As a technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) with a focus on networking and compute infrastructure, the Principal Member of Technical Staff will take responsibility for complex projects, including the development of software for low level cloud infrastructure services. The role requires decomposing high-level architectures into detailed software designs, leading the development of solutions that involve multiple modules with complex interactions, and ensuring that these solutions are properly supported by monitoring and automation systems. This is a hybrid position for either Seattle or Santa Clara. 

In this capacity, the candidate will act as an SME for root cause analysis and frequently develop scripts to automate complex tasks that bridge software and networking functions.

The Principal Member of Technical Staff will offer broad guidance to technical and senior technical staff, interpreting input from leaders (technical and managerial) and mentoring junior engineers. The candidate will conduct technical coaching sessions and help team members develop skills in both software engineering and networking. Active communication with product teams is essential, as the candidate will drive technology to meet product and service requirements, working closely with product teams, networking leadership, and the PMO to assess gaps, solutions, and needs.
