Principal Software Engineer at Amgen transforming lives by developing software solutions. Leading projects in biotechnology with focus on cloud technology and generative AI.
About the role
- Principal Engineer leading the technical direction at Terrific, a social commerce platform. Building AI-powered, real-time shopping experiences with a modern tech stack.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end architecture of the Terrific platform across backend, frontend, data, AI, and real-time systems.
- Drive engineering standards - code quality, testing, observability, security, and operational excellence - and raise the bar across the team.
- Mentor engineers; grow the technical depth of the organization.
- Design and implement new services and features end-to-end, from database to UI, with high performance and responsiveness.
- Build rapid prototype features A to Z.
- Tackle the highest-risk, highest-impact problems personally - live video reliability, real-time engagement, commerce integrations, and AI-powered experiences.
- Evolve our stack thoughtfully: React, Angular, Node.js, TypeScript, GCP, Firebase, Firestore, Cloud Functions, BigQuery, and Pub/Sub.
- Architect for global, 24/7 live operation — uptime, latency, cost, and graceful degradation during peak live events.
- Build for B2B2C scale: systems that serve enterprise customers (brands, retailers, broadcasters) and their consumer audiences across multiple regions and languages.
- Partner with Product and Data on experimentation infrastructure so every meaningful change can be A/B tested and measured.
- Partner with Product and Design from concept through launch, taking full ownership in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- Represent engineering with strategic customers and partners on deep technical topics; translate customer reality into architectural decisions.
- Make the whole team better - through design reviews, technical writing, mentorship, and hiring.
Requirements
- 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a track record of leading at staff/principal level at high-scale products(!).
- Expert-level Node.js and TypeScript; strong frontend experience in React and/or Angular (both a significant plus).
- Deep experience designing and operating distributed, real-time systems in production, 24/7, under load.
- Strong data engineering instincts: SQL/NoSQL, event-driven architectures, and analytical stores (BigQuery or equivalent).
- Hands-on experience building or shipping AI/ML-powered features in production - personalization, recommendations, search, or generative AI.
- Experience on GCP (Firebase, Cloud Functions, Firestore, Realtime Database, Pub/Sub) is a strong advantage.
- Experience with commerce platforms such as Shopify or WooCommerce, and/or live video/streaming infrastructure, is a plus.
- Excellent judgment on trade-offs between scope, speed, performance, and UX; strong product intuition.
- Clear, calm communicator: writes well, pushes back thoughtfully, and makes the people around them more effective.
Benefits
- Principal-level ownership of the platform that defines live, shoppable media.
- Real, global scale — top brands, retailers, and broadcasters, running 24/7 across LatAm, Europe, and Israel.
- A modern stack (Node.js, TypeScript, React, Angular, GCP, Firebase, BigQuery, Pub/Sub) with the autonomy to evolve it.
- A tight, senior team where product, design, data, and engineering ship together
