Principal Software Engineer - U.S. Remote

<h3><strong>Your Impact</strong></h3> <p>The Principal Software Engineer shapes and evolves our architecture using Distributed Domain Driven Design practices, ultimately ensuring the robustness and scalability of our systems. They influence architectural directions, and through project-embedded consultation. They guide teams to leverage best practices and design patterns.</p> <h3><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h3> <p>● <strong>Architecture Leadership</strong>: Drives the definition and evolution of our architecture using Distributed Domain Driven Design practices. Acts as the strategy leader for key Architecture Quality Attributes (e.g., Availability, Performance, Scalability, Securibility) to inform architecture assessments. Provides project-embedded architecture consultation to promote best Practices, design patterns, and informed buy vs. build decisions.&nbsp;<br>● <strong>Platform Capability Enhancement</strong>: Contributes to the prioritization of platform capability improvements across feature and data platforms. Enhances the capture and communication of architecture descriptions through automation and innovative tools. Shepherds platform-wide strategies, including naming, protocol standards, and design patterns, to ensure ongoing value creation.&nbsp;<br>● <strong>Effective Communication</strong>: Communicates complex technical concepts effectively in both written and spoken forms, catering to both technical and non-technical audiences. Collaborates with stakeholders to build consensus when necessary, ensuring alignment on architectural decisions.</p> <h3><strong>Who You Are</strong></h3> <p>● 15+ years of relevant experience<br>● Experience with high volume distributed technical architectures with a high cost of failure, i.e. focus on reliability and availability&nbsp;<br>● Experience with some amount of ‘Big Data’ technologies such as: ElasticSearch, NoSQL Stores, Kafka, Columnar Databases, DataFlow or Pipeline Systems, Graph DataStores&nbsp;<br>● Experience with leveraging common infrastructure services like Enterprise Message Bus platforms, configuration services, Toggle management systems, and observability systems like Logging and Distributing Tracing Systems&nbsp;<br>● Experience with Domain Driven Design concepts and practices such as bounded contexts, event storming, specification by example, etc.&nbsp;<br>● Experience with design, implementation, and operation of data-intensive, distributed systems<br>● Ability to design and communicate external and internal architectural perspectives of well-encapsulated systems (e.g. Service Oriented Architecture, Docker-based Services, micro-services) using patterns and tools such as Architecture/Design Patterns and Sequence Diagrams&nbsp;<br>● Skilled using Continuous I
