Principal Engineer - Platform
Neko Health, New York
What you need
- You have designed and built platforms or core infrastructure that other engineers relied on every day, and you wrote a meaningful part of the code yourself
- Deep backend and distributed systems experience in production, with the judgement to make architecture calls in a large, existing codebase
- Your own engineering is AI-first: you use agents for work you used to do by hand, and can explain where they help, where they fail, and what changed in speed and quality
- You take a clear position on hard technical questions with incomplete information, defend it with reasons, and change it when the evidence changes
- Engineers outside your own team changed how they work because of something you built and the technical case you made for it
- Able to work from our London, New York or Stockholm office
Nice to have
- Experience with durable workflow orchestration, for example Temporal or Azure Durable Functions, and a clear view on when it is worth it, since long-running agent work has to survive failure
