Senior Principal Software Engineer — IAG Platform / Reliability & DevOps Engineering

About this role

Job Description
We are seeking a
Senior Principal Software Engineer
to provide senior technical leadership for our
Identity & Access Governance (IAG)
services—initially focused on IAG and evolving into broader
cross-organization technical leadership
. This is a
Software Engineer role first
, with strong
DevOps/SRE-grade
capabilities. You build robust software systems, deliver major features into production, and take full ownership of reliability, operability, and secure-by-default engineering.


You have deep experience building and operating distributed cloud services and understand control plane architecture, service-to-service communication, and production-grade operational design. You will drive the design of major service components, partner closely with Engineering Managers, Architects, and TPMs, and provide direct technical guidance to engineers across levels.


You are equally comfortable writing architecture documentation and leading peer reviews as you are prototyping, writing production code, reviewing pull requests, improving build/deploy pipelines, and leading incident response when needed. You balance speed and quality through iteration and leave systems—and teams—meaningfully better through automation, instrumentation, and clear engineering standards.


Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and implementation of major capabilities across IAG services and critical platform dependencies, building software that is scalable, secure, and operationally excellent.
• Set technical direction on reliability patterns, service maturity, and delivery standards, including SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, safe rollout strategies, backward-compatible changes, operational readiness expectations, and clear ownership boundaries between services.
• Improve the end-to-end developer-to-production lifecycle by building and evolving:

• CI/CD pipelines
• Automated testing and validation
• Infrastructure-as-code patterns
• Deployment...
