What you’ll do
TLDR: You establish a vision and execute it by coding and being an example for the rest of the development team!
As Principal Software Engineer, it is your job to define targets and outline the way to get there for technology initiatives. You do so by ensuring the product is functional, of high quality, and architecturally sound. You are fully aware of what falls behind if you act short-term. Therefore, you weigh the decision prior to acting upon it. You clearly outline the complexity of tasks to the team and how to approach the upcoming challenges best. This includes regular coding and a deep understanding of how the overall system works and all components interact with each other. You provide clarity within the team and with our customers to a complex and interconnected system. As a Principal Software Engineer, you provide the vision for major parts of the system both in implementation, architectural design, and user API experience. You develop such a deep understanding that if somebody wants to know how to do things right they come to you for answers. You are not limited to specific technologies or frameworks but focus on solving problems. Your job includes having discussions, hands-on implementation, testing, and deploying new functionality to production. You’ll be an example to your fellow Engineers in both code quality and personal interaction. You demonstrate smart ways on how to use DRIVR and how to extend it to be the best fit for various customers’ use cases.
