Principal Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own technical architecture and system design across two core platforms.
• Keep production stable and the release cadence fast as the platform grows.
• Makes and documents the big calls — what to consolidate, what to harden, what to leave alone.
• Stand up the things a maturing platform needs: observability, runbooks, and engineering guardrails.
• Level up the team through code review, pairing, and clear written decisions.

Technical Requirements

• AWS: Lambda, Step Functions, ECS Fargate, SQS/EventBridge, RDS, S3, IAM
• Strong backend engineering in TypeScript/Node.js (primary)
• Experience working across multiple languages (Go and/or Python preferred)
• Next.js / React frontend development experience
• Production-grade system design (scalability, reliability, observability)
• Experience debugging and optimizing distributed systems

The ideal candidate should also have:

• Experience with Go and/or Python in production environments
• Exposure to LLM / agentic systems (Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, prompt workflows, evals)
• Background in retail, inventory, supply chain, or forecasting systems
• Experience building data-heavy or operational planning tools
• Prior work in high-scale infrastructure environments (AWS-heavy orgs, large tech companies)

Where We’re Looking For It

• Remote (U.S.-based preferred)
• NYC is a plus, but not required
• Ability to travel onsite approximately once per month
