## About the Role

A principal platform engineer is expected to set technical direction for shared infrastructure and services while staying hands on in product code. A strong candidate brings deep backend and infrastructure experience, sound judgment about tradeoffs, and the ability to work across the stack when that is the fastest path. At a company building AI agents for construction permitting, that means shaping the platform those agents run on and the services that connect filings, project data and approvals.
