Principal Engineer - Platform Architecture & Transformation

Conexiom is transforming how manufacturers and distributors process critical business documents. Our AI‑powered platform automates the conversion of unstructured orders and other commercial documents into accurate, validated, ERP‑ready transactions.

Today, Conexiom processes more than one billion order line items annually and combines advanced AI, deterministic validation, deep ERP integrations, and enterprise‑grade automation to help customers eliminate manual work and improve customer experiences.

Accelerate Platform Unification

• Help evolve Conexiom toward a unified platform architecture.
• Drive modernization initiatives around containerization, service boundaries, shared platform capabilities, developer tooling, and common services.
• Improve consistency across user experiences, integrations, APIs, observability, and operational workflows.

Champion Engineering Excellence

• Mentor senior engineers, staff engineers, architects, and engineering leaders.
• Raise the technical bar across the organization through coaching, reviews, and standards.

Enable Business Growth

• Collaborate directly with customers, partners, and strategic prospects on architecture discussions.
• Support enterprise‑scale integrations with ERP, CRM, eCommerce, and partner ecosystems.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and lead proof‑of‑concepts where appropriate.
• Balance innovation with practical business outcomes.

Within your first 12–18 months you will:

• Establish a clear architectural north star for the company.
• Accelerate migration toward a modern cloud‑native platform.
• Improve engineering velocity through platform simplification and developer enablement.
• Increase platform scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Help position Conexiom as the leading AI‑powered commerce automation platform in the industry.
• Develop the next generation of technical leaders across the engineering organization.

• 15+ years of software engineering experience building large‑scale SaaS platforms.
• 5+ years operating at Staff, Principal, Distinguished Engineer, or equivalent architecture leadership level.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, platform architecture, cloud‑native development, and software modernization.
