Java Developer

Bidgely is seeking an outstanding and deeply technical Principal Engineer / Sr. Principal Engineer / Architect to lead the architecture and evolution of our next-generation data and platform infrastructure. This is a senior IC role for someone who loves solving complex problems at scale, thrives in high-ownership environments, and influences engineering direction across teams.

You will be instrumental in designing scalable and resilient platform components that can handle trillions of data points, integrate machine learning pipelines, and support advanced energy analytics. As we evolve our systems for the future of clean energy, you will play a critical role in shaping the platform that powers all Bidgely products.

Responsibilities

• Architect & Design: Lead the end-to-end architecture of core platform components – from ingestion pipelines to ML orchestration and serving layers. Architect for scale (200Bn+ daily data points), performance, and flexibility.
• Technical Leadership: Act as a thought leader and trusted advisor for engineering teams. Review designs, guide critical decisions, and set high standards for software engineering excellence.
• Platform Evolution: Define and evolve the platform’s vision, making key choices in data processing, storage, orchestration, and cloud-native patterns.
• Mentorship: Coach senior engineers and staff on architecture, engineering best practices, and system thinking. Foster a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
• Innovation & Research: Evaluate and experiment with emerging technologies (e.g., event-driven architectures, AI infrastructure, new cloud-native tools) to stay ahead of the curve.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Data Scientists to align platform capabilities with product needs.
• Non-functional Leadership: Ensure systems are secure, observable, resilient, performant, and cost-efficient. Drive excellence in areas like compliance, DevSecOps, and cloud cost optimization.
• GenAI Integration: Explore and drive adoption of Generative AI to enhance developer productivity, platform intelligence, and automation of repetitive engineering tasks.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in backend/platform architecture roles, ideally with experience at scale.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, data engineering stacks (Kafka, Spark, HDFS, NoSQL DBs like Cassandra/ElasticSearch), and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Proven ability to architect high-throughput, low-latency systems with batch + real-time processing.
• Experience designing and implementing DAG-based data processing and orchestration systems.
• Proficient in Java (Spring Boot, REST), and comfortable with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices.
• Strong understanding of non-functional areas: security, scalability, observability, and
• compliance.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and a data-driven approach to decision-making.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Prior experience working in a SaaS environment is a strong plus.
• Experience with GenAI tools or frameworks (e.g., LLMs, embedding models, prompt engineering, RAG, Copilot-like integrations) to accelerate engineering workflows or enhance platform intelligence is highly desirable.

• Understanding of AI/ML algorithms is a plus.

About the Role

If you are interested in developing the future architecture of Uber's Rider stack by building its core building blocks, join the Rider Backend Platform team. We build backend architectural components and frameworks comprising of services, libraries, state storage and other building blocks that aim to optimise the core Rider flow and foundational features that are shared among all rider products, including but not limited to, Uber Rider app, UberLite, m.uber.com, etc.

What You'll Do

• Work with Rider product engineering teams to identify, design and build solutions that help scale Rider services and platforms.
• Drive adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability
• Analyze and decompose complex software systems and collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence design for scalability and testability
• Work with smart and motivated teammates in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Build elegant backend platform components for high throughput and low latency distributed systems.
• Solve challenging problems with cutting edge design and algorithms.

What You'll Need

• 4+ years Strong meaningful Individual contributor experience as a software engineer
• Design: Knowledge of data structures and an eye for design. You can discuss the tradeoff between design choices, both on a theoretical level and on an applied level.
• Strong coding/debugging abilities: You have advanced knowledge of at least one programming language, and are happy to learn more. Our core languages are Go and Java.
• Fast learner: We're looking for software engineers who thrive on learning new technologies and don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. You should be able to adapt easily to meet the needs of our massive growth and rapidly evolving business environment.
• A team player: You believe that you can achieve more on a team -- that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You rely on others' candid feedback for continuous improvement.

• Business acumen: You understand requirements beyond the written word. Whether you're working on an API used by other developers, an internal tool consumed by our operation teams, or a feature used by millions of customers, your attention to details leads to a delightful user experience.
