Job summary

BambooHR seeks a Principal Architect for AI‑Native Developer Experience to lead the architecture for AI-enabled development across our platform.

You will write production code and reference implementations, mentor engineers, and help scale agentic workflows with autonomy levels and guardrails.

Qualifications

At least 10 years of software engineering experience, with at least 7 in software architecture or staff‑plus technical leadership.
Experience building production LLM systems, including tool calling, agent orchestration, context engineering, RAG, and evals.
Strong SaaS architecture fundamentals and fluency in our stack (PHP, React, MySQL).

Responsibilities

Define the technical vision, reference architecture, and incremental roadmap for AI‑native development, and document key decisions in ADRs.
Track emerging models, agents, and developer tools, run time‑boxed experiments and proofs of concept, and turn what works into supported patterns while retiring what does not.
Define how engineers work with coding agents (spec‑driven development, context engineering, review of agent‑generated code), build a shared library of skills, tools, and MCP servers, and evangelize these practices across engineering through demos, playbooks, and communities of practice.
