We're passionate about technology, compelled by its potential as we help create the digital products, experiences, and technology-driven organizations that drive true change. We’re thrilled by the opportunity to build the future we want to see, with anyone willing to join us.

The software engineering (SE) discipline at Slalom brings our clients’ vision to life! We use modern tools and techniques (including GenAI tools and copilots) to build secure, highly scalable software products that handle our clients' most innovative and strategic work. We follow Agile practices when building software components and applications that utilize modern frameworks and cloud scale in order to accelerate our clients' business. Our software engineers are committed to the craft of collaboratively building high-quality and sustainable software products that delight our clients and their customers by taking advantage of emerging tools in an ever-changing technological landscape.

We build full-stack solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies and techniques according to the needs of our clients including:

• Front end applications targeting native mobile and modern web platforms. Examples include React, Angular and Vue.
• APIs and back end services built using emerging frameworks and architectural patterns. Examples include Node, Typescript, Java and .Net.

What You’ll Do

The SE Senior Principal balances their time between being an effective people leader and setting the technical direction in the delivery of some of our most challenging engagements. You are the advocate for your direct reports. You will develop strong, lasting relationships with each of them as you identify the perfect project match for their skills and objectives. You will partner with clients to understand the most complex technical and functional challenges they are facing. As you iterate on solutions with clients, you will develop implementation and delivery plans that take advantage of emerging technologies at scale. You will coordinate with other capabilities and technical leads in order to ensure that world-class user experiences are understood, validation procedures are aligned, and automation components are delivered. You will help in the pursuit of new business opportunities as a technical expert, detailing proposals for how we would approach delivery. Your expertise in designing and developing holistic software solutions will benefit the rest of Slalom as you lead communities and provide mentorship to other Builders. Specifically, you will:

• Advocate for, and manage, direct reports throughout their project alignment and professional development while helping them grow their career.
• Co‑lead discovery and delivery project phases alongside other capability leaders.
• Develop and execute implementation plans in alignment with features and functionality designed exceed client expectations across multiple value streams.
• Empower your team to deliver high-quality application code by establishing pragmatic, repeatable approaches to write, validate, and ship software on medium- to large- sized projects.
• Provide technical delivery expertise in new project pursuits alongside a skilled pursuit team.
• Advance the craft by developing and sharing materials and thought leadership with other builders.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in working in a hybrid environment as we build the foundation and grow our team in Guadalajara. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently, with days that may require in-person collaboration at our office.

What You’ll Bring

You have developed a keen sense for the needs of team members as well as project stakeholders. You are ready to put the needs of others ahead of your own as you build on your capacity as a servant people leader / manager. You steadily build rapport with your direct reports who will look to you for professional guidance. You will utilize your breadth of software design and delivery experience as well as your strong collaboration skills in order to coordinate the delivery of complex systems across multi-pod delivery projects. Your ability to communicate ideas through diagrams, documents and code will contribute to the team’s ability to realize your client’s vision at scale. Your sphere of influence grows as you interact with business and technology leaders to coordinate and deliver the right solution to them. You will work with other pursuit leads, sharing your technical expertise in engagement pursuits to help ensure that our technical approach is well‑represented while demonstrating Slalom Build’s delivery capability. You will feed others’ desire to learn and grow through your influence as a technical thought leader as you continue to expand your technical acumen across technologies and platforms.
