Principal Engineer/Architect

• Architect & Design: Lead the end-to-end architecture of core platform components – from ingestion pipelines to ML orchestration and serving layers. Architect for scale (200Bn+ daily data points), performance, and flexibility.
• Technical Leadership: Act as a thought leader and trusted advisor for engineering teams. Review designs, guide critical decisions, and set high standards for software engineering excellence.
• Platform Evolution: Define and evolve the platform’s vision, making key choices in data processing, storage, orchestration, and cloud-native patterns.
• Mentorship: Coach senior engineers and staff on architecture, engineering best practices, and system thinking. Foster a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.

This role advances clean energy solutions by designing scalable platform infrastructure that powers data-driven energy analytics for smart meters, solar PVs, electric vehicles, and grid optimization, contributing to a sustainable energy future.

• 9+ years of experience in backend/platform architecture roles, ideally with experience at scale.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, data engineering stacks (Kafka, Spark, HDFS, NoSQL DBs like Cassandra/ElasticSearch), and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Proven ability to architect high-throughput, low-latency systems with batch + real-time processing. Experience designing and implementing DAG-based data processing and orchestration systems.
• Proficient in Java (Spring Boot, REST), and comfortable with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices. Strong understanding of non-functional areas: security, scalability, observability, and compliance.
