Principal Engineer Cloud Compute

Posting TypeHybridJob OverviewHere at Relativity we prioritize flexibility and work-life harmony. Our Hybrid work environment provides options tailored to your role and location, aiming to enhance engagement, connectivity, and productivity.Join us to experience a culture of collaboration and innovation, where connecting in-person adds value to our collective growth. Let's work together!As a Principal Software Engineer on the Compute team within the Infrastructure Services group, you will be the strategic and technical authority responsible for defining the future of compute infrastructure in RelativityOne. You will architect unified execution models for microservices, batch jobs, streaming pipelines, and long-running workflows—leveraging Azure-native technologies such as AKS (Kubernetes), KEDA, Temporal, and Apache Spark. You will shape cross-cutting platform architecture, influencing compute, storage, observability, and developer experience. Partnering with engineering leadership and platform stakeholders, you’ll drive Relativity’s transition toward cloud-native, scalable, and developer-optimized compute platforms that power a wide range of use cases across the company.Job Description and Requirements Job Responsibilities:Define and evolve the technical strategy for Relativity’s compute platform, enabling scale, elasticity, and resilience across all workload typesArchitect foundational cloud-native execution layers supporting long-running workflows, real-time stream processing, and large-scale batch jobsDrive platform-wide adoption of Kubernetes, KEDA, and Temporal for robust and observable orchestration of compute workloadsIntegrate modern data processing technologies like Apache Spark, Azure Stream Analytics, and event-driven patterns across product servicesLead multi-team initiatives to decouple legacy workloads into scalable microservices, containers, or serverless computePartner with product and platform architects to align compute platform direction with customer, compliance, and reliability goalsMentor Staff and Lead Engineers across the company on scalable system design, cloud-native operations, and compute strategiesActively contribute to architecture reviews, RFCs, design governance, and strategic planning cyclesChampion platform quality, security, and developer experience as first-class goalsMinimum Qualifications:10+ years of experience in software, platform, or infrastructure engineering roles, with demonstrated architectural leadershipProven success designing and operating large-scale Kubernetes-based compute infrastructure in productionStrong experience with orchestration frameworks such as KEDA, Temporal, or similar job/workflow enginesHands-on experience with batch (e.g., Apache Spark) and streaming systems (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Azure Event Hubs)Fluency in multiple programming languages (e.g., Go, Python, C#, Rust) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi)Deep understanding of workload autoscaling, distributed system patterns, and compute security best practicesExperience collaborating across multiple engineering teams and influencing broad platform strategyPreferred Qualifications:Experience building internal compute platforms or "platform-as-a-product" offeringsKnowledge of serverless platforms such as Azure Functions or Azure Container AppsFamiliarity with Dapr, KEDA Scalers, and emerging workload runtime frameworks (e.g., Wasm, Nomad, OpenFaaS)Prior contributions to open-source cloud-native or CNCF projectsExperience designing systems with multi-region, multi-tenancy, or zero-downtime execution requirementsLeadership Expectations:Set the long-term vision for compute infrastructure at Relativity, aligning technical direction with business growthInfluence engineering and product teams through clear communication, architectural guidance, and technical credibilityLead complex cross-functional efforts that span compute, data, security, and reliabilityCreate a culture of engineering excellence, experimentation, and continuous improvementMentor senior technical talent and foster a platform-minded, service-oriented engineering cultureCompetencies and Skills:Architectural Vision – Ability to define and communicate the long-term compute strategy that supports diverse workload needsTechnical Leadership – Deep technical authority that guides teams, resolves ambiguity, and de-risks large initiativesCross-Functional Influence – Works effectively with leaders across platform, product, and infrastructure groupsCloud-Native Execution – Expert in modern compute orchestration, scaling, and event-driven workloads on AzureInnovation and Pragmatism – Balances cutting-edge solutions with production-ready practices and customer needsBenefit Highlights:Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plansParental leave for primary and secondary caregiversFlexible work arrangementsTwo, week-long company breaks per yearUnlimited time offLong-term incentive programTraining investment programAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, disability or protected veteran status, or any other legally protected basis, in accordance with applicable law.Relativity is committed to competitive, fair, and equitable compensation practices.This position is eligible for total compensation which includes a competitive base salary, an annual performance bonus, and long-term incentives. The expected salary range for this role is betweenfollowing values:394,000 and 592,000PLNThe final offered salary will be based on several factors, including but not limited to the candidate's depth of experience, skill set, qualifications, and internal pay equity. Hiring at the top end of the range would not be typical, to allow for future meaningful salary growth in this position. Originally posted on Himalayas
