Let's be ISS STOXX is seeking a Principal Software Engineer on Data Distribution to bring expert-level technical leadership to the development and deployment of our financial data distribution platform. We are re-architecting our distribution ecosystem into a modern, componentised set of solutions using GCP. In this hands on IC role, you will collaborate with Product to shape direction and with Engineering to design, build, validate and migrate to a new platform serving business critical data at scale. You'll be passionate about delivering incremental value. You bring experience applying modern (including Generative AI-enabled) SDLC approaches to turn complex requirements into scalable solutions, and are comfortable operating in matrixed environments where influence, not hierarchy, drives direction. You will collaborate globally, sharing best practices and continuously improving how teams design, build and deliver. You are a humble expert who leads by example-using data, proof of concepts, and pragmatic decision making to bring others along. You balance personal ownership with enabling others, raising the bar across teams while staying deeply hands on. Success in this role means consistently delivering value in complex, evolving environments-helping teams progress with clarity despite ambiguity, avoiding big bang delivery, and building systems that scale with both the business and the organisation.
