Job description

Tell me about Igloo!

One of our core beliefs at Igloo is that people are a company’s biggest asset. This philosophy is woven into everything we do at Igloo – our behaviors, our culture, and especially our digital workplace solutions, which we as Iglooites use everyday. You might say we talk the talk and walk the walk!

Igloo's mission is to transform workplace communication and collaboration! We simplify workflows, making it easy to create and share content while delivering a delightful experience for all Igloo users.

That’s why we deliver an exceptional employee experience that goes beyond just perks and promises – Igloo can offer you the true sense of purpose that you’ve been looking for! We offer a fully remote work environment designed to empower you to thrive, excel and succeed in your career from the comfort of your home. Join Igloo and unleash your potential!

We’re building a modern SaaS platform that’s already delivering value to customers—and now we’re evolving it for scale, performance, and long-term maintainability.

As Principal Platform Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the core of our engineering platform. You’ll work across backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and deployment pipelines to help simplify service boundaries, improve reliability, and enable faster, safer delivery. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on creating clarity from complexity and enjoys building foundations that others can build on confidently.

You’ll have the opportunity to guide key architectural decisions, collaborate closely with a strong and committed development team, and make a lasting impact on how we build, test, and run our platform.

What You'll Do

Refactor and consolidate our existing Azure Function repos, shared SDKs, and supporting services to reduce complexity and improve maintainability

Modernize backend architecture, storage choices, and event sourcing implementations (e.g. Cosmos DB, Table Storage, Service Bus, custom event handlers)

Own and improve build and deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, Bicep, and PowerShell

Define and enforce patterns for service ownership, reliability, and observability

Work closely with engineers to coach, document, and unblock—you lead by example, not just direction

Identify and prioritize tech debt in coordination with product and engineering leadership

Help shape platform-wide decisions around security, performance, scalability, and maintainability

Provide architectural guidance on the evolution of our event-driven, API-first platform

You'll Be Successful If You:

Are a seasoned engineer with 8+ years of experience in software and platform development

Have deep, hands-on experience with Azure services, particularly:

o Azure Functions, APIM, Cosmos DB, Table Storage, Service Bus

o IaC tools (Bicep preferred), CI/CD (GitHub Actions), scripting (PowerShell, Python)

Are highly proficient in C#/.NET and working with microservices at scale

Have experience designing event-driven systems, especially if you've worked through the challenges of homegrown patterns

Understand the value of good abstraction, and how to balance idealism with pragmatism

Love reducing duplication, improving developer workflows, and simplifying complex things

Have strong collaboration skills—especially with dev teams, product managers, and DevOps

Nice to Haves:

Experience in SaaS product environments

Exposure to our frontend stack - React, Remix, Node.js, and Docker

Experience mentoring or leading other engineers, formally or informally

Familiarity with security best practices, compliance, or regulated environments

Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer (a plus)

If you’re looking for a role with the right mix of autonomy and team collaboration, an environment that fosters transparency and trust, a company with seasoned leadership and backed by a leading investment firm, a career with lots of opportunity and room for growth, and a chance to personally influence how organizations work, then we invite you to step inside Igloo.
