What's the opportunity?

Fin is the #1 AI agent for customer service. It resolves over 1M customer conversations every week, and we're just getting started. We're on the cutting edge of defining how AI agents should work — inventing paradigms that didn't exist six months ago and discovering entirely new problem spaces every time we push the technology further.

This role sits at the heart of the Service Agent pillar — 12 teams and growing, building every capability that makes Fin work. You'll partner at the strategic pillar level: broad context across work streams, deep technical understanding of how Fin operates end-to-end, and the autonomy to decide where you need to go next. When we need a new work stream spun up from scratch — a brand new team, an ambiguous problem space, aggressive timelines — you're the person who makes that happen.

The competitive landscape is intense. Fast-moving AI-native startups are coming hard for this space, shipping aggressively and going after the same deals we are. We need someone who thrives under that pressure, who can maintain technical excellence while moving at startup speed within a company that has the resources and customer base to make that speed count.

What will you do?

• Partner at the strategic pillar level. You'll have broad context across work streams and use that to inform technical strategy and investment priorities. What should we care about? Where should we invest? Where do you need to step in? These are your decisions.
• Spin up 0-to-1 work streams. Bring together engineers who've never worked as a team, disambiguate the problem space, build momentum under aggressive timelines, set high expectations, and drive execution.
• Execute on the most ambiguous, highest-stakes problems. You're hands-on. You write code, you ship features, you're deep in the weeds. We've seen too many Principal Engineers who are brilliant but too far from execution to be effective here.
• Lead experimental work at the AI frontier. Run your own A/B tests, do prompt engineering, build evals, and calibrate accuracy, cost, and latency for LLM-powered features. Much of what we're building are new paradigms for customer-facing software.
• Shape long-term technical strategy through execution. Your hands-on work informs the architecture. You're simultaneously building and thinking about what needs to change about how we build products — data models, system design, the shift from GUI-first to agent-first interfaces.
• Work across the full stack in an AI-first development environment. Every engineer has Claude Code with unlimited tokens and a sophisticated ecosystem of MCP servers, skills, and shared context. You'll push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development and help shape how the entire engineering org works.
• Raise the bar for the people around you. Give direct, actionable feedback that changes outcomes. We don't need someone who mentors juniors on the basics — we need someone who can accelerate and grow the senior and staff engineers around them.

What are we looking for?

The core requirement: engineering depth and product thinking. We need someone who combines deep engineering ability with strong product and design instincts — not one or the other. We don't want engineers who are technically brilliant but disconnected from the product. And we don't want product-minded engineers who have great instincts but can't execute at the level this work demands. You need to be able to both build complex systems AND identify the right problems to solve. This is the single most important dimension we evaluate on.

Beyond that:

• Operated at real scale and has builder energy. You've likely spent time at companies operating at significant scale — the kind of environment where you've seen what large-scale distributed systems actually look like in production. But you also have startup DNA: urgency, resourcefulness, a bias toward building over discussing.
• AI fluency. You're actively experimenting with AI-assisted development, pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and forming opinions about how it changes the way teams build software. This matters more than any specific stack experience.
• Deep technical depth with breadth. You can go deep into the weeds on at least one technical domain, but you also navigate complex multi-team systems with ease. In conversation, you move fluidly from business context to technical strategy to implementation details.
• Communication as a superpower. You can explain to leadership why a technical investment matters, align multiple teams around a complex project, and then walk an engineer through the gnarly implementation details. This role lives and dies on your ability to communicate across every level.
• Extreme autonomy. You partner with the Engineering Director on where you think the pillar needs to go next. You identify problems, form convictions, and act on them. If you're the kind of engineer who waits to be told what to work on, this isn't the right role.
• Critical thinking about the business. You understand what Intercom is optimizing for and translate that into technical decisions. Which work streams need investment? Where are we falling behind? What should we defund to go harder somewhere else? You think at this level naturally.
• At least ~10+ years of experience, with significant time as a technical leader driving complex projects across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Stack agnostic. We use Ruby on Rails, React (migrating from Ember), and AWS. But AI tools increasingly abstract the stack — what matters is your ability to learn, build, and operate effectively with tools like Claude Code. If you're great with a high-level programming language and fluent with AI-assisted development, you'll be productive fast.

