Principal Full-Stack Engineer — Customer Success & Support

Why this role

Build and operate end-to-end systems that power myF5, case management, knowledge, and agent tooling.

What you’ll own

• Architect and ship full-stack solutions (React/Next.js + TypeScript frontends; Node/Python/Go/Java backends) and production APIs.

• Design cloud architectures on public cloud: managed DBs, object storage, networking, IAM, and secure service-to-service patterns.

• Build data platforms: relational + NoSQL, caching, search, event streams, and object storage; enable vector/semantic stores for AI.

• Own CI/CD and IaC (Terraform / ARM / Bicep, GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps / Jenkins); containerize and run on Kubernetes (AKS/EKS).

• Instrument observability and SLAs (metrics, tracing, logging); ensure operational excellence and security/compliance.

• Integrate with enterprise platforms (Salesforce, Coveo/search, identity providers) and partner with Product, Support Ops, Security, and ML teams.

• Mentor engineers and introduce standards, templates, and automation to scale delivery.

• Hands-on CI/CD and IaC (Terraform / ARM / Bicep; GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps / Jenkins).

• Containerization & orchestration: Docker + Kubernetes (AKS/EKS).

• Data platform familiarity: caching (Redis), search (Elasticsearch/Coveo), eventing (Kafka/Kinesis), object storage.

• Strong observability, security, and production-ops experience.

• Excellent communicator who translates product/customer needs into robust technical solutions.

• Leverages AI tools to boost team productivity — uses AI-assisted development and automation to create multiplier effects across the org.

• Built predictive & generative AI apps in production and can guide product requirements to embed AI features (RAG, embeddings/vector stores, predictive pipelines) into workflows.

• BS/MS in CS or equivalent experience.

Nice to have
