We are seeking a Senior Principal Software Development Engineer - a high-judgment, full-stack developer who thrives on owning products end-to-end. This role combines deep technical expertise with product sensibility, operational awareness, and fluency in modern AI-assisted development.

You’ll design, build, deploy, and operate software that delivers real user and business value. You’ll work in a small, high-trust team where individuals have broad responsibility — not just for delivering features, but for improving the platform, refining our practices, and shaping the team culture. Leadership here isn’t a title; it’s the initiative to make things better.

This is not a narrow “feature developer” position — it’s a role for those who think in systems, act with autonomy, and care about quality from concept to production.
 

Key Responsibilities: End-to-End Ownership: Design, build, deploy, monitor, and continuously improve product features across the full stack.
 

Architecture & Systems Thinking: Lead or contribute to the design of scalable, secure, and maintainable systems — including APIs, data models, and deployment strategies.
 

AI-Augmented Development: Use modern AI tools to accelerate coding, testing, documentation, and debugging while maintaining a high standard of quality and judgment.
 

CI/CD & Operations: Build and manage automated CI/CD pipelines, monitor production health, and ensure reliability, observability, and cost efficiency.
 

Production Mindset: You've been on-call and know what it takes to run reliable systems. You ship with confidence because you've built proper testing and monitoring.
 

Product Mindset: Collaborate directly with product managers, designers, and scientists to understand user problems and translate them into elegant, working solutions.
 

Code Quality & Testing: Maintain high coding standards, implement automated testing, and review peers’ work to ensure system integrity and performance.
 

Mentorship & Team Culture: Share knowledge, promote modern engineering practices, and contribute to a culture of learning, speed, and continuous improvement.
 

Security & Compliance: Implement security best practices and support regulated development standards appropriate to our domain.
 

Basic Qualifications:
 

Experience: 10+ years of software development, with demonstrable ownership of deployed systems and production services.
 

Technical Breadth: Strong experience with both front-end (React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS) and back-end (Node.js, C#, or Python) development.
 

System Design: Proven ability to design scalable, maintainable, and observable distributed systems.
 

CI/CD Expertise: Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, or similar) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK).
 

Cloud Proficiency: Solid understanding of AWS services (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, etc.) and deployment architectures.
 

AI Fluency: Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) for development, testing, or data analysis.
 

Database Skills: Strong SQL experience (PostgreSQL preferred) plus familiarity with NoSQL systems.
 

Version Control: Proficient with Git and collaborative workflows (PRs, branching strategies, reviews).
 

Testing Discipline: Comfortable with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing frameworks (Playwright, Jest, Cypress, xUnit, etc.).
 

Agile Mindset: Experienced in fast, iterative delivery environments emphasizing learning, autonomy, and outcome over process.
 

Communication: Able to articulate complex technical topics clearly, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with event-driven or microservices architectures.

• Familiarity with observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK).

• Knowledge of machine learning or AI integration patterns.

• Contributions to open-source or internal developer-tooling initiatives.

• Interest in Lean, DevOps, or Continuous Delivery principles (Humble/Farley, Forsgren, O'Reilly).

What Success Looks Like:

• You deliver features that make it all the way to production tested, monitored, and loved by users.

• You improve velocity without sacrificing quality.

• You use AI tools effectively to multiply your output and reduce friction.

• You take initiative to fix what’s broken, simplify what’s complex, and ship what matters.

• You elevate your peers through mentorship, clarity, and example.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation and performance-based bonuses

• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits

• Flexible work arrangements and generous vacation policy

• Learning budget for technical and AI-related upskilling

• Collaborative, mission-driven team environment
