• Mentor newer principal hires on how Property Partners Inc actually wires GitLab CI together
• Apply Django and Node.js to solve people-first engineering challenges
• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Lead technical design reviews for principal technology initiatives
• Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Property Partners Inc's growing user base

What You'll Bring

• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• A collaborator who makes the principal review feel less like an exam
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Proven leadership experience guiding principal-level initiatives
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• 9 years of Multitasking práctica, plus a hunger for what's next

The scrappy team behind Property Partners Inc chose Lafayette on purpose, betting that great technology work doesn't need a coastal zip code. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.

We pair $121,000 - $189,000 with a seasoned mentor, so your People Management sharpens fast while the benefits quietly take care of everything else.

This one is current, freshly dated, and very much hiring.
