TELL ME ABOUT IGLOO!

One of our core beliefs at Igloo is that people are a company’s biggest asset. This philosophy is woven into everything we do at Igloo – our behaviors, our culture, and especially our digital workplace solutions, which we as Iglooites use everyday. You might say we talk the talk and walk the walk!
Igloo’s mission is to transform workplace communication and collaboration! We simplify workflows, making it easy to create and share content while delivering a delightful experience for all Igloo users.
That’s why we deliver an exceptional employee experience that goes beyond just perks and promises – Igloo can offer you the true sense of purpose that you’ve been looking for! We offer a fully remote work environment designed to empower you to thrive, excel and succeed in your career from the comfort of your home. Join Igloo and unleash your potential!
We’re building a modern SaaS platform that’s already delivering value to customers—and now we’re evolving it for scale, performance, and long-term maintainability.
As Principal Platform Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the core of our engineering platform. You’ll work across backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and deployment pipelines to help simplify service boundaries, improve reliability, and enable faster, safer delivery. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on creating clarity from complexity and enjoys building foundations that others can build on confidently.
You’ll have the opportunity to guide key architectural decisions, collaborate closely with a strong and committed development team, and make a lasting impact on how we build, test, and run our platform.

WHAT IGLOO CAN OFFER YOU!

We offer a training budget for every employee, health benefits and a wellness spending account, and matching retirement savings. You choose whether you work on a Mac or PC, whatever hardware makes your work easier. We are also proud to offer a 100% remote-first work environment for each role at Igloo!
If you’re looking for a role with the right mix of autonomy and team collaboration, an environment that fosters transparency and trust, a company with seasoned leadership and backed by a leading investment firm, a career with lots of opportunity and room for growth, and a chance to personally influence how organizations work, then we invite you to step inside Igloo.

Responsibilities
  • Refactor and consolidate our existing Azure Function repos, shared SDKs, and supporting services to reduce complexity and improve maintainability
  • Modernize backend architecture, storage choices, and event sourcing implementations (e.g. Cosmos DB, Table Storage, Service Bus, custom event handlers)
  • Own and improve build and deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, Bicep, and PowerShell
  • Define and enforce patterns for service ownership, reliability, and observability
  • Work closely with engineers to coach, document, and unblock—you lead by example, not just direction
  • Identify and prioritize tech debt in coordination with product and engineering leadership
  • Help shape platform-wide decisions around security, performance, scalability, and maintainability
  • Provide architectural guidance on the evolution of our event-driven, API-first platform
