About the Role We are partnering with a technology-driven company building complex, large-scale systems and seeking a senior technical leader to help define long-term architecture and engineering standards. The Distinguished Engineer / Principal Architect is a highly influential individual contributor role that works across engineering teams and closely with executive leadership. This role shapes foundational technical decisions and ensures systems scale reliably as the business grows. This position is ideal for a deeply technical leader who wants executive-level impact without direct people management.
