Description

Job Summary
We are seeking an exceptional Principal Engineer to serve as a technical advisor and problem-solver for our diverse client base. This role requires technical versatility to support both early-stage startups needing hands-on implementation and larger enterprises requiring strategic direction. You'll diagnose technical challenges, unblock teams, and collaborate with client leadership to align technology approaches with business objectives. We value pragmatic architecture that prioritises simplicity, maintainability, and business outcomes over unnecessary complexity—advocating for well-designed monoliths when appropriate and avoiding vendor lock-in.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as a technical advisor to clients, diagnosing and resolving complex challenges impacting team productivity or project success
  • Adapt your approach based on client size and maturity - providing hands-on coding support for smaller clients while focusing on architecture and governance for larger enterprises
  • Work directly with client executives to translate business requirements into pragmatic technical strategies
  • Establish technical standards, best practices, and architectural principles that promote scalability and maintainability
  • Evaluate existing systems, identifying technical debt and developing remediation strategies
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to distributed engineering teams
  • Design and implement improvements to development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and developer experience
  • Lead technical discovery sessions and architectural reviews with client teams
  • Develop risk management frameworks and incident response processes
  • Advocate for and implement security best practices across client technical ecosystems
  • Facilitate communication between technical teams and business stakeholders
  • Collaborate with existing technical leadership while respecting their decision-making authority
  • Ensure knowledge transfer to client teams for long-term sustainability
  • Interview and qualify candidates for internal and external teams

Requirements

Technical Skills

  • Demonstrated proficiency in .NET/C# as well as other programming languages
  • Experience with modern frontend frameworks and libraries (React, Angular, Vue, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of backend technologies, API design, and database systems (both SQL and NoSQL)
  • Expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), infrastructure-as-code practices, and Linux system administration
  • Knowledge of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience with both monolithic and distributed architectural patterns, with the wisdom to know when each is appropriate
  • Knowledge of infrastructure options across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments
  • Understanding of security best practices and compliance requirements
  • Ability to evaluate technology choices based on total cost of ownership, not just initial implementation

Required Skills

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a senior technical leadership role
  • Proven experience working directly with business stakeholders to develop technical strategy
  • Deep expertise in software architecture, system design, and technical standards development
  • Experience leading distributed teams and working in cross-cultural environments
  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms, infrastructure architecture, and scalable systems
  • Problem-solving mindset with a track record of unblocking teams and resolving technical impediments
  • Excellent communication skills, with ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
  • Experience with stakeholder management and communication
  • Experience assessing and rescuing over-engineered/troubled systems/projects

Preferred Skills

  • Track record of successfully simplifying complex systems and reducing technical complexity
  • Experience working across multiple industries and technology stacks
  • Demonstrated ability to balance future flexibility with current simplicity
  • Background in building sustainable architecture that doesn't require constant maintenance
  • Experience in mentoring and upskilling offshore/distributed engineering teams
  • Understanding of cross-cultural communication dynamics in technical environments

Benefits

  • Flexibility in work hours and location, with a focus on managing energy rather than time.
  • Access to online learning platforms and a budget for professional development
  • A collaborative, no-silos environment, encouraging learning and growth across teams
  • A dynamic social culture with team lunches, social events, and opportunities for creative input
  • Private Health insurance.

If you possess the required skills and are eager to contribute to our team's success, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. Apply now
