We’re using React, Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, CQRS, and event sourcing. As a Principal Engineer, you’ll drive complex feature development, set technical standards, and ensure our systems are scalable, secure, and maintainable.

• Designing and coding features end-to-end, from front-end components to backend APIs and data layers.
• Reviewing pull requests and contributing high-quality, scalable code across the stack.
• Troubleshooting complex issues in production and guiding incident response when needed.
• Set technical direction through architecture discussions, coding standards, and best practices.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineers to deliver solutions that balance technical and business needs.
• Operate with minimal supervision, driving complex initiatives from design through delivery.
• Troubleshoot, optimize, and improve performance, scalability, and reliability of systems.
Requirements
• 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with deep expertise in full-stack development.
• 4+ years of experience with React (Next.js), Nest.js (or Express.js), GraphQL, Docker
• Deep expertise in modern front-end technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience with back-end technologies, including SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and API design.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, particularly patterns like CQRS and event sourcing.
• Proven experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and building scalable, production-grade solutions.
• Strong foundation in software engineering principles such as data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design.
• Excellent communicator who thrives in fast-paced environments, balancing priorities with strong organizational skills and a growth mindset
• Proficient in spoken and written English, capable of communicating clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
Nice to have
• Hands-on experience with Tailwind CSS, D3.js, Angular, and AG Grid for building rich and performant user interfaces.
• Working knowledge of DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines, with familiarity in modern tools and automation processes.
• Exposure to AI/ML integration, data pipelines, or advanced analytics systems.
