Required Principal Engineer
As a Principal Engineer within our Business Applications domain, you are a senior technical authority responsible for shaping the long‑term architecture, engineering standards, and modernization strategy of mission‑critical financial systems.
Reporting to the Domain Architect, you will operate at a domain‑wide and cross‑domain level, driving architectural decisions, influencing multiple teams, and ensuring that our cloud‑native transformation is scalable, secure, and sustainable.
This role is ideal for a highly experienced engineer who combines deep hands‑on expertise with strategic architectural thinking, thrives in ambiguous problem spaces, and is motivated by solving complex, systemic challenges at scale.
What Youll Do:
Own Domain‑Level Architecture & Technical Direction
Define and evolve the target architecture for the Business Applications domain, ensuring alignment with our cloud, security, and platform strategies.
Act as a technical decision‑maker for high‑impact initiatives, reviewing and influencing designs across multiple teams and services.
Identify architectural risks, systemic bottlenecks, and long‑term scalability concerns-and proactively drive solutions.
Drive Large‑Scale Cloud & Legacy Modernization:
Lead complex, multi‑year modernization efforts, including decomposition of monoliths, domain realignment, and migration of critical systems to cloud‑native architectures.
Set principles and reference patterns for event‑driven systems, APIs, data flows, resiliency, and backward compatibility.
Partner with architects, SRE, security, and platform teams to ensure solutions meet reliability, compliance, and performance requirements.
Set Engineering Excellence Standards:
Define and champion engineering best practices across backend development, DevOps, observability, security, and SDLC processes.
Raise the technical bar through design reviews, architectural forums, and mentorship of Tech Leads and senior engineers.
Influence our Shift Left culture by embedding quality, security, and operability into design and development from day one.
Provide Strategic Hands‑On Leadership:
Stay hands‑on in critical paths: complex designs, proof‑of‑concepts, high‑risk changes, and foundational services.
Guide teams through technically challenging decisions without becoming a delivery bottleneck.
Serve as a trusted escalation point for complex production or architectural issues.
Influence Across the Organization:
Collaborate closely with Product, Architecture, SRE, Security, Data, and Business stakeholders to ensure technical solutions deliver real business impact.
דרישות:
System‑Level Thinking:
Exceptional ability to reason about large, distributed systems, understand second‑ and third‑order effects, and make trade‑offs that balance speed, quality, and sustainability.
Technical Authority & Influence:
Recognized ability to influence technical direction across teams through expertise, clarity, and credibility-without relying on formal authority.
Cloud & Distributed Systems Mastery:
Deep experience designing and operating large‑scale, cloud‑native systems (AWS strongly preferred), including networking, security, resiliency, and cost optimization.
Backend & Platform Engineering Excellence:
Expert‑level backend engineering skills, with hands‑on experience in multiple stacks and paradigms. Experience with Node.js is an advantage due to its significant footprint within Business Applications.
DevOps, Reliability & Security Mindset:
Strong background in CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure‑as‑code, observability, and production operations. Proven experience embedding security and reliability into system design.
