About The Position

Engineers on the AI Maestro platform team build shared services, APIs, and infrastructure that other teams use to build customer-facing products. Because the platform layer is a critical dependency, a defect or design flaw here propagates into every product built on top of it. This is why the team holds itself to a high quality bar — and why that bar starts with the people it hires. The most senior individual-contributor engineering role, responsible for org-wide architecture, standards, and technical vision. Principal Software Engineers solve ambiguous business problems through technology and set the engineering bar for the entire organization.
