    About the Role

    The Cloud Engineering Team is looking for a Principal Engineer - Systems who can execute our technology vision with our business asks. You will work with an energetic and talented team of engineers to own and iteratively build one or more of our cloud engineering, while partnering with architects and reliability engineers from across our company who will directly consume your work.

Our System Engineers solve complex infrastructural problems as PaaS offerings, built to seamlessly scale for 10x growth. As a Principal Engineer, you always have an eye on the future, while firmly grounding yourself in the reality of today, and you guide your team bridging both. The future includes not only adding new technologies and achieving ever higher scale, but also the overall technology vision of Freshworks related to how we build and who we build for.

  • Ensure uptime of production systems
  • Keep an eye on evolving opportunities in terms of new and related problem statements that can effectively solve for Freshworks.
  • Ensure that the architecture and solutions proposed are able to reduce the order of complexity existing in the system over time
