We’re looking for a Principal Engineer to join Procore’s Runtime Platform team. Procore’s platform is critical to delivering secure, stable, and compliant SaaS solutions. The Runtime Platform team is the heartbeat of our operations—focusing on robust release engineering, rigorous quality assurance, and strict adherence to FedRAMP standards.
As a Principal Engineer on the Runtime Platform team, you’ll partner with a talented group of engineers to ensure our platform’s operational excellence and regulatory compliance. You will be instrumental in defining technical vision, establishing efficient processes, and driving initiatives that enhance our release cycles, operational monitoring, and quality controls. Working closely with operations, release engineering, quality, security, and compliance teams, you’ll ensure our platform not only meets performance expectations but also adheres to the stringent requirements of FedRamp.
What you’ll do:
Establish standards for development teams and lead initiatives in collaboration with infrastructure, platform, and other software engineering teams
Use a customer-centric approach to lead architectural design decisions that improve scalability and performance
Develop fellow teammates by conducting code reviews, providing mentorship, pairing, and training opportunities
Leverage our tech stack: Primarily Ruby/Rails/Postgres hosted on AWS and increasingly using Kubernetes, and languages such as Java and Typescript. We currently use CircleCI and Argo Workflows for Continuous Integration and a combination of ArgoCD / Argo Workflows and an in house tool for Continuous Delivery.
Drive key projects including:
Delivering Software at Scale: We’re growing and need engineers who are ready to take on the challenge of building our next-generation CI/CD pipeline to enable hundreds of other developers to deliver high-quality software safely at a high velocity.
Delivering Services at Speed: We’re continuing our transition to a service-oriented architecture, and we need build/test/deploy pipelines that allow developers to put their services into production quickly and safely, with a minimum of handoffs to other teams.
Software Delivery Observability: We intend to become an elite performer in the software industry, and we can only do this if we learn and adapt quickly. We need telemetry from our software delivery systems from which to continually learn how to improve our lead time for changes, our change failure rate, and our mean time to recover from failure.
What we’re looking for:
10+ years experience in software engineering fundamentals, Test Driven Development and Design principles (Ruby on Rails, Python, Go, Java, or similar languages preferred)
Understanding the tradeoffs between short-term and long-term goals and balancing immediate needs with strategic initiatives
Track record of working with software, platforms, and infrastructure at scale (we run thousands of hosts and have millions of users)
Experience in building modern Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery systems at scale
Experience as a technical leader on large initiatives with the ability to course correct as needed
Proven expertise with modern web development including development, testing, staging, deploying, and monitoring
Ability to consistently evaluate current technical approaches to continue to be industry best-of-class
Base Pay Range $198,240 - $272,580. Eligible for Bonus Incentive Compensation. Procore is committed to offering competitive, fair, and commensurate compensation, and has provided an estimated pay range for this role. Actual compensation will be based on a candidate’s job-related skills, experience, education or training, and location.
