Principal Software Engineer (m/f/d)

1 Principal Software Engineer (m/f/d)

As Principal Software Engineer, you are a senior individual contributor who leads through technical authority and influence rather than line management. You take responsibility for complex technical topics and architectural decisions across teams, services and organization boundaries, drive them largely autonomously, and align both engineering teams and business stakeholders behind a clear technical direction.

What you'll do

• Play a leading role in the design and delivery of significant technical initiatives across the Licensing organization and beyond, not just within a single team.
• Drive complex, ambiguous technical problems to a solution and bring teams along with you.
• Set technical direction across teams and the wider organization, and align both technical peers and business stakeholders behind it.
• Set how AI is used across the delivery lifecycle, not only in coding: requirements and design, agent-assisted review and testing, and operations, and raise the team's AI-native maturity over time.
• Build the tooling, guardrails, and practices that let engineers delegate real work to agents and trust the result, with judgment and review as the bar.
• Evaluate and introduce new technologies and practices that improve our systems and ways of working.
• Raise cross-team productivity by improving delivery, collaboration, and communication, and by establishing and embedding engineering best practices.
