Anaplan - Principal Software Engineer (Java)

• Extensive background in software engineering within enterprise-scale, high-throughput platform or data-centric environments. • Understand, leverage, and integrate modern AI tools and concepts—including agentic programming patterns and LLM-assisted workflows—to accelerate platform engineering and developer velocity. • Deep expertise in backend JVM languages (Java and/or Kotlin) with a strong understanding of distributed systems internals. • Proven track record of delivering API-first infrastructures, API Gateways (e.g., Traefik), and edge routing solutions that guarantee enterprise reliability under sustained traffic loads (2K+ requests per second). • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containerized deployments, and managing complex CI/CD pipelines (strong familiarity with GitOps, ArgoCD, and high-velocity release workflows). • Solid grounding in event-driven architecture, real-time data processing, and managing complex database transaction scopes at scale. • Experience balancing rapid prototyping and fast iteration with long-term sustainability and quality—you have a bias for action and prefer to try and iterate rather than wait for perfect information. • Exceptional technical communicator with a proven ability to align globally distributed teams. You are highly skilled at distilling complex concepts into clear, structured RFCs and architectural designs to build consensus. • You have shaped architecture and platform strategy at an enterprise scale, navigating the trade-offs of hybrid and cloud-agnostic infrastructures. • You bring a polyglot mindset, matching the right technology to the challenge rather than defaulting to a single stack (comfortable exploring React, Python, or Go when needed). • Genuine curiosity—you're energized by learning new technologies and approaches to solve edge routing and platform enablement challenges. • You enjoy mentoring others and raising the bar for engineering culture, without big egos. • You're highly comfortable operating in distributed teams, embracing asynchronous collaboration, and driving consensus across distinct domains. • Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) • We believe attracting and retaining the best talent and fostering an inclusive culture strengthens our business. DEIB improves our workforce, enhances trust with our partners and customers, and drives business success.
