The posting

Principal Engineer – Multi-Region & Internationalisation

Principal Engineer – Internationalisation Programme (Go, Kubernetes, Kafka, Cassandra, Postgres)

A global sports business is taking its platform international, and we need the architecture lead for the programme. You will be the subject-matter expert the whole programme leans on. That means guiding the shared services work, keeping the flagship consumer app on track, and covering the platform wherever services meet. It is a broad remit, and it is hands-on.

The programme

The client's shared services team supports several business lines. They are internationalising their flagship app alongside the shared services behind it, such as identity, loyalty and partner integrations. The first target is an isolated region with its own data-residency stack. Multi-region rollouts follow through 2027.

What you will work on

  • Setting the architecture direction across the shared services, and making sure each one can run inside an isolated region with no hidden dependency on the original one.
  • Keeping the flagship app's internationalisation coherent as the services underneath it change.
  • Owning the seams: how the shared services interact across and within regions.
  • Data residency: deciding what data is shared, what stays regional and what never leaves a region, across Cassandra and Postgres.
  • Kafka in both worlds: self-contained within an isolated region, and replicated across regions where it is needed.
  • Terraform and Kubernetes that stand up a new region repeatably, with explicit regional config and visible drift.
  • Cross functional stakeholder management. You will be the glue between multiple teams.

In your first two weeks you will review what the client's team has already built for the first region. You will come back with an honest verdict on what holds up, what will block an isolated launch, and what will make multi-region harder later.

You will likely have

  • Stood production systems up in new, isolated regions under data-residency rules, and taken systems multi-region, including the data and failover decisions.
  • Been the architecture lead across several teams or services, not just one.
  • Current, senior Go, and enough React to change it with confidence.
  • Deep working knowledge of Cassandra, Postgres and Kafka in distributed setups.
  • Kubernetes and Terraform experience at the level of designing platforms, not just using them.
  • The confidence to say "this will not work" to a client, with evidence.
  • A habit of making the engineers around you better.

You do not need experience in the client's industry, or with a specific cloud provider. AI tools are welcome in your workflow; we expect you to understand and own every line you ship.

What we’ll offer you:

We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.

Our hiring process

We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.

It usually looks like this:

  • Call with our Talent Acquisition Team

Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
