Job description

Principal Software Engineer (Application Engineer) - Remote

Employment Type: Full-time

Invisible Technologies offers unusual services (a combination of outsourcing and automation) to fast‑scaling, innovative companies. Each company uses our services in a variety of ways. It’s critical we can communicate to segments of users with visually appealing, and highly communicative assets. You’re helping us explain the benefits of our product in a way that words alone never could.

Principal engineers at Invisible can follow multiple paths. Some of our principal engineers are technical leads of teams and are responsible for people‑management of those teams. They oversee the technical vision for their area and ensure that there is proper mentorship.

Other principal engineers lead through technical initiatives. These engineers oversee broad multi‑team technical initiatives and own parts of our software stack (e.g., principal engineers might research and roll out new technical frameworks or might develop a new generation of our UI component library).

Qualifications & Responsibilities

• Significant experience developing applications in team environments.
• Ability to work well with Product Managers to develop technical specifications for large projects with complex scope.
• Ability to research and synthesize new technologies (frameworks, libraries, techniques) and explain and evangelize them to more junior engineers.
• Experience using React for frontend development (we use React, Next.js, and Prisma).
• Backend language experience including Node, Python (Flask/Django/etc.), Ruby on Rails, Symphony, etc.
• Strong understanding of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.).
