Sr. Principal Engineer/ Principal Engineer – Cloud Platform
extremenetworks
This is a leadership role at a company that's growing and shipping real products to thousands of customers. You won't just write code—you'll set the direction for how Extreme's cloud platform evolves. If you want to see your architectural decisions impact a global business early in your career, this is the kind of role that teaches you what senior engineering actually means.
You'll design and lead the development of Extreme's cloud platform, working on distributed systems, microservices, and infrastructure at scale. This means thinking about how systems behave when they're used by tens of thousands of organizations, then building the architecture to support that. You'll report to the Director of Software Systems Engineering and own decisions that shape how the entire platform is built.
This role expects 15+ years of experience in large-scale distributed systems—so it's a senior hire. If you're a recent grad, this isn't your entry point. But if you're thinking about what principal-level engineering looks like, studying how companies like Extreme structure these roles now will help you get there later.
