Anaplan is the leading enterprise decision making platform, powering the world's largest enterprises with its proprietary Hyperblock technology and cloud infrastructure. We are seeking a Sr. Principal Engineer to join our team in Manchester, UK. Your Impact Lead the design, delivery, and architecture of platform capabilities powering Anaplan's enterprise scale API gateways, edge routing, and developer acceleration. Build and scale high throughput backend engines that manage core request orchestration, seamless multi tenant isolation, and API first solutions serving thousands of tenants and tens of thousands of users. Partner with architects and senior engineers across the Platform Experience domain to set technical direction, aligning implementation patterns for complex initiatives (like Vanity URLs, JWT auth flows, and cross service proxying). Drive the evolution of our deployment infrastructure, championing modern GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Helm) and highly available containerized orchestration. Own foundational features end to end-from design through to production-while continuously improving system observability, implementing intelligent rate limiting, and solving complex concurrency challenges (e.g., database locks and connection starvation). Deliver thought leadership and coding excellence across Java/Kotlin, ensuring seamless integration between backend microservices and UI components (including resolving complex CORS and distributed edge proxy requirements). Mentor and elevate engineers across global teams through design reviews, pair programming, and hands on leadership to foster a resilient engineering culture. Your Qualifications Extensive background in software engineering within enterprise scale, high throughput platform or data centric environments. Understand, leverage, and integrate modern AI tools and concepts-including agentic programming patterns and LLM assisted workflows-to accelerate platform engineering and developer velocity. Deep expertise in backend JVM languages (Java and/or Kotlin) with a strong understanding of distributed systems internals. Proven track record of delivering API first infrastructures, API Gateways (e.g., Traefik), and edge routing solutions that guarantee enterprise reliability under sustained traffic loads (2K+ requests per second). Hands on experience with Kubernetes, containerized deployments, and managing complex CI/CD pipelines (strong familiarity with GitOps, ArgoCD, and high velocity release workflows). Solid grounding in event driven architecture, real time data processing, and managing complex database transaction scopes at scale. Experience balancing rapid prototyping and fast iteration with long term sustainability and quality-you have a bias for action and prefer to try and iterate rather than wait for perfect information. Exceptional technical communicator with a proven ability to align globally distributed teams. You are highly skilled at distilling complex concepts into clear, structured RFCs and architectural designs to build consensus. Understand, leverage, and integrate modern AI tools and concepts-including agentic programming patterns and LLM assisted workflows-to accelerate platform engineering and developer velocity. Preferred Skills You have shaped architecture and platform strategy at an enterprise scale, navigating the trade offs of hybrid and cloud agnostic infrastructures. You bring a polyglot mindset, matching the right technology to the challenge rather than defaulting to a single stack (comfortable exploring React, Python, or Go when needed). Genuine curiosity-you're energized by learning new technologies and approaches to solve edge routing and platform enablement challenges. You enjoy mentoring others and raising the bar for engineering culture, without big egos. You're highly comfortable operating in distributed teams, embracing asynchronous collaboration, and driving consensus across distinct domains.
