Principal Software Engineer (Reliability)

What if you could use your technology skills to develop a product that impacts the way communities’ hospitals, homes, sports stadiums, and schools across the world are built? Construction impacts the lives of nearly everyone in the world, and yet it’s also one of the world’s least digitized industries, not to mention one of the most dangerous. That’s why we’re looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer to join Procore’s journey to revolutionize a historically underserved industry.

As a Principal Software Engineer on our Reliability Engineering team, you’ll help champion solutions to systemic issues affecting every team at Procore. Leveraging your software and systems architecture expertise, you’ll conduct consultative engagements with our service authors that improve our software’s reliability. If you have a passion for solving complex problems unique to running large, highly scalable, resilient systems, we would love for you to join us!
