Principal AI & Lead Software Engineer

We are looking for a talented Principal AI Engineer to join our Engineering Frameworks Team. In this role, you will be instrumental in leading a team in the design, architecture, development, integration, operationalization, and support of AI tools and platforms utilized by developers across the company to build solutions for their lines of business. This is a hands-on engineering role centered on GCP, Gemini and Vertex AI (or comparable services), Claude Code, Copilot, MCP Servers, Java Spring Boot, and React.js. The ideal candidate will have direct, demonstrable experience building and integrating with these specific tools and services, not just general AI familiarity, and a passion for developing, maintaining, and advocating tools that accelerate software development, enhancing productivity and innovation across the organization.

• 7-10 years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, AI engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Proven experience designing and delivering production-quality AI, LLM, or developer-platform capabilities
• Demonstrable hands-on experience with cloud-based AI services such as GCP Gemini and Vertex AI or comparable model platforms
• Extensive knowledge of AI agent architecture, reusable orchestration patterns, shared integrations, and cross-team platform consumption
• Strong experience with enterprise software development using Java and Spring Boot, and working knowledge of React.js for single-page applications
• Experience designing and integrating secure REST APIs and OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect authorization flows, including service-account, client-credentials, or delegated-user patterns
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle, CI/CD, observability, reliability, security, privacy, and responsible AI practices
