Principal Software Development Consultant

Urgent Requirement (Immediate Joiners preferred)

Principal Software Development Consultant (Cloud-Native & High-Performance Systems)

Location: Remote

Type: Full-time

Level: Principal Engineer / Consultant

Experience: 10+ years in software engineering, including recent hands-on experience

Role Summary

Principal Software Development Consultant

cloud-native applications

What Youll Do

cloud-native, scalable, and observable

• Write production-grade code in

  Rust

  (or other compiled languages like Go, C++, or Java with a performance focus)
• Lead by example: drive engineering practices through code reviews, prototyping, pair programming, and mentorship
• Tackle infrastructure challenges, containerized workloads, autoscaling setups, and deployment pipelines hands-on
• Translate high-level goals into practical implementation plans and technical executionnot just architectural slides
• Dig into performance tuning, low-level optimizations, and concurrency challenges when needed
• Collaborate directly with client engineering teams to ship maintainable, evolvable systems under real-world constraints

Requirements

• 10+ years

  of software development experience, with a focus on

  backend, systems, or platform engineering

• Demonstrated experience building

  cloud-native systems

  ideally with Kubernetes, containers, and distributed APIs
• Hands-on expertise in

  compiled languages

  , especially

  Rust

  (production experience preferred), and optionally Go, C++, or high-performance Java
• Deep comfort working with infrastructure (e.g., Linux internals, networking, observability tooling, deployment pipelines)
• Familiarity with modern cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), CI/CD systems, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Pulumi
• Track record of taking ownership of complex systems from design to deployment, often writing the core logic yourself
• Comfortable jumping into unfamiliar codebases and refactoring, debugging, or extending them confidently

Bonus Experience

• Experience with

  memory-safe systems

  , async runtimes (Tokio, etc.), and zero-cost abstractions
• Deep-dive performance work: profiling, instrumentation, low-latency systems
• Contributions to open-source projects, especially in Rust or infrastructure-related tooling
• Knowledge of advanced concurrency patterns, distributed coordination, or kernel-level programming

Mindset & Approach

• You’re a

  builder

  : you default to writing and improving code, not delegating the hard parts
• You lead through execution, mentorship, and technical clarity—not just process or policy
• You are

  technology-agnostic

  , but deeply curious and opinionated when needed
• You work well under ambiguity, enjoy solving hard technical problems, and are comfortable taking systems apart to understand how they really work
