This is a true “hands-on principal” role. You’re not just advising, you’re building, scaling, and setting the technical direction for platform services that run 24/7 for legal customers worldwide. If you like big systems, real ownership, and a stack that’s heavy on C#/.NET, Kafka, and AWS, this one’s built for you.

⦁ Drive global scale initiatives across multi-region environments with regional storage options
⦁ Build content enrichment pipelines at massive scale (OCR, entity extraction, AI-driven enrichment)
⦁ Make architecture decisions balancing performance, security, cost, maintainability, and uptime
⦁ Own initiatives from concept through production with strong operational accountability

⦁ 5+ years in technical leadership roles with multi-team influence
⦁ Deep professional experience with C#/.NET
⦁ Strong background in distributed systems and microservices at scale

⦁ Event-driven architecture and message streaming experience
⦁ API design expertise, security best practices, and performance optimization

Quick gut-check: this role will absolutely expose you if you’re not used to platform-level ownership. The travel cadence is also real. But if you’ve been waiting for a principal role where you can actually leave fingerprints on architecture and still code daily, this is the good kind of pressure.
Happy Hunting,
