Principal Engineer- Platform Integrations

Job Description As a Principal Software Engineer on the Platform Integrations team, you will serve as the senior technical authority for the integration backbone of the Certent Equity Management (CEM) platformu2014the suite of services responsible for moving data in and out of the system across fileu2011based transfers, REST APIs, broker interfaces, and partner integrations. You will lead one of two Platform Integrations teams, partnering closely with a peer Principal Engineer who leads the second team. Both Principal Engineers report to a shared Engineering Manager and jointly own the integration platform across multiple independent production ecosystems. This is a pure individual contributor role. Your responsibilities center on writing highu2011quality code, making sound architectural decisions, and elevating the technical quality of everything your team touches. You will be the primary technical authority for a set of missionu2011critical services that handle financial data, where correctness and reliability are nonu2011negotiable. The integration platform is at an active modernization inflection point. You will drive the migration of business logic out of legacy systems and into modern, maintainable .NET services while maintaining production stability across multiple client ecosystems simultaneously. The ideal candidate views legacy modernization not as a burden, but as some of the most technically interesting and impactful work in the organization. You are expected to bring an AIu2011first mindset by genuinely integrating agentic development tooling into your daily workflow and setting the standard for your team.

Handsu2011On Engineering u2003u2022 Write, review, and contribute productionu2011quality code across the integration stack, including C#/.NET 8, Oracle SQL and PL/SQL, REST API design, file processing pipelines, and background job frameworks. u2003u2022 Debug complex production issues that span both C#/.NET and Oracle PL/SQL layers. u2003u2022 Design and optimize complex Oracle SQL, including multiu2011join queries, stored procedures, execution plan analysis, indexing strategies, and readu2011optimization patterns for highu2011volume data operations. u2003u2022 Implement and enhance observability across integration services using structured logging, distributed tracing, health checks, and operational alerting for data pipeline failures. u2003u2022 Establish and enforce testing standards across the integration platform, including unit tests, integration tests, and contract tests for broker interfaces. AIu2011First Engineering u2003u2022 Champion organizational minimums of at least 50 percent AIu2011authored pull requests and 95 percent AIu2011assisted code review adoption. u2003u2022 Model an agentic development mindset by integrating AI tooling into daily engineering workflows and coaching others to do the same. u2003u2022 Extend AI usage beyond baseline adoption to workflows that measurably improve delivery velocity and integration quality. Technical Leadership and Mentorship u2003u2022 Set the technical bar for the team by establishing coding standards, architectural patterns, and engineering practices. u2003u2022 Mentor engineers who may be less familiar with Oracle, financial domain concepts, or integration patterns through code reviews, pair programming, and design sessions. u2003u2022 Partner with the peer Principal Engineer to align on technical direction and maintain consistent patterns across both Platform Integrations teams. u2003u2022 Interface with client stakeholders as needed for requirements clarification, integration design discussions, and issue resolution. u2003u2022 Contribute to crossu2011team technical forums alongside Principal Engineers, the Solution Architect, and Engineering Managers.
