Principal Software Engineer

Role Description

We're looking for a Principal Engineer who want to work at the frontier of how software gets built. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship, including visa expiration limitations.

This role starts with strong, traditional engineering fundamentals. At its core, this is a Principal-level full-stack engineering position. You will be expected to bring deep hands-on experience designing, building, and owning production systems using languages such as Java, C#, Dart, JavaScript, or similar.

As an AI-First Software Engineer — what Silicon Valley increasingly calls an AI Builder — you won’t spend your day writing code line by line. However, in order to succeed in this role, you must first be a deeply capable engineer who understands how systems are built without AI. AI is used to accelerate development outcomes, but strong engineering judgment, system design, and real-world production experience are the foundation of success in this role.

You will:

• Design robust, scalable systems.
• Write clear and precise technical specifications.
• Guide implementation through both hands-on engineering and AI-assisted workflows.
• Validate that every output meets enterprise standards.
• Hold an application’s entire shape in your head — from the mobile UI, through the API, down to the database and the cloud infrastructure underneath it.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of strong, hands-on software engineering experience with principal-level depth.
• Proven experience building production systems using Java, C#, Dart, JavaScript, or similar.
• Full-stack capability across frontend, backend, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
• Strong systems thinking — ability to design and reason end-to-end (UI → API → DB → infrastructure).
• Demonstrated experience building scalable, distributed systems in production environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to reason through real-world technical scenarios.
• Experience designing and developing APIs, microservices, and enterprise-level applications.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, and modern engineering practices.
• Ability to clearly communicate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and solutions.
• Experience handling production issues, debugging complex systems, and addressing edge cases.
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical initiatives.

Requirements

• Experience with microservices architecture and service-oriented design.
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or similar cloud platforms.
• Experience building highly scalable and distributed systems.
• Background in enterprise or platform engineering environments.
• Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Flutter, or similar).
• Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, Copilot, etc.) as part of development workflows.
• Experience working in fast-paced, high-output engineering teams.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary plus monthly bonus potential.
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision benefits starting on the first of the month following hire date.
• Pet Insurance starting on the first of the month following hire date.
• 8 Paid Holidays per year.
• Paid Time Off.
• 401(k).
• Wellness Program.
• Parental Leave.
