The Job

As a Principal Engineer, you will serve as a key technical advisor and architect for our engineering organization.

You will spend your time navigating ambiguous challenges, becoming deeply familiar with our AWS/Kotlin/React ecosystem, and partnering with teams to overcome their toughest challenges during our high growth phase.

Who You Are

• You are an Influencer: You proactively research emerging technologies and drive technical direction by crafting compelling RFCs; building consensus across teams rather than using top-down authority.
• You are a Technical Diplomat: You act as a consultant to individuals and teams, helping them navigate complex technical decisions and moderating high-stakes discussions.
• You are a Builder: You aren't looking for a pre-written manual. You enjoy starting with a blank slate and creating a culture of quality.
• You Value Impact Over Activity: You want to deliver architectural solutions that result in faster, safer deployments and a better experience for our end users.
• You are an AI Native: You don't just use AI; you understand how it transforms the SDLC. You are passionate about helping others adopt AI-assisted workflows to move faster with confidence.

Experience You'll Need

• Proven ability to lead through influence: Extensive prior experience as a Lead or Principal Engineer with a track record of driving significant, company-wide technical initiatives.
• Technical Breadth: Strong proficiency in our core stack: Kotlin (JVM), React (TypeScript), AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), and various relational and NoSQL databases.
• Scaling: Proven experience with large, globally scaled distributed systems.
• AI First: Professional experience integrating AI/LLMs into internal developer workflows as well as user-facing product features.
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on platform architecture and developer experience.
• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.

Experience That's a Plus

• Global Collaboration: Experience working with international teams and leading complex technical projects in partnership with third-party agencies.
• Security & Compliance: Familiarity with SOC2 requirements and integrating security-minded checks into the testing lifecycle.
• Domain Knowledge: Experience working in either (or both) the solar industry and building software for an O&M (Operations & Maintenance) company.
