# Principal Engineer, AI Native Quality & Safety

At Workiva, we build and scale an enterprise platform that powers complex financial reporting, compliance, and collaboration for some of the world’s largest organizations. We solve for high-throughput data, strict consistency, and architectural scale while exploring what AI can do to transform how engineering teams work. We are not simply adding AI to existing workflows. We are redesigning how engineering gets done. As agents take on more of the work, the human review steps that once caught problems are going away. AI failures often happen when nothing breaks: the model does exactly what it was asked, and the result is still wrong. That makes safety a control problem, not a prediction problem. We are hiring a Principal Software Engineer to lead quality and safety for AI-native delivery. Our standard is quality through systems, not heroics, so the safe path is the easy path and higher velocity never means higher production risk. This is a hands-on role for someone who can define strategy, propose original solutions, and raise the technical bar for the teams around them.
