Road Map  

The Principal Software Engineer is a senior technical leader embedded in our agile development organization, driving the architecture and delivery of our next-gen compliance platform. This is a hands-on leadership role — you will own technical direction, mentor and lead a team of 3–4 developers, and contribute meaningfully at the individual contributor level. The ideal candidate brings 10–15+ years of full-stack experience, thrives in fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environments, and has a track record of leading distributed, multi-timezone teams. 

You will be expected to think beyond your immediate team. As a member of our Team Leads Team, you will collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering leaders, share learnings, and help shape engineering culture and practice across the broader organization. 

What Your Ride Will Look Like  

Technical Leadership 

  • Architect, write, and maintain reusable, testable, and efficient code (Clean Code / SOLID principles). 
  • Design and implement low-latency, high-availability, and performant applications across the full stack. 
  • Lead front-end (Vue/Vuex) and back-end (.NET) development, setting patterns and standards for the team. 
  • Own SQL database architecture and query performance across your team’s domains. 
  • Drive adoption of microservice and micro front-end architecture best practices. 
  • Share in DevOps responsibilities and champion observability tooling and practices. 
  • Participate in and often facilitate agile (Scrum/Kanban) ceremonies for your team. 

Team Leadership & People Development 

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 3–4 developers, providing technical direction, code review, and career guidance. 
  • Navigate ambiguity and fast-changing priorities — helping your team stay focused and effective when requirements shift. 
  • Manage and coordinate across multiple time zones, ensuring remote team members are included, unblocked, and aligned. 
  • Build and sustain a strong remote team culture through intentional relationship-building, async communication practices, and virtual team rituals. 
  • Organize and run effective remote ceremonies — standups, retros, and planning sessions — that create genuine connection and accountability. 

Organizational Influence 

  • Team Leads Team — participate actively in this cross-team leadership forum where engineering leads share learnings, align on practices, and collectively influence engineering culture beyond their own teams. 
  • Bring insights from your team’s work and challenges to the broader group, and apply lessons from peers back to your team. 
  • Help identify and resolve systemic issues — tooling gaps, process bottlenecks, knowledge silos — that affect multiple teams. 

Show Off What You Have  

10+ years of experience required; 15+ years strongly preferred. Experience must span both technical depth and team leadership.  

Leadership & Collaboration (Required) 

  • Proven experience leading a team of developers in a remote or hybrid environment 
  • Experience managing or collaborating across multiple time zones 
  • Strong async communication skills — comfortable with written documentation, structured async workflows, and remote-first practices 
  • Ability to operate and deliver in fast-paced, ambiguous environments without loss of quality or team morale 
  • Experience facilitating cross-team engineering forums, communities of practice, or similar leadership collaboration 

 Front End 

Development 

  • Vue.js 2 or 3 / Vuetify / Vuex / Webpack 

Testing 

  • Jest / Vitest 

Tooling 

  • VS Code

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
