About the Role

We are hiring Staff / Principal Engineers to take full, hands-on ownership of Blitzy's most critical production-grade systems and to deliver high-leverage features that materially improve customer outcomes and engineering velocity. This is the most senior individual contributor role at the company today.

This is not a Senior-plus role, an architecture-only role, or a promotion-track role. We are looking for someone who has already operated at Principal / Staff+ scope in a highly technical environment and expects to spend their time writing, reviewing, and shipping production code.

This role is 100% hands-on. Leverage comes from system ownership, execution quality, and durable technical decisions — not people management or process.


Responsibilities

  • Own mission-critical production systems end-to-end, ensuring correctness, scalability, performance, reliability, and operational excellence.
  • Design, build, and ship high-impact backend systems and features that improve product reliability, performance, and customer value.
  • Architect scalable services and cloud infrastructure using technologies such as Python, REST, gRPC, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
  • Identify and resolve complex technical bottlenecks that limit engineering quality, system performance, or organizational velocity.
  • Build and operate LLM-powered systems and validation loops that evaluate correctness, consistency, durability, and production performance.
  • Design and evolve data architectures incorporating relational, NoSQL, graph, and vector databases to support complex enterprise applications and semantic retrieval.
  • Modernize and improve complex enterprise systems while balancing reliability, maintainability, scalability, and delivery speed.
  • Set and uphold engineering quality standards through hands-on technical leadership, sound technical judgment, and ownership of long-term technical decisions.


Qualifications

  • Direct experience with Python as a primary programming language, backend frameworks, and microservices architectures.
  • Expertise in REST and gRPC, with proficiency in Node.js and JavaScript.
  • Proficiency in GCP, along with experience using at least one additional cloud platform such as AWS or Azure.
  • Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes and Terraform in production environments.
  • Experience operating highly available production systems, including monitoring, scalability, reliability, performance optimization, and operational tooling.
  • Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB.
  • Familiarity with graph databases such as Neo4j and vector databases or embedding infrastructure for semantic search and retrieval.
  • Hands-on experience building and operating LLM-powered systems in production, including evaluation, validation, regression testing, tracing, and failure analysis.
  • Working knowledge of LangSmith or comparable LLM observability and evaluation tools; familiarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar model providers is a plus.
  • Ability to contribute across the full stack, with a strong understanding of frontend architecture and the ability to debug, design, and ship across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI systems.
  • Understanding of large-scale enterprise software systems, including architecture, integration, deployment, modernization, and long-term maintainability.
  • Proven track record of operating at Staff+, Principal Engineer, or equivalent level, independently driving complex technical initiatives and delivering high-impact outcomes with minimal supervision.
