Senior Software Engineer-I

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.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design, develop, and maintain Java-based applications using Java SE/EE.

- Implement, test, and deploy microservices and RESTful APIs using Spring Boot and related technologies.
