We're looking for a Principal Engineer to work with our team to shape and deliver the architecture for how AlphaSense builds, configures, and safely ships software into a growing fleet of independent production environments expanding into new regions and isolated deployments without multiplying operational cost or slowing product teams down. Progressive delivery, canary deployments, automated rollbacks, trunk-based development, and GitOps are the direction we're actively building; at Principal level you'll define what best-in-class looks like here and bring dozens of teams with you. This is a hands-on role with organisation-wide influence. It requires deep operational and software engineering skill, and the ability to set technical direction across timezones with Engineering leaders, Security, and very senior engineers across many teams. You'll shape the engineering practices a global organisation depends on. We're looking for someone who genuinely embraces AI tooling in their day-to-day work, appreciates the productivity value it brings, and is motivated to push that further both in their own practice and by helping embed AI-assisted workflows into the SDLC for the wider engineering organisation. What You'll Do: * Own the CI/CD and configuration management architecture across our production fleet * Make spinning up a new production environment a templated operation, not a project * Define reference architectures with performance profiles tuned per target cluster scale * Solve version skew and release cadence across environments moving at different speeds * Set the progressive delivery standard: canary, automated rollback, safe-by-default releases * Build the paved paths that let product teams ship anywhere without platform knowledge * Own delivery end-to-end and drive pipeline reliability, speed, and predictability * Evolve our Internal Developer Portal and the self-service experience around it * Partner with Cloud Platform, Security, and Compliance on the controls delivery must satisfy * Set technical direction across the org and mentor Staff and Senior engineers * Embed AI tooling into delivery workflows for lasting productivity gains ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Navigating the AI Wave in DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/853-navigating-the-ai-wave-in-devops) - [Beyond the 9–5: Designing Work Around Humans](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1321-beyond-the-9-5-designing-work-around-humans) ## Related Articles - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