Why Intercom, why now?

Fin is #1 — and the race is heating up. We built the leading AI agent for customer service, but fast-moving AI-native startups are coming for this space. This is one of the most consequential competitive moments in tech history, and the engineering decisions made in the next 12 months will determine who wins.

A rare pivot that actually worked. Intercom has been building for 15 years — deep product, massive customer base, strong revenue. But unlike most legacy SaaS companies, we made a successful pivot to AI. While most of SaaS trends down, Intercom trends up. We recently raised $250M to go even further even faster..

AI-first engineering culture. Every engineer gets Claude Code with unlimited Opus 4.6 tokens and 1M context. We're investing heavily in the platform capabilities — MCP servers, skills, shared tooling — that make AI-assisted development genuinely transformative. You'll be at the sharp edge of figuring out what this means for how teams work.

The sweet spot. Big enough to have real resources, customers, and revenue. Small enough that you have genuine agency. Bold enough to make decisions that most companies of this size wouldn't. You come to Intercom if you want the impact of a startup with the backing of a company that's been winning for 15 years.

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced leader to drive the execution and refinement of our client's experimentation-led growth initiatives. The Experimentation Lead will be responsible for translating overarching optimisation strategies into robust experimentation programs, cultivating a culture of rigorous testing and learning, and ensuring measurable business impact through a systematic, data-driven approach focused exclusively on experimentation. This role will operate with a high degree of granularity, directly implementing and optimising the experimentation framework defined by the Optimisation Principal.

What you’ll be doing:

Lead for Global Experimentation Activities:

• Serve as the lead for all global experimentation activities, overseeing daily operations and tactical direction for the client's testing roadmap.
• Develop a deep understanding of the client's business landscape and challenges to identify and drive high-impact, experimentation-based growth opportunities.
• Manage program resources and timelines specific to experimentation initiatives, ensuring the successful, on-schedule, and in-scope delivery of tests and learning agendas.
• Leverage a strong commercial acumen to optimise resource allocation for experiments, monitor testing throughput, and rigorously track the Return on Investment (ROI) of experimentation.
• Contribute to strategic forecasting and provide comprehensive performance reporting on experimentation outcomes and insights.
• Cultivate and maintain robust relationships with client stakeholders, specifically around experimentation planning, execution, and results across global regions.

Experimentation Strategy & Execution:

• Champion Experimentation-Led Growth (ELG) across the organisation, fostering a mindset of continuous learning and data-driven decision-making through practical application.
• Implement and continuously refine the comprehensive ELG framework, methodologies, and best practices, working within the strategic direction set by the Optimisation Principal.
• Lead cross-functional teams to meticulously design, execute, and rigorously analyse experiments that drive key business metrics.
• Develop and scale an infrastructure for continuous testing, learning, and iteration, focusing on efficiency and velocity.
• Translate complex data insights derived directly from experiments into actionable strategies that ensure sustained business impact.

Technical Planning and Experimentation Delivery:

• Lead the technical planning and execution of all experimentation programs, leveraging in-depth knowledge of the underlying technology stack crucial for testing. This includes, but is not limited to, advanced experimentation platforms, comprehensive analytics suites (for measurement), and Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) (for audience segmentation).
• Architect integrated solutions by understanding the capabilities, limitations, and interoperability of these experimentation-focused technologies, ensuring they are strategically deployed to maximise testing velocity, accuracy, and deliver against growth objectives.

What we want from you:

This is a pivotal role demanding a unique blend of leadership, strategic thinking, deep technical grounding, and exceptional relationship-building.

