Own the technical direction of Apollo's most critical and most ambiguous problems, across team and organizational boundaries

Make the architectural bets that shape the product and platform over multiple years, and be accountable for how they play out

Set the technical strategy for the rebuild around AI and agents, and turn it into direction teams can execute

Raise the engineering bar across the whole organization through the standards, patterns, and decisions you drive

Multiply the output of engineers and teams far beyond your own code, through design, review, and mentorship of our most senior engineers

Partner with engineering and product leadership as a peer on where the technology needs to go.

How we work: AI-native by default

You set the standard for what AI-native engineering looks like at the highest level. You use agents to move faster on the hardest design, investigation, and implementation work, you define the practices other engineers adopt, and you find the step-change bets where AI reshapes how we build the product, not just how fast we ship.

What we are looking for

A track record of setting technical direction that shaped a product or platform across an entire engineering organization

Depth across distributed systems and architecture, and command of the reliability, scale, and cost tradeoffs behind company-defining decisions

The judgment to make the hardest calls under ambiguity, and the influence to align many teams behind them

Principal Software Engineer (Hybrid, San Francisco)
