Job Description

Principal Software Engineer – Platform Services

insightsoftware

• Own and evolve the platform's observability posture — structured logging, distributed tracing, health check endpoints, and correlation tracking — ensuring consistent adoption and coverage across all services. • Drive SLO/SLI definition and dashboard creation; expand alerting coverage from log-based alerts to include APM metrics, latency, and throughput. • Identify and eliminate reliability anti-patterns across the portfolio — replacing fragile legacy patterns with resilient, cloud-native alternatives. • Implement proper resilience patterns — circuit breakers, retry policies, graceful degradation, dead-letter handling, and idempotent message processing. • Replace legacy messaging anti-patterns (database polling, file-system coupling) with event-driven messaging infrastructure — this is the highest-impact reliability improvement available to the platform today. • Serve as the senior technical authority for the Platform Services portfolio — owning architecture, reliability, and engineering quality across a broad set of production services. • Assess the current state of the service portfolio, identify the highest-impact reliability and modernization opportunities, and build a sequenced roadmap in partnership with the Scalable Architecture Team and Engineering Manager. • Evaluate and recommend the right cloud-native Azure services and patterns for the platform's future state — this is an open architectural question you will help answer, not a predetermined path. • Own shared library and cross-cutting infrastructure used across the service portfolio; ensure consistent adoption of engineering standards across all services. • Ensure production stability across multiple independent deployment ecosystems throughout the modernization process. • Create and execute migration paths for legacy services across multiple .NET framework generations — prioritizing highest-risk services and sequencing work to minimize production disruption. • Partner with the Scalable Architecture Team to ensure modernization decisions align with the platform's long-term technical direction and emerging design patterns. • Evaluate and sequence modernization priorities across a diverse portfolio, balancing production stability with long-term architectural investment. • Write, review, and contribute production-quality code across the services portfolio — C#/.NET, Oracle SQL/PL/SQL, and cloud infrastructure patterns. • Debug complex issues that span service boundaries, database interactions, and cloud infrastructure. • Establish and enforce testing standards across the services portfolio — unit, integration, and resilience testing patterns. • Champion ≥50% AI-authored PR targets and ≥95% AI code review adoption as organizational minimums. • Model an agentic development mindset — integrating AI tooling into your own daily workflow and actively coaching teammates to do the same. • Push the team beyond baseline AI adoption into workflows and practices that measurably improve delivery velocity and platform quality. • Stay current on agentic development tooling and bring forward-looking recommendations to the Engineering Manager and Sr Director. • Set the technical bar for the team — establishing coding standards, architectural patterns, and engineering practices across a large, diverse service portfolio. • Mentor engineers on cloud-native patterns, observability best practices, resilience engineering, and .NET modernization. • Contribute to cross-team technical forums alongside Principal Engineers, the Solution Architect, and Engineering Managers.

Job Requirements

  • 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience in enterprise SaaS environments, with demonstrated experience as a Principal or Senior Principal Engineer.
  • Deep expertise in C# and .NET across framework generations — able to work fluently across legacy and modern .NET simultaneously, with a strong track record of migrating legacy services to modern .NET.
  • Hands-on Azure cloud architecture experience — with the ability to evaluate, recommend, and implement the right cloud-native services and patterns for a platform in active modernization.
  • Strong Oracle Database proficiency — complex SQL, stored procedures, and performance tuning at enterprise scale.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and implementing observability at scale — structured logging, distributed tracing, health check frameworks, and alerting strategies across large service portfolios.
  • Experience implementing resilience patterns — circuit breakers, retry policies, dead-letter handling, and idempotent message processing.
  • Experience replacing legacy messaging anti-patterns (database polling, file-system coupling) with event-driven messaging infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated experience owning and evolving shared internal library ecosystems that provide cross-cutting concerns across multiple services.
  • Experience re-platforming Windows Services or legacy hosted services to cloud-native or containerized workloads.
  • Demonstrated AI-first engineering mindset — hands-on experience with agentic development tooling and a track record of driving AI adoption within an engineering team.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.

Benefits

  • All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
  • Background checks are required for employment with insightsoftware, where permitted by country, state/province.
  • We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, national origin, gender, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital or parental status, disability, veteran status, or other class protected by applicable law.

Full TimeRemoteTeam 11-50

Role Description This is not a strategy role. It is not a coordination role. It is a get-in-and-do-it role for someone who wants real ownership, moves fast, and finds energy in problems that have never been solved before. You will own the important projects that currently have no clear owner. You will work directly with leadership on high-priority initiatives that are undefined by design, because they are new. Each project starts from scratch: new domain, new constraints, no template. You will figure out what the right question is, get smart fast, and drive it all the way to done. The best version of this person is someone who would rather build the map than wait for one. You do the research, write the recommendations, make the call, and keep moving. If you are looking for a role where you can put your head down and execute on work that matters, this is it. This role is best suited for those energized by fast-paced environments, excited to build in a high-growth setting, and deeply motivated by our mission. If you’re looking for meaningful challenges, dynamic work, and the opportunity to make a real impact — we’d love to meet you. Key Responsibilities - Own projects end-to-end. From scoping the actual problem to delivering a finished outcome. These initiatives are high-priority and undefined by design. - Do the work. Research new domains from scratch, structure the problem, produce real outputs: recommendations, plans, frameworks. Not summaries of what others should do. - Write clearly and drive alignment. Turn ambiguous situations into a point of view leadership can act on. Keep stakeholders informed and bring the right people in at the right time. - Make decisions and move. You will not have perfect information. You will make the call anyway and adjust as needed. - Work across functions. Operations, product, clinical, legal, finance. You go where the project needs you, not where the org chart points. - Drive multi-million dollar initiatives from concept through execution, staying accountable for outcomes at every stage. Qualifications - Doer first. You do not delegate the hard parts. You go deep, get your hands dirty, and produce work product others can act on. - Moves fast under uncertainty. Comfortable without a playbook. Makes good calls with incomplete information and adjusts quickly when things change. - Writes well. Clear, structured, direct. You can take a complex situation and turn it into something people can act on. - Strong judgment. Knows which details matter and which do not. Spends time accordingly. - High ownership. Full accountability for outcomes, not just effort. Takes initiative without being asked. - Mission-driven. Genuinely believes preventive healthcare is one of the most important problems to get right and wants their work to be part of making it real. Requirements - 7+ years of experience with a track record of owning hard, ambiguous problems and driving them to completion. - Has built something from scratch. A team, product, process, or business. Understands what zero-to-one actually requires. - Has managed complex, multi-stakeholder projects where they were the one holding the thread together. - Can point to specific examples of turning a vague, undefined problem into a clear path forward and then executing it. - Strong written communication. You can show your work, and it holds up. Benefits - Base Salary: $180,000 - $210,000 - Stock options - Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans for you and your family - Wellness and commuter benefits - Competitive vacation policy - A culture that emphasizes learning - Professional development budget for continued learning - Opportunity to directly impact our mission of saving lives through early cancer detection