Visionary Leadership & Strategic Thinking

• We need someone who can chart a clear course, transforming complex business challenges into actionable, growth-focused optimisation strategies. This involves setting ambitious goals, building strategic roadmaps, and understanding the market landscape.
• You'll be a true leader and influencer, inspiring and guiding diverse teams, fostering a culture where experimentation and continuous improvement thrive. This means being adept at leading, mentoring, and communicating effectively across all levels, driving organisational change where needed.
• Crucially, you'll be a champion for Experimentation-Led Growth (ELG). We're looking for someone with a deep conviction and the ability to instil this mindset throughout the organisation, pushing beyond basic A/B testing towards a systemic, evidence-driven approach to growth. You should be excellent at generating hypotheses and applying scientific rigor to business problems.
• Given your global reach, a global perspective is essential. You'll need to understand and navigate diverse market needs, cultural nuances, and regional complexities to implement effective strategies worldwide.

Deep Technical Expertise & Architectural Acumen

• This role demands profound knowledge of optimisation technologies. You'll need to know the capabilities, limitations, and how to integrate core platforms that power modern growth initiatives. This includes:
  • Experimentation Platforms: (e.g., Adobe Target, Optimizely) - understanding advanced features, server-side vs. client-side testing, and statistical interpretation.
  • Analytics Suites: (e.g., Google Analytics 4, Adobe Analytics, Amplitude) - knowing how to implement advanced segmentation, custom reporting, and effective event tracking.
  • Content Management Systems (CMSs): (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore) - understanding how they support personalisation and content delivery.
  • Customer Data Platforms (CDPs): (e.g., Segment, Tealium) - familiarity with data ingestion, unification, segmentation, and activation.
  • Recommendation & Personalisation Engines: (e.g., Dynamic Yield, Braze) - understanding algorithm types, real-time personalisation, and integration patterns.
• You'll act as a champion of integrated solutions, designing use cases for how these various platforms work together seamlessly to achieve specific business outcomes. While not a data engineer, you should also have a strong understanding of data infrastructure and operations, particularly data pipelines, warehousing, and governance related to experimentation.

Flawless Execution & Program Management

• We need someone adept at managing large-scale programs and projects. This means meticulously planning, executing, and overseeing multiple, complex global initiatives, always ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery. Proficiency in agile or waterfall methodologies, resource allocation, and risk management will be key.
• You'll also be instrumental in defining and implementing efficient processes, creating and optimising repeatable frameworks for experimentation, technical delivery, and reporting.

Data-Driven Acumen & Commercial Focus

• You'll embody data-driven decision-making, leveraging insights to identify opportunities, validate hypotheses, measure impact, and drive strategic recommendations. This includes strong analytical skills, statistical understanding for A/B testing, and the ability to interpret complex datasets.
• A sharp commercial acumen is vital. You'll understand the financial implications of your work, consistently tying technical and strategic initiatives back to measurable business value and a clear return on investment. This includes proficiency in ROI calculation, forecasting, and budgeting.
• Finally, you'll excel at performance reporting and storytelling, communicating complex results and strategic recommendations clearly and compellingly to diverse audiences, from technical teams to executive leadership.

Exceptional Client & Stakeholder Partnership

• Success in this role hinges on building and maintaining strong relationships with key client stakeholders across all levels and global regions. You'll be a trusted advisor, practicing active listening and expert expectation management.
• This extends to collaborating effectively across functions internally. You'll work seamlessly with product, engineering, marketing, and data science teams, influencing without direct authority and fostering a truly collaborative environment.

Overall, we're seeking a growth-obsessed, highly curious individual with a problem-solving mindset. Someone who is accountable, results-driven, and possesses a strong systemic view, understanding how all the pieces fit together to drive continuous, measurable impact.

What we can offer you:

Alongside the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands around the world, we’ll also prioritise your career development and help you grow your skills. We’ll empower you to make a difference, allow you to be yourself, and respect who you are.

The Mission

We are building more than a calculation engine; we are building an integrated global financial ecosystem. As a Principal Engineer, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of payroll data—from the moment an employee is onboarded in a third-party HRIS, through our deterministic bitemporal calculation engine, to the final generation of global payment files and statutory reporting.

