Principal AI-Native Product Engineer

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions
Durham, NC
Job Description
Role Overview

We are seeking a Principal AI-Native Product Engineer to join our team. This is a builder seat with a senior architect's responsibility hidden inside it. You will write code, ship code, and own the result. You will also own the foundation that everything else gets built on.

What You Will Do

You will be responsible for building systems that other engineers, and now AI agents, can safely extend in parallel. You will use AI to generate unit, integration, contract, UI, and regression tests alongside the implementation. You will also use AI to identify edge cases, regression risk, and performance hot spots, then verify them with deterministic checks.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role is for someone who is comfortable making UX calls in real time, in code, with AI in the loop. You should be able to direct multiple parallel work streams without dropping the thread on any of them. You should also have a strong ownership mindset and be accountable for what runs in production with your name on it.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Deep fluency with SOLID principles, clean architecture, separation of concerns, and design for testability
  • Track record of building systems that other engineers, and now AI agents, can safely extend in parallel
  • Strong full-stack delivery background across frontend, backend, APIs, data, and integration
  • Experience with contract-first design using OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, or typed schema systems
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted or agentic development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Copilot
  • Comfort building user-facing experiences directly in code, including layout, interaction states, accessibility, validation, and error handling
  • Strong test mindset
  • Experience with CI/CD, PR review, static analysis, automated quality gates, and release readiness
  • Ability to evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, security, and architectural fit

Benefits

  • Bonus: Eligible for up to 8% performance-based bonus (individual and company performance)
  • Group health coverage (medical, dental, & vision)
  • Employee Assistance Programs
  • Pre-tax spending accounts
  • 401(k) plan (with company match)
  • Company provided life insurance
  • Pet Insurance
  • Employee discounts
  • Generous paid holiday schedule, paid vacation & sick/personal days
