Job description

Principal Engineer / Technical Executive Type

Our client is looking for a Principal Engineer / Technical Executive to take full ownership of their technical ecosystem — from architecture decisions to hands‑on execution across the entire stack. They operate in a high‑growth tech environment, having rapidly evolved their product capabilities and infrastructure over recent years while pushing forward in AI‑driven innovation.

This is not a traditional leadership role. They need someone who builds, ships, fixes, and scales — all in real time. The ideal candidate combines the strategic thinking of a CTO with the execution speed of a senior engineer who still loves writing code daily.

Responsibilities

• Deliver end‑to‑end features across frontend, backend, database, workflows, and AI systems without relying on handoffs
• Make and implement key architectural decisions including system design, data structures, caching, and infrastructure setup
• Own production systems, diagnosing and resolving issues across servers, APIs, queues, and databases
• Lead AI integration initiatives, from experimentation to production‑ready deployment
• Build and optimise data pipelines, model inference systems, and GPU‑based workflows
• Design and maintain payment systems, subscription logic, and financial workflows
• Develop across all layers including UI components, APIs, testing, and deployment scripts
• Set engineering standards through high‑quality code, testing, and documentation
• Support and mentor engineers across different areas of the stack

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience building production systems
• Strong full‑stack expertise including frontend, backend, databases, and infrastructure
• Proven experience integrating AI/ML models into live production environments
• Experience building or managing systems that handle financial transactions
• Deep understanding of system reliability, debugging, and performance optimisation
• Experience scaling systems under real user traffic and growth conditions
• Ability to move quickly across multiple layers of a system without dependency on specialists

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of database design and optimisation
• Experience with infrastructure management, including Linux environments and networking
• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and model deployment strategies
• Ability to evaluate trade‑offs and make pragmatic technical decisions
• Strong ownership mindset and problem‑solving approach
• Full‑time position
• 100% remote work environment
• High‑impact role with ownership over technical direction
• Opportunity to work with cutting‑edge AI and scalable systems
• Fast‑paced, high‑growth environment with strong learning opportunities
