Principal Software Engineer providing technical leadership focusing on AI-driven development at OpsGuru. Involves modernization of technology estates and delivering business outcomes with generative AI tools.
Responsibilities
Strategic Modernization & Growth: Partner with customers to assess current technology estates.
Lead engineering efforts to refactor legacy systems and architect new features that drive measurable business outcomes and scalability.
Provide clarity and direction within ambiguous or evolving problem spaces.
Spec-Driven Development (SDD): Lead a "spec-first" or "spec-as-source" methodology using Generative AI.
Create structured, behavior-oriented specifications (requirements and designs) that serve as the primary source of truth, guiding AI agents to generate, verify, and maintain implementation code.
Ensure that generated code, tests, and documentation align with the spec and architectural standards.
Translate complex business requirements into technical specifications that AI agents and engineering teams use as the foundation for development.
Review implementations to ensure alignment with patterns, performance, and security expectations.
AI-Assisted Engineering: Integrate AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Speckit into development workflows.
Evolve engineering practices from manual coding to auditing, validating and refining AI-generated solutions based on rigorous specifications.
Establish repeatable AI-driven development patterns.
Polyglot Development: Evaluate and implement production-grade code across multiple languages and paradigms (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java) based on specific problem domains.
Ramp quickly into unfamiliar stacks or codebases to provide clarity and direction.
Technology Evaluation: Rapidly assess new technologies, frameworks, and patterns to determine viability and production readiness.
Make informed recommendations balancing performance, maintainability, and team skill sets.
Mentorship: Raise and maintain the engineering bar through code reviews, architectural designs, and mentoring other engineers on the team.
Help engineers adopt SDD, AI-assisted workflows, and modern architectural practices.
Requirements
10+ Years of Experience: Proven experience as a Senior/Principal Engineer or Software Architect delivering complex distributed systems.
Full Stack Mastery: Deep expertise in both frontend and backend development.
Frontend: Advanced proficiency with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte), state management, and modern CSS workflows (Tailwind, CSS-in-JS).
Backend: Robust experience designing APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) and server-side architecture using languages such as Node.js, Go, or Python.
Polyglot Proficiency: Proficiency in at least three distinct programming languages (e.g. TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java).
Generative AI & SDD Experience: Experience utilizing Spec-Driven Development tools and workflows where specifications (natural language or structured docs) drive AI code generation.
Business-Aligned Engineering: Demonstrated ability to align technical refactoring and feature development with customer business goals and growth metrics.
Rapid Skill Acquisition: Ability to quickly acquire proficiency in unknown codebases or new languages.
System Design: Knowledge of microservices, event-driven architecture, cloud-native patterns (Kubernetes, Docker), and database internals (SQL & NoSQL).
