TL;DR · Principal Platform Software Engineer

As a Principal Platform Software Engineer on the Logging team, you will build state-of-the-art observability platforms that provide visibility and operational intelligence for internal cloud services and customer workloads. You will lead the evolution of middleware patterns, define versioning and rollout strategies, and establish shared observability baselines like SLOs and error budgets. Your daily work involves designing software solutions, performing performance profiling, managing API lifecycle strategies, and conducting complex troubleshooting to ensure multi-tenant reliability. You will also provide technical guidance and coaching to less experienced engineers while ensuring adherence to architectural standards and secure coding practices. The role focuses on solving high-throughput log ingestion, large-scale data processing, cost-efficient storage, and low-latency query execution within a distributed systems environment to support mission-critical infrastructure at massive scale for both internal teams and global customers.

What you'll do

  • Lead the evolution of middleware patterns and runtimes to standardize interoperability across large-scale systems.
  • Define and enforce versioning, deprecation, and rollout strategies to minimize downstream impacts for cloud services.
  • Design and implement high-throughput log ingestion, data processing, and low-latency query execution features.
  • Conduct performance profiling and optimization to build scalable solutions for multi-tenant reliability.
  • Provide technical guidance, coaching, and code reviews to junior engineers to ensure architectural standards.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex software issues related to API functionality and integration.
  • Implement secure coding practices and automated testing to ensure system availability and security.
  • Participate in the hiring process by interviewing and assessing candidates for the engineering team.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Candidates must have 3 to 5+ years of experience.
  • Experience in designing software solutions and identifying requirements to achieve business goals is required.
  • Ability to lead code reviews and provide technical guidance/coaching to less experienced developers is required.
  • Proficiency in implementing complex API versioning, lifecycle, and interoperability strategies is required.
  • Expertise in performance profiling, optimization, and building scalable systems is required.
  • Experience in implementing secure coding practices to prevent security vulnerabilities is required.
  • Ability to manage and coordinate moderately complex tasks across multiple projects is required.
