Principal Software Developer, Platform Integrations
About The Position
Our Trust Software Engineering team is seeking a Principal Software Developer to join the Platform Integrations group in a fast-paced, agile environment. This is a senior technical leadership role with broad organizational impact. In this role, you will serve as a technical authority and trusted advisor for integrations across the development platform, particularly in areas related to CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and platform reliability. You will help design and evolve scalable platform capabilities that enable engineering teams to build, test, and deliver software securely and efficiently. While familiarity with security practices is beneficial, the primary focus of this role is platform architecture, developer experience, and reliable system integrations. You will collaborate closely with engineering leadership, product management, security teams, and cross-functional partners to shape technical strategy, influence architectural direction, and drive engineering best practices across the organization. The ideal candidate is highly self-directed, comfortable operating in ambiguous environments, and capable of solving complex platform and integration challenges with long-term organizational impact.
