Job description
Job Category: Global IT Job Family: Software Development & Engineering
Job Description: The Principal Software Engineer is the senior technical leader and supply chain domain expert on the US Supply Chain Fusion Team, acting as a critical technical bridge between supply chain business operations and core IT solutions. This role powers the IT solutions behind demand planning, procurement, inventory management, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing logistics. The Principal Software Engineer spends roughly half of their time on technical strategy, architecture, governance, and Agile leadership, and half on highly complex technical execution across production support and projects. As AI capabilities mature, the role is increasingly hybrid, combining engineering, business analysis, and deep domain expertise. The position works within an Agile Fusion Team alongside the Digital Product Manager, Digital Product Owner, and IT Global Delivery Leader.
This role offers a flexible hybrid work schedule (Monday-Friday) located at our Home Office in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The hybrid work schedule is 3 days/week onsite at Home Office and 2 days/week from home.
Receive a $10,000 relocation bonus PLUS a generous relocation package if relocating more than 50 miles for this position.
You’ll find lots to love in our beautiful home office in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Vendor & System Integration: Interface with external software vendors and internal enterprise systems to address product defects, implement platform upgrades, and manage custom API/interface developments.
Strategic Influence: Initiate, lead, recommend, and implement technical strategies for supply chain systems; work with architects to implement technical architecture roadmaps and standardize and modernize solutions (Cloud, AI, automation); present complex technical information to non‑technical business partners and senior leadership; and create key decision documents.
