Principal Software Engineer - MATLAB Graphics

MATLAB Graphics team is looking for a Principal Software Engineer to help shape the evolution of MATLAB graphics. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the design and direction of a graphics and data visualization platform used by millions of scientists, engineers, and educators worldwide to visualize and analyze data. As a Principal Engineer, you will bring deep experience in cloud application development to modernize and extend MATLAB's graphics architecture. You will shape the long-term direction of the architecture spanning desktop and web. You will be partnering with, influencing, and coaching engineers who specialize in graphics systems and browser-based rendering. If you are motivated by solving challenging architectural problems, and delivering high customer impact, this role offers a rare opportunity to make a lasting contribution. Responsibilities Drive the technical evolution of the MATLAB Graphics architecture toward a cloud-native model , partnering with stakeholders to align on goals and priorities. M e ntor junior engineers through technical guidance and design reviews , supporting their technical growth and raising the quality bar across the team. Apply modern cloud engineering practices to graphics and visualization systems (CI/CD, observability, scalability, security). Deliver concrete enhancements to MATLAB graphics and interactive visualization (e.g., performance, rendering fidelity, interactivity, and new visualization capabilities). Minimum Qualifications A bachelor's degree and 10 years of professional work experience (or equivalent experience) is required. Additional Qualifications Understanding of cloud-native architecture patterns — including scalability, reliability, and observability — to guide the evolution of a graphics architecture toward a cloud native model. Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive alignment on technical direction and prioritization for complex systems. Track record of mentoring and developing engineers through technical guidance, design feedback, and architectural reviews. Experience with MATLAB or other scientific computation and data visualization software. Familiarity with web graphics or charting frameworks such as D3.js, Three.js, or similar. Familiarity with designing and implementing computer graphics and data visualization systems using browser-based rendering technologies (e.g., WebGL). Why MathWorks?
