Descripción del empleo

We are seeking a Principal Engineer to join our Engineering Team. This role combines deep hands-on engineering capability with technical leadership across multiple tech stacks.

The ideal candidate is a senior technical leader who can define architecture, guide engineering standards, solve complex cross-platform problems, and support the delivery of secure, reliable, and maintainable solutions in a fast-moving environment.

This position also requires strong collaboration and leadership skills. The Principal Full Stack Engineer must work effectively with engineers, product stakeholders, and delivery teams, while helping shape ways of working, mentoring others, and driving high engineering quality. The ideal candidate should be proactive, pragmatic, and able to balance hands-on implementation with strategic technical decision-making. Also, it requires strategic technical decision-making, with the ability to lead architecture and technical discussions, influence decisions across engineering and business stakeholders, and translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-on Engineering: own and implement full stack features end-to-end as well as leading evaluation and adoption of new tools/methodologies to improve company standards
• Quality Assurance: Enforce code quality standards and support QA teams and ensure test implementation and coverage are meeting expectations
• Technical Leadership: Design and architect scalable systems aligned to business goals and drive strategic decisions on processes for efficiency, optimization, and long-term maintainability
• Best Practices: Promote and model company best practices day-to-day while driving continuous improvement through process implementation
• Cross Functional Collaboration: Partner with business ops, stakeholders, and clients to translate business requirements into technical solutions and act as the intermediary between business operations and engineering
• Team Development: Mentor engineers at all levels while also leading training sessions, code reviews, and provide constructive feedback and align technical standards across the team

Soft Skills

• Business Acumen: Connect technical direction and architectural decisions to business outcomes, anticipating impacts and providing decisions to maximize long-term value.
• Accountability: Accountable for the technical and delivery success of systems or projects, taking ownership of outcomes across teams and addressing issues proactively rather than reactively.
• Communication: Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, aligning stakeholders, and enabling confident decision-making.
• Judgement: Demonstrate judgment by making high-impact decisions, balancing short-term delivery with long-term sustainability, and escalating risks early.
• Collaboration: Drive alignment across multiple teams and disciplines by acting as a unifying technical leader, resolving cross-team friction.
• Curiosity: Maintain curiosity about systems, and emerging technologies, using that understanding to anticipate challenges, guide innovation, and continuously improve technical and delivery practices.
