The Role

We are seeking a Senior Principal Engineer to drive the architectural strategy and technical execution across our 80+ engineer Application Portfolio, encompassing all Web, Mobile, and Headless surfaces. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role where you will set the vision for our technology transformation, bridging the gap between deep frontend architecture and scalable, agentic API-first platforms. You will partner with Product leadership to drive customer-obsessed engineering, ensuring that our technical choices directly accelerate product velocity and user value.

Responsibilities

• Architectural Vision: Define and drive the technical strategy for the entire Applications Portfolio, establishing deep frontend architecture standards (Web, Mobile, Headless) to ensure consistency, scalability, and performance.
• Mentorship & Leadership: Act as a key mentor and coach to senior engineering talent, fostering a culture of technical excellence, high-impact decision-making, and proactive problem-solving.
• Product-Engineering Synergy: Collaborate deeply with Product leadership to drive roadmaps, ensuring engineering strategy is inherently aligned with customer needs and product evolution.
• Strategic Alignment: Facilitate alignment and clarity across teams regarding goals, outcomes, and timelines for complex, multi-team projects.
• Technology Transformation: Spearhead the evolution of our application architecture from a 'feature factory' model to a platform-driven system, modernizing API layers and integrating emerging standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable next-generation agentic workflows.
• Design Systems Partnership: Partner closely with design systems teams to ensure consistent and reusable components across surfaces.
