Resumo da vaga

Aperia Solutions in Dallas, TX is seeking a Principal Engineer and Technical Lead to drive heavy technical lifting across cloud platforms. You will translate architecture into production code in C#/.NET and Python, mentor teams, and own critical design decisions.

You’ll work on Azure-based multi-tenant SaaS with Fabric, AKS, and data services, shaping architecture, writing ADRs, and delivering high-integrity systems while reporting to the SVP of Technology.

Qualificações

• 12+ years in software engineering, including 5+ years as a lead or principal engineer shipping production cloud systems.
• 4+ years building and operating containerized workloads on Kubernetes in production, preferably AKS.
• Deep, current hands-on Azure experience: you have personally built, deployed and debugged the services you work with.
• Code you can show: substantial, active C#/.NET and Python work in the last 12 months, not just reviews. You are still one of the strongest individual contributors on any team you join.
• Deep, applied command of enterprise design patterns (messaging, resilience, integration, multi-tenancy); you can explain their failure modes because you have hit them in production.
• Track record of taking a novel concept from whiteboard to working POC in weeks, then building or leading the first production slice.
• Working architecture depth across operational and analytical data stores, including event-driven and streaming implementations.
• Fluency with IaC and CI/CD; you write the Terraform and the pipeline, not just the diagram.
• Security-first implementation in a regulated environment (PCI DSS, SOC 2, or financial services equivalent).
• Proven ability to lead distributed and offshore teams through design and code reviews without direct authority.
• Clear written communication: ADRs, design docs and status summaries that stand on their own.

Responsabilidades

• Hands-on prototypes and heavy lifting (≈50%) — build working prototypes and POCs for advanced concepts to retire technical risk before teams commit.
• Own the hardest technical slices end to end: write and ship production-quality C#/.NET and Python, debug production issues, and unblock teams by doing the work.
• Implement enterprise design patterns in real code: event-driven and messaging, CQRS, resilience, multi-tenant isolation.
• Author and review IaC (Terraform/Bicep), Helm charts and CI/CD pipelines; build the golden-path templates teams adopt.
• Benchmark and load test candidate designs; bring numbers, not opinions, to technical decisions.
• Take on heavy-lift tasks directly from the SVP: technical spikes, vendor evaluations, migration tooling, and cost investigations.
• Turn target-state architectures into implementation designs across AKS, Fabric, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, and related services.
• Write ADRs and design docs; contribute to architecture reviews and threat models with implementation detail.
• Mentor senior engineers and tech leads; raise the bar on implementation quality, testing and observability.
• Translate implementation status and risk into concise options for technology leadership, and work with security, product and vendors.
