Principal Software Engineer
Orcapod Consulting Services
About the role
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to spearhead the architecture, evolution, and delivery of iModel Cloud Sync Services, enabling high-volume data ingestion, transformation, and synchronization from heterogeneous engineering sources into the iTwin platform. This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, orchestration frameworks, state-machine-driven workflows, and enterprise-grade reliability. As a Principal, you will define architectural direction, mentor teams, and ensure that the platform is engineered for scale, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
Responsibilities
- Architectural Leadership Evolve end-to-end architecture for cloud-based ETL workflows and engineering data synchronization.
- Architect event-driven systems using microservices, container orchestration, and state-machine-driven execution.
- Lead design of multi-tenant services optimized for global scale, performance, and cost-efficiency.
- Cloud Platform & Distributed Systems
- Design cloud-native pipelines using Kubernetes, focusing on zero-downtime rollouts and secure configuration management.
- Implement distributed locking and conflict-resolution mechanisms for high-concurrency data sync.
- Ensure robust observability through distributed tracing, automated diagnostics, and structured logging.
- Data & ETL Workflow Architecture Drive ETL design for engineering data, focusing on schema management, versioning, and domain-model mapping.
- Master workflow orchestration using engines like Temporal or Step Functions to ensure idempotency and transactional integrity.
- Reliability, Resilience & Operational Excellence Define resilience strategies, including SLOs, self-healing workflows, circuit breakers, and failure isolation patterns.
- Champion operational health through architecture reviews, capacity planning, and cloud cost governance.
- Technical Leadership & Mentorship
- Mentor senior engineers on distributed systems, cloud-native patterns, and engineering best practices.
- Align engineering execution with long-term platform vision by partnering with product and architecture leaders.

Technical questions 4
What is the bias-variance tradeoff and how do you prevent overfitting? Answer
Model answer: High bias leads to underfitting (oversimplified model), high variance leads to overfitting (captures noise). Mitigate using L1/L2 Regularization, Dropout, Cross-Validation, and data augmentation.
Explain the difference between Precision, Recall, and F1-Score. Answer
Model answer: Precision = TP / (TP + FP) (correctness of positive predictions). Recall = TP / (TP + FN) (coverage of actual positives). F1-Score is the harmonic mean of Precision and Recall.
How does Gradient Descent work and what is the role of Learning Rate? Answer
Model answer: It optimizes loss functions by iteratively moving weights in the direction of negative gradient. A large learning rate may overshoot the minimum; a small rate causes slow convergence.
What is the difference between Supervised, Unsupervised, and Self-Supervised learning? Answer
Model answer: Supervised uses labeled data (X -> y). Unsupervised finds hidden patterns in unlabeled data (clustering/PCA). Self-supervised generates labels from input data (e.g. masked language modeling in BERT/Transformers).
