Job description

Software Principal Engineer

The Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC) Portal is the central platform our engineering organization uses to deliver software with AI agents as first-class team members. Engineers, architects and product managers use it to author and approve specifications, launch and monitor agent-driven implementation pipelines, enforce quality and governance gates, and trace every change from requirement to production with a full audit trail and delivery metrics. We are a small, AI-native team operating like a startup inside Dell: high autonomy, weekly shipping, and humans and AI agents sharing the delivery work every day. We don't just use AI tools; we build the platform that governs how AI builds software.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound impact as a Software Principal Engineer on our AI Governance Engineering team in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. This is an onsite role.

What you'll achieve

As the senior hands-on engineer on the ADLC Portal, you will design and ship major subsystems end to end: front end, back-end services, and the data layer that stores specifications, artifacts, agent runs and their lineage. You will spend most of your time building (70%+), working alongside AI agents as part of your daily workflow, and setting the technical bar for the team.
