Software Principal Engineer​/Web App Developer

Position: Software Principal Engineer / Web App Developer
Software Principal Engineer The Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC) Portal is the central platform our engineering organization uses to deliver software with AI agents as first-class team members. Engineers, architects and product managers use it to author and approve specifications, launch and monitor agent-driven implementation pipelines, enforce quality and governance gates, and trace every change from requirement to production with a full audit trail and delivery metrics.

We are a small, AI-native team operating like a startup inside Dell: high autonomy, weekly shipping, and humans and AI agents sharing the delivery work every day. We don't just use AI tools; we build the platform that governs how AI builds software.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound impact as a Software Principal Engineer on our AI Governance Engineering team in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. This is an onsite role.

What you'll achieve

As the senior hands-on engineer on the ADLC Portal, you will design and ship major subsystems end to end: front end, back-end services, and the data layer that stores specifications, artifacts, agent runs and their lineage. You will spend most of your time building (70%+), working alongside AI agents as part of your daily workflow, and setting the technical bar for the team.

Who We Are We believe that each of us has the power to make an impact. That’s why we put our team members at the center of everything we do. If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow your career with some of the best minds and most advanced tech in the industry, we’re looking for you.

You will:

Build and own major portal capabilities across the full stack, including React/Type Script user experiences on Next.js and Node.js/Type Script (or Python) services and APIs, from design through production operations

Design the data layer for versioned specifications, agent-run records, lineage and audit trails, choosing the right mix of relational (PostgreSQL), document, graph and vector storage and keeping queries fast and cost-efficient as data grows

Integrate AI agents and LLMs into the product: tool calling, agent orchestration, streaming agent output, retrieval (RAG) and MCP integrations, with evaluations and guardrails that make agent output trustworthy

Work AI-native every day: write specs that agents implement, review and correct agent-generated code and tests, and continuously improve how the team delivers with agents

Raise the engineering bar through code and design reviews, test-driven development, observability, CI/CD on Kubernetes, and mentoring engineers on the team

Our technology stack:

Front end:
React 19 and Type Script on Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Components, Server Actions), Tailwind CSS, Chart.js.

Back end:
Node.js / Type Script services and APIs with Zod schema validation, server-sent events for streaming agent output;
Python (e.g. FastAPI) services

Data:
PostgreSQL, plus caching and file-backed state stores, with a roadmap toward Redis, vector search (e.g. pgvector) and graph-based lineageAI and agents:
OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway, agent loops with tool calling, AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Devin, Copilot) and MCP integrations

Integrations and identity:
