As a Principal IT Software Engineer in our cutting-edge cloud engineering team, you will design and develop AI-driven software architectures that enable autonomous systems and intelligent pipelines across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Your daily tasks include architecting scalable multi-cloud infrastructure using Pulumi or Terraform, integrating custom LLM agents for predictive auto-scaling, and implementing next-gen observability frameworks like OpenTelemetry with AI anomaly detection. You will also optimize Kubernetes clusters and manage complex incident responses by training an internal On-Call AI Agent to perform automated Root Cause Analysis. The role requires expertise in TypeScript/Node.js, Go, or Python, along with a deep understanding of multi-cloud environments, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines featuring AI-assisted code reviews. Ideal candidates have 6+ years of experience in Cloud Software Engineering or SRE, including hands-on work with LLMs and predictive analytics in large-scale distributed systems.
