Principal Software Engineer

Role Description

Amtech is seeking a Principal Software Engineer / Architect to serve as the technical authority for our Label Traxx ERP platform and its ecosystem of integrations. This role owns the architecture and long-term technical direction of Label Traxx and the AWS-hosted systems that connect to it — including Cloud API, Batched, Siteline, Data Warehouse, and Supplier integrations — ensuring the platform scales reliably as Amtech’s customer base and integration footprint grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the recognized technical authority for the Label Traxx ERP platform and its integration ecosystem, shaping engineering standards, architecture, and long-term technical direction.
• Own the AWS architecture underpinning all Label Traxx integrations — Cloud API, Batched, Siteline, Data Warehouse, and Supplier integrations — ensuring each is scalable, secure, and operationally mature on a shared cloud foundation.
• Drive the strategic roadmap for modernizing the legacy 4D-based Label Traxx platform, extending capability through AWS-native services across all integration points, and resolving highly complex cross-cutting technical challenges through expert judgment.
• Define and evolve PostgreSQL data architecture and modeling standards shared across Label Traxx’s integrations, ensuring data integrity, performance, and consistency at scale.
• Guide architecture and technical direction for React-based frontends used by Label Traxx and its integration partners, ensuring consistency with backend and API design.
• Partner with the Architecture Review Board to define and evolve organization-wide standards for secure engineering, scalability, CI/CD, observability, and AI-assisted development practices.
• Improve engineering productivity, reliability, and delivery outcomes across the Label Traxx platform and its integration teams.
• Coach senior and staff-level engineers across Label Traxx and integration teams, influencing technical decisions and building organizational capability.
• Communicate technical direction, architecture decisions, and trade-offs to executive and cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Engineering, QA, Security, Operations).
• Evaluate AWS infrastructure and integration investments (compute, storage, networking, observability) needed to support Label Traxx’s growth, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Guide incident response and root-cause analysis for the most complex production issues spanning Label Traxx and its integrations.
