Principal Engineer

This position drives solutions, framework, roadmap, program optimization and process engineering in a high-velocity culture by introducing technology, requirements, deliverables, gaps and systems design. Analyzes competitive strategies, infrastructure technologies, metrics models, and performance indicators.

• Evaluate existing system architectures and identify critical failure points.
• Define and document comprehensive resiliency engineering principles and practices tailored to our environment.
• Identify and implement toolsfor monitoring, alerting, chaos engineering, and automated recovery.
• Analyze current ITSM workflows (e.g., incident, change, problem) and identify high-impact automation opportunities.
• Architect and develop automation solutions leveraging existing ITSM tools and integrating with other systems.
• Deploy and integrate automated workflows, ensuring seamless dataflow and reporting.
• Establish metrics to track the effectiveness of implemented automation.
• Partner with Enterprise Dev Ops, Integration Platform Dev Ops, other Dev Ops teams to review existing CI/CD pipelines, identify bottlenecks, and areasfor improvement.
• Define a comprehensive automation strategy encompassing build, test (unit, integration, B2B), security scanning, and deployment processes to improve production and system resiliency.
• Evaluate and implement best-in-class automation tools and integrate them into a cohesive pipeline. Enable developers with self-service capabilities for environment provisioning and deployment through automation.
• Define standard operating environments and infrastructure configurations with assigned release windows. Implement an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) framework using tools like Terraform or Ansible by partnering multiple teams including Cloud Architecture.
• Advise building automated pipelines for provisioning, configuring, patching, and deploying infrastructure components.
• Implement automated testing and rollback mechanisms for infrastructure changes.
• Leads the design, development, enhancement and maintenance of tools, systems and software solutions.
• Designs, architects, develops, integrates, and tests systems, solutions or products.
• Performs incident triage, including determining scope, urgency, and potential impact.
• Leads technology evaluations and re-engineering activities to support strategy definition and continuous improvement activities.
• Leads the identification, design and implementation of automated solutions to enable development needs.
• Transforms business requirements into technical specifications.
• Accountable for stakeholder engagement/management to understand internal processes and identify potential hard or soft gaps between capabilities and business requirements or expectations.
• Manages relationships with stakeholders to enable cross functional coordination and ensure a partnership focused approach is taken to align product and system releases and roadmaps to technology policies and standards and ensure all exceptions or gaps in capabilities or coverage in systems are managed with a risk based approach that balances services priorities with business needs.

• Expertise in designing fault-tolerant architectures with automated failover, multi-region redundancy, and graceful degradation strategies enabled by Chaos engineering.
• Deep understanding of complex distributed systems, including microservices orchestration, service meshes, and eventual consistency models.
• Demonstrated experience providing customer-driven solutions, support or service.
• Extensive knowledge and understanding of software engineering architectures, system/software designs, and system deployments.
• Demonstrated experience in multiple IT subject areas (e.g. development, testing, configuration, deployment, monitoring etc.)
• Extensive knowledge and understanding of infrastructure technologies and application development methodologies.
• Demonstrated experience leading System Administration (configuration, installations, patch management, server maintenance, etc.) and Network Management (firewalls, proxies, IP management, routing, DNS).
• Demonstrated experience leading the…
