Job Details

10+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Substantial experience at Staff, Principal, or equivalent technical leadership level.
Direct experience building, operating, or modernizing Fulfillment systems, such as entitlements, licensing, provisioning, subscription lifecycle, seat management, usage metering, usage billing, or cost controls.
Track record of setting technical direction across multiple teams and turning architecture into reliable, operated systems.
Deep experience with distributed systems, scalability, availability, performance, observability, data integrity, and failure-mode analysis.
Comfort working in one or more of Ruby, Go, and Python, and navigating Backend and Frontend in a polyglot system.
Practical experience using AI in software engineering, including agentic coding or AI-assisted development workflows.
Demonstrated success modernizing mature or degraded platforms without a risky “big bang” rewrite.
Experience designing systems that span multiple deployment models, such as SaaS, Self-Managed, Dedicated, or disconnected environments.
Strong product and business judgment connecting technical investment to customer experience, revenue, operational efficiency, risk reduction, and time to market.
Excellent written communication and ability to influence senior stakeholders across teams without formal authority.

Define and communicate Fulfillment’s long-term architecture and technical strategy, including target state, principles, priorities, and migration sequencing.
Assess the current platform and address risks across scale, reliability, performance, data correctness, operability, and maintainability.
Drive architectural decisions across entitlements, provisioning, seat management, usage visibility, and cost management.
Establish service boundaries, data ownership, contracts, and integration patterns across Fulfillment, Monetization, billing, Salesforce, and product services.
Lead incremental modernization while continuing to deliver customer and business value.
Partner with Engineering Managers, Product Management, and cross-functional stakeholders to turn architectural direction into roadmaps and shipped outcomes.
Work hands-on on prototypes, critical implementations, migrations, performance improvements, reliability work, and incident learning.
Champion responsible AI adoption, including agentic coding and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
Mentor and coach Senior and Staff Engineers and raise the quality of technical decision-making.
