Job description

Description

We are looking for a Principal Software Development Engineer to lead our Enterprise Productivity organization's transformation to AI-native software development - redefining how 50+ services serving over a million employees are designed, built, tested, deployed, and maintained.

Enterprise Productivity powers how every employee at one of the world's largest technology companies creates, communicates, collaborates, and operates - from messaging and collaboration platforms serving hundreds of thousands of monthly active users, to email infrastructure protecting billions of messages annually, to content platforms hosting billions of documents, to SaaS governance spanning dozens of enterprise applications. Our engineers are already AI-augmented, yet end-to-end delivery velocity hasn't kept pace - because the lifecycle surrounding code (planning, specification, review, release, operations) remains traditionally bound. You will close this gap.

What You'll Do

You will solve four principal-level challenges that no single team can address alone:

1. AI Agent Governance at Enterprise Scale

2. Vendor API Reliability & Observability

3. Email Infrastructure Modernization

4. AI-Native SDLC Transformation

You will operate as 50% hands-on builder and 50% influencer - shipping production-grade systems while leading cross-team design reviews
