Job description

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly technical and strategic Principal Engineering Lead to lead the engineering organization responsible for our Enterprise Applications portfolio. This individual will serve as the technical leader for a team supporting Salesforce, DealCloud, DevOps, and Quality Engineering while partnering closely with Product Specialists and Functional Architecture to deliver scalable, AI-enabled business solutions. This is a hands-on player-coach role, not a traditional people management position. The successful candidate is expected to actively participate in architecture, solution design, proof-of-concepts, code reviews, and complex technical problem solving while leading and developing a high-performing engineering organization. Approximately 40-50% of the role will remain hands-on technical work, with the remainder focused on engineering leadership, mentoring, delivery, and cross-functional collaboration.

What you’ll do

Set and own the technical direction for enterprise applications - leading architecture reviews, solution design, and proof-of-concepts across Salesforce, Intapp DealCloud, and related platforms while staying close enough to the work to remove blockers and solve the hardest problems alongside your team. Define engineering standards, coding guidelines, and development best practices, and hold the organization to them - including CI/CD, automated testing, DevSecOps, observability, and a production support model with clear SLAs and root cause accountability. Champion AI-assisted development as a daily practice, lead proof-of-concepts for emerging technologies, and build reusable frameworks that accelerate delivery across the portfolio. Partner with product specialists and functional architects during discovery to translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions - and provide technical leadership across the organization's most complex cross-functional initiatives. Coach and develop engineers at every level through active involvement in their technical growth, manage capacity across concurrent initiatives, and build a team culture defined by ownership, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence.

What you’ll need

Proven experience as a senior technical leader in a complex enterprise applications environment, with a track record of setting architecture direction and staying hands-on in delivery - not just managing people. Deep Salesforce development experience, including platform architecture, integrations, and customizations; familiarity with Intapp DealCloud or a comparable CRM platform is a plus. Strong DevOps foundations: CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, release management, observability tooling, and a working knowledge of DevSecOps practices. Experience integrating AI tooling into engineering workflows and a genuine interest in pushing further - this team is expected to lead by example on AI-assisted development. The communication range to work across audiences - as comfortable driving an architecture decision with senior engineers as explaining a technical trade‑off to a business leader.

What you will gain

At Intapp, you’ll get the opportunity to bring your talents and intellectual curiosity to create better outcomes for our people and our clients. You’ll be part of a growing public company, with a modern work environment that’s connected yet flexible and where your professional growth and well‑being are top priorities. We’ll collaborate and grow together, supporting each other in a positive, open atmosphere that fosters creativity, innovation, and teamwork. Here, you will have the opportunity to:

• Expand Your Skills: Unlock your potential with professional development opportunities supported by a community of experienced professionals. We offer reimbursement for training and continuing education to help you stay ahead in your career.
• Enjoy Where You Work: Thrive in our modern, open offices designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. Our complimentary lunches and fully stocked kitchens ensure you have everything you need to stay energized throughout the day.
• Support What Matters Most: Our comprehensive wellness and flexible time off programs and our benefits are designed to care for you and your family. Our family‑formation benefits and support during your family‑building journey ensure you have the resources you need when it matters most.
• We believe in giving back and supporting our communities with paid volunteer time off and a donation matching program for the causes you care about.
