powers search and indexing — all orchestrated on Kubernetes in AWS, with services spanning TypeScript/Node, Python, Go, and Java/Kotlin (polyglot, by design).
We're actively expanding this entire platform-stack to be AI-native — enabling the creation of custom agents built on Arcadia's data foundation to solve some of healthcare's biggest challenges. Principal Engineers shape the patterns here. Depth in distributed compute, data infrastructure, or platform engineering translates directly.
