JOB TITLE: Principal Software Engineer, Data Platform — Data Trust & AI Context
As a Principal Software Engineer in the Data Platform Group, you will provide hands-on technical leadership within the Data Trust pillar. You will design, build, and operate distributed systems and reusable platform primitives to ensure data quality, privacy, metadata, lineage, and reliability are enforceable by construction. Your work involves establishing shared Data Trust capabilities, raising reliability across batch and low-latency environments, and building a semantic context layer for trusted analytics and AI. You will utilize Snowflake, AWS data services, Kafka, Python, Java, Go, and advanced SQL to develop declarative enforcement primitives and infrastructure using Terraform and CI/CD. This role solves the technical challenge of making business meaning, provenance, and access policies machine-readable to support governed enterprise data and AI-assisted experiences.