You are an architect who writes code, a data engineer who understands state, and an integration expert who knows that a payroll system is only as good as the data flowing into it.

The Stack

• Core Engine & Data: Python (NetworkX, Pydantic, Decimal), PostgreSQL (Bitemporal modeling, dbt for analytics).
• Integrations & Pipelines: Node.js/TypeScript, Event-sourced architecture (Message Queues, Webhooks).
• The Ecosystem: Deep integrations with HRIS/HCMs (Workday, HiBob, BambooHR) and Ebury’s Payments architecture.
• AI-Augmentation: Claude Code for development and AI-driven data extraction.

What You’ll Own (The End-to-End Scope)

1. The Calculation Engine: Design the DAG-based resolver and bitemporal logic to handle complex, multi-jurisdictional payroll math with 100% accuracy.
2. Data Ingestion & Transformation: Architect the pipelines that ingest messy, unstructured data from fragmented HRIS sources and transform it into our deterministic PayrollRuleSchema.
3. Third-Party Integrations: Build robust, API-first connectors and "Outbox" pattern event systems to sync data across the global HR/Fintech stack.
4. The Payment & Reporting Rail: Own the generation of complex output artifacts—from ISO 20022 payment files to localized tax filings and GL (General Ledger) reports.
5. Bitemporal Data Strategy: Ensure the entire data lake supports "As-Of" reporting, allowing users to reconstruct the state of any payroll run at any point in history.

Your Pedigree

• The Full-Stack Backend Mindset: You are equally comfortable optimizing a recursive SQL query as you are designing a resilient webhook listener or a topological sort algorithm.
• Data Pipeline Veteran: You have experience with ETL/ELT patterns, data validation frameworks, and ensuring Exactly-Once processing in financial systems.
• Domain Expertise: You’ve built at Deel, Rippling, Papaya Global or similar Tech-first Global Payroll and Payments company, and you understand that "Integrations" aren't just about APIs—they’re about mapping conflicting data models across cultures.
• Architectural Leadership: You can bridge the gap between "Product needs this integration tomorrow" and "Our data model needs to remain pure for the next 5 years."

The "Hard" Requirements

• Deep Polyglot Backend Skills: Expertise in Python (for the engine) and Node.js/TypeScript (for the integration layers).
• PostgreSQL Mastery: You understand bitemporality, window functions, and how to manage schema evolution in a multi-tenant SaaS environment.
• Location: London (Preferred), Madrid, or Malaga (4 days/week in-office).

Our Challenges

Our job is solid software engineering, not hype engineering. Carrier APIs differ a lot across countries, providers and regulatory regimes. Provisioning, porting, and eSIM lifecycle management happen in real-time with hard SLA requirements. Usage tracking, billing, and payments span multiple currencies and jurisdictions. Our systems need to be observable, operable, and resilient. When a carrier integration fails at 3am in a market far away, we need to know about it before the customer does.

Ours is a world where decades-old carrier protocols meet eSIMs, IoT, satellite connectivity, and the road to 6G. We are bridging that gap; making the old world programmable for the new one. We’re a platform company solving real, durable problems that don’t disappear when the hype cycle turns.

Our engineering team is doubling in 2026. In the next step of our journey, we’re building out a senior IC track, hiring multiple staff and principal engineers, because the challenges we’re solving today are only getting deeper. New markets, new connectivity paradigms, and an architecture that needs to carry us for years, not quarters.

Who You Are

You’ve seen what good and bad look like. You bring experience of operating at scale (technological or organizational) and you know systems and practices that hold up under pressure both from experience and literature. We’re looking for someone who can work across teams, connecting the technical dots between them. Someone who spots domain boundary problems before they become production incidents, and who builds the patterns and processes that the teams around them adopt and keep.

