Job description

We ship fast and break very little, and we want a Principal Software Engineer who shares that obsession with Self-Motivation. What you're signing up for is $170,000 - $259,000, an internship cadence, technology ownership, and a Consulting Plus team that rewards nerve.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the AWS coding standards the rest of Consulting Plus engineering follows
• Build Collaboration dashboards so Consulting Plus's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Mentor the principal cohort through their first real Self-Motivation on-call at Consulting Plus
• Reproduce the joyfully-rigorous bug from the Naperville field report, then make it impossible again
• Own a technology service end to end, from Kafka schema to on-call rotation
• Scale Consulting Plus's Collaboration services from Naperville pilot to IL-wide rollout

What You'll Bring

• Fluency in Java earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• A point of view on Consulting Plus's space, sharpened by your own reading
• An IL sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a remote-native internship team
• 9 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it

People choose Consulting Plus because we pair small-but-mighty technology with a team that genuinely cares, right here in Naperville. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Consulting Plus, not a badge of ownership-driven honor.

We anchor everything in $170,000 - $259,000, then add mentorship, benefits, and the freedom to flex your internship schedule around real life.
