Plus, you’ll enjoy world-class benefits and the security, stability, and resources of our parent company, Hearst, with over 100 years of experience.
We are looking for an experienced Principal Product Engineer to lead delivery for key customer-facing products by partnering with customers to showcase MCG product(s) value.This role is hands-on in both product discovery and software delivery, shaping workflow design with customers while also building, integrating, and verifying the solution so value is measurable in production.
The Principal Product Engineer uses Generative AI to accelerate the path from intent to implementation, including planning, executable documentation, test scenario generation, and rapid iteration, while staying close to the code and integration surfaces where delivery risk lives. They translate ambiguity into small, verifiable slices of work, move quickly through build feedback loops, and ensure correctness through strong validation and practical release discipline.

- Build Fast, Learn Faster: Build functional software early, expose it to real usage, and iterate in tight cycles based on measurable outcomes and stakeholder feedback
- Agentic Build Acceleration: Use agentic workflows to develop, decompose problems, scaffold implementations, generate tests, and accelerate execution without sacrificing correctness
- Outcome Ownership: Own customer facing delivery outcomes end to end, developing and driving working software to meet commitments, release dates, SLAs, and measurable business impact
- Evidence Driven Iteration: Establish baselines, define success metrics, and continuously prove value through data rather than opinion
- Unblock and Deliver: Remove delivery friction by resolving integration gaps, clarifying ambiguous requirements through prototypes, and tightening feedback loops across teams

- From Pilot to Platform: Translate pilot insights into reusable platform capabilities, reference architectures, and repeatable rollout patterns

- AI Enabled Build Acceleration: Use Generative AI and agentic workflows to explore implementation options, generate test scenarios, accelerate iteration, treat specifications and documentation as outputs of execution refined through build cycles, and separate repeatable platform capabilities from customer specific adaptations