What you will do

• Design and evolve cross-cutting architectures (event-driven systems, multi-carrier integrations, multi-tenant platform patterns) and establish the governance and review practices to keep them coherent as we grow
• Raise the bar on operational excellence. Not just the systems (observability, SLOs, graceful degradation) but the processes and culture around incident response, on-call, and production ownership
• Find the places where AI changes the work, primarily in our platform and engineering practices, and push those forward
• Mentor senior engineers and help define what the senior IC growth path looks like at Gigs
• Ship production code and shape technical strategy with our engineering leadership

What we are looking for

You’ve seen what good and bad look like. You bring experience of operating at scale (technological or organizational) and you know systems and practices that hold up under pressure both from experience and literature. We’re looking for someone who can work across teams, connecting the technical dots between them. Someone who spots domain boundary problems before they become production incidents, and who builds the patterns and processes that the teams around them adopt and keep.

What We Expect on Day 1 (and in the Interviews)

• Experience developing, running, and maintaining distributed systems and event-driven architectures at scale
• Strong operational instincts. You think about observability, failure modes, alerting, and graceful degradation as first-class concerns, not afterthoughts. You’ve built systems that are debuggable by someone who didn’t write them
• Experience navigating and rationalizing polyglot environments
• Excellent communication skills with experience operating in an a international organisation
• Experience with agentic AI development. You’ve worked with LLMs beyond code completion, understand agentic patterns, and have opinions on when AI is the right tool and when it isn’t
• Track record of driving technical outcomes across teams without direct authority. You persuade through credibility and evidence, not rank
• Engineers around you got better because you were there, and you can point to specifics

Nice to Have

• Experience in telecom, payments, or multi-market API platforms
• Familiarity with any of our stack (Ruby, Go, TypeScript, Python)
• Experience at companies during a similar scaling phase (50 → 200 engineers)
• Background in domain-driven design or platform/product boundary work

Our Challenges

Our job is solid software engineering, not hype engineering. Carrier APIs differ a lot across countries, providers and regulatory regimes. Provisioning, porting, and eSIM lifecycle management happen in real-time with hard SLA requirements. Usage tracking, billing, and payments span multiple currencies and jurisdictions. Our systems need to be observable, operable, and resilient. When a carrier integration fails at 3am in a market far away, we need to know about it before the customer does.

Ours is a world where decades-old carrier protocols meet eSIMs, IoT, satellite connectivity, and the road to 6G. We are bridging that gap; making the old world programmable for the new one. We’re a platform company solving real, durable problems that don’t disappear when the hype cycle turns.

Our engineering team is doubling in 2026. In the next step of our journey, we’re building out a senior IC track, hiring multiple staff and principal engineers, because the challenges we’re solving today are only getting deeper. New markets, new connectivity paradigms, and an architecture that needs to carry us for years, not quarters.

Who You Are

You’ve seen what good and bad look like. You bring experience of operating at scale (technological or organizational) and you know systems and practices that hold up under pressure both from experience and literature. We’re looking for someone who can work across teams, connecting the technical dots between them. Someone who spots domain boundary problems before they become production incidents, and who builds the patterns and processes that the teams around them adopt and keep.

What you will do

• Design and evolve cross-cutting architectures (event-driven systems, multi-carrier integrations, multi-tenant platform patterns) and establish the governance and review practices to keep them coherent as we grow
• Raise the bar on operational excellence. Not just the systems (observability, SLOs, graceful degradation) but the processes and culture around incident response, on-call, and production ownership
• Find the places where AI changes the work, primarily in our platform and engineering practices, and push those forward
• Mentor senior engineers and help define what the senior IC growth path looks like at Gigs
• Ship production code and shape technical strategy with our engineering leadership

What we are looking for

You’ve seen what good and bad look like. You bring experience of operating at scale (technological or organizational) and you know systems and practices that hold up under pressure both from experience and literature. We’re looking for someone who can work across teams, connecting the technical dots between them. Someone who spots domain boundary problems before they become production incidents, and who builds the patterns and processes that the teams around them adopt and keep.

