Road Map
The Principal Software Engineer is a senior technical leader embedded in our agile development organization, driving the architecture and delivery of our next-gen compliance platform. This is a hands-on leadership role — you will own technical direction, mentor and lead a team of 3–4 developers, and contribute meaningfully at the individual contributor level. The ideal candidate brings 10–15+ years of full-stack experience, thrives in fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environments, and has a track record of leading distributed, multi-timezone teams.
You will be expected to think beyond your immediate team. As a member of our Team Leads Team, you will collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering leaders, share learnings, and help shape engineering culture and practice across the broader organization.
What Your Ride Will Look Like
Technical Leadership
Architect, write, and maintain reusable, testable, and efficient code (Clean Code / SOLID principles).
Design and implement low-latency, high-availability, and performant applications across the full stack.
Lead front-end (Vue/Vuex) and back-end (.NET) development, setting patterns and standards for the team.
Own SQL database architecture and query performance across your team’s domains.
Drive adoption of microservice and micro front-end architecture best practices.
Share in DevOps responsibilities and champion observability tooling and practices.
Participate in and often facilitate agile (Scrum/Kanban) ceremonies for your team.
Team Leadership & People Development
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 3–4 developers, providing technical direction, code review, and career guidance.
Navigate ambiguity and fast-changing priorities — helping your team stay focused and effective when requirements shift.
Manage and coordinate across multiple time zones, ensuring remote team members are included, unblocked, and aligned.
Build and sustain a strong remote team culture through intentional relationship-building, async communication practices, and virtual team rituals.
Organize and run effective remote ceremonies — standups, retros, and planning sessions — that create genuine connection and accountability.
Organizational Influence
Team Leads Team — participate actively in this cross-team leadership forum where engineering leads share learnings, align on practices, and collectively influence engineering culture beyond their own teams.
Bring insights from your team’s work and challenges to the broader group, and apply lessons from peers back to your team.
Help identify and resolve systemic issues — tooling gaps, process bottlenecks, knowledge silos — that affect multiple teams.
Show Off What You Have
10+ years of experience required; 15+ years strongly preferred. Experience must span both technical depth and team leadership.
Leadership & Collaboration (Required)