What We Expect on Day 1 (and in the Interviews)

• Experience developing, running, and maintaining distributed systems and event-driven architectures at scale
• Strong operational instincts. You think about observability, failure modes, alerting, and graceful degradation as first-class concerns, not afterthoughts. You’ve built systems that are debuggable by someone who didn’t write them
• Experience navigating and rationalizing polyglot environments
• Experience with agentic AI development. You’ve worked with LLMs beyond code completion, understand agentic patterns, and have opinions on when AI is the right tool and when it isn’t
• Track record of driving technical outcomes across teams without direct authority. You persuade through credibility and evidence, not rank
• Engineers around you got better because you were there, and you can point to specifics

Nice to Have

• Experience in telecom, payments, or multi-market API platforms
• Familiarity with any of our stack (Ruby, Go, TypeScript, Python)
• Experience at companies during a similar scaling phase (50 → 200 engineers)
• Background in domain-driven design or platform/product boundary work

At IMC, we believe technology is the foundation of our competitive edge — and machine learning is increasingly central to how we trade. Over the past few years, we've been steadily building our machine learning capabilities: developing infrastructure, growing our in-house GPU cluster, deploying models into production, and partnering closely with quant researchers and traders to generate real impact. Now we’re expanding the team, scaling our systems, and accelerating the application of deep learning in our research and execution workflows.  We're looking for a Principal Machine Learning Engineer to help shape the next phase of our platform — influencing architecture, driving best practices, and solving high-leverage problems. You’ll work alongside researchers and technologists to design the systems that power experimentation, training, and deployment of ML models — and help set the direction for how machine learning is done at IMC as we scale. If you’ve built ML infrastructure at scale elsewhere and are looking for a role where your ideas will genuinely help shape our firm’s future — we’d love to hear from you.

Your Core Responsibilities: 

• Design and build end-to-end infrastructure for training, evaluation, and productionization of ML models, working closely with our HPC engineers who manage our on-prem compute cluster
• Influence foundational choices around data access, compute orchestration, experiment tracking, model versioning, and deployment pipelines
• Partner with quant researchers to accelerate iteration cycles, tighten feedback loops, and bring models from prototype to live trading
• Work with researchers to adapt and deploy modern architectures — transformers, state-space models, temporal convolutions, graph neural networks — to noisy, high-frequency financial data. Explore techniques like self-supervised pretraining, representation learning, and cross-sectional modelling where they offer genuine edge
• Shape our approach to reproducibility, continual learning, and production monitoring across a petabyte-scale data environment
• Define standards that create consistency across teams and geographies; mentor engineers and influence technical culture beyond your immediate work
• Keep pace with developments in deep learning research and ML infrastructure; bring ideas from academia and industry into how we work — whether that's new architectures, training techniques, or tooling

Your Skills and Experience: 

• 8+ years of experience building ML platforms or infrastructure at a leading tech company, research lab, or quantitative firm
• A track record of designing and owning large-scale training and inference systems — not just contributing, but architecting
• Deep proficiency in Python, with strong experience in either CUDA or C++
• Hands-on expertise with modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX) and practical experience implementing architectures like transformers, attention mechanisms, or sequence models
• Strong foundation in deep learning fundamentals: optimization, regularization, loss design, and the trade-offs that matter when training at scale
• Experience with distributed training at scale (Horovod, NCCL) and GPU optimization (cuDNN, TensorRT)
• History of deploying models to production with strong observability, reproducibility, and monitoring practices
• Comfort working across the ML stack from data pipelines to training infrastructure to serving systems

Why This Role: 

• Build, don't inherit — You'll make foundational technology choices in a platform that's still being defined, not maintain someone else's legacy.
• Real investment, real backing — This is a strategic priority with resources behind it, not a side experiment.
• Direct impact on trading — Your infrastructure will power models that make real trading decisions in competitive global markets.
• Global scope — Work with teams across New York, Chicago, Amsterdam, London, Sydney, Hong Kong and beyond; define practices that can scale worldwide.
• Ideas over titles — IMC's culture values clarity, rigor, and collaboration. The best ideas win, regardless of where they come from.
• Tight coupling with research — You won't be building in isolation. Researchers and engineers work side-by-side, iterating together.

#LI-DNP

Here’s a summary of the role:   

This is a principal-level role for someone who has already operated at Staff or Principal Engineer level in a sizeable engineering organization and can point to specific platform decisions — in production today — that they own. You'll set the technical direction for our AI-enabled platform: architecting secure, scalable, serverless systems on AWS, defining the patterns and governance practices that multiple teams adopt, and guiding where AI genuinely adds value across the stack. 

Your leverage comes from the systems, architectures, and standards you put in place — not from individual output. You'll mentor senior engineers, lead org-wide design decisions, and be the person other technical leaders turn to when the hard calls need to be made. You'll still write code, but that's not where your impact is measured. 

If you've led complex platform or AI initiatives at scale, have strong opinions about AI governance in production systems, and want the scope to shape an entire platform's future, this is that role. 

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff): 

• Shape engineering strategy with broad organizational impact — you'll influence long-term architectural direction across multiple teams and products, not just within your own squad. 

• Drive platform evolution by identifying cross-cutting pain points and leading the design of secure, scalable, reusable solutions built on AWS and modern serverless and microservice patterns. 

• Lead architectural discussions and design reviews where the stakes are real — making clear trade-offs around performance, security, reliability, and maintainability, and getting alignment across teams with competing priorities. 

• Own AI architectural decisions end-to-end: design AI-enabled systems with built-in governance, monitoring, and regulatory readiness baked in from the start, not retrofitted. Define where AI adds genuine value and where it doesn't. 

• Act as the organization's AI thought leader — educate engineering teams on model behavior, agentic systems, and responsible AI practices, and raise the overall maturity of how we design and deploy AI. 

• Mentor and stretch senior and staff engineers, building technical leadership depth across the organisation and holding a high bar for engineering standards. 

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 

• Principal-level track record at scale. 10+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years' operating at Staff or Principal Engineer level in an organization of 100+ engineers. You've led large, complex platform or AI initiatives where you were the decision-maker, not a contributor. 

• Deep, opinionated AWS platform expertise. You've designed multi-account AWS architectures and made the call on when serverless is the wrong choice. You work fluently with Infrastructure as Code — Terraform or CDK preferred — and have strong views on observability, resilience, and security that you've translated into org-wide patterns. 

• Production AI systems experience. You've shipped AI-enabled systems — RAG pipelines, agentic frameworks, LLM orchestration, or similar — into production and can discuss the architectural decisions, failure modes, and trade-offs involved. "Understanding AI concepts" is not enough; we need someone who has built and run these systems. 

• AI governance in practice. You've defined and implemented AI governance in real production environments — bias and privacy checks in pipelines, audit-ready monitoring, AI usage policies — not just read about it. This is essential, not a bonus. 

• API design and backend platform delivery. Proven track record designing and shipping RESTful APIs and backend platform components using Node.js/TypeScript. You understand frontend concerns well enough to set API contracts that serve product teams effectively, even if you're not writing React day-to-day. 

• Org-level communication and influence. You can align stakeholders on complex technical decisions, run architecture forums, and mentor other senior technical leaders. You're as comfortable in a board-level conversation as you are in a design review. 

It would be great if you had these to, but we’ll support you if you don’t: 

• Experience building platform components or SDKs that multiple product teams depend on, including the documentation and enablement work that makes them adoptable. 

• Involvement in architecture forums, tech councils, or similar bodies that define org-wide standards — either running them or playing a leading role. 

• Experience optimising cost and performance for data and AI-heavy workloads at scale, including capacity planning and infrastructure tuning. 

• Leadership of major modernisation efforts — legacy migration to serverless, multi-region architecture, or platform consolidation across product lines. 

• A public technical presence — conference talks, open-source contributions, published writing — that demonstrates thought leadership beyond your current organisation.
