About You
We are looking for a deeply hands-on Principal Software Engineer to be the most senior technical individual contributor at Hi Rasmus. Reporting to our Director of Engineering, this is a role on our Principal track, a craft career path that sits alongside the management track rather than beneath it.
Where a Lead Software Engineer is the strongest technical contributor within one outcome team, the Principal Software Engineer works across all of them. You will help shape and evolve our platform architecture, strengthen shared technical practices, mentor Senior and Lead Engineers, and take on complex challenges that span teams or domains.
This is not an advisory role. You will work alongside teams in the code, helping solve difficult problems and piloting new tools, patterns, and practices through real work. Your goal is not to become a permanent escalation point, but to leave teams more capable of making strong technical decisions independently.
You lead through technical judgement, architecture, code review, collaboration and example rather than through reporting lines. Software Engineers sit in the outcome teams and report to their Lead Engineer. You will provide technical guidance and mentorship across teams, while people leadership, performance management, staffing and overall Engineering accountability remain with Lead Engineers and the Director of Engineering. As we scale, we are relying increasingly on AI and automation to improve engineering leverage. Working in partnership with the Director of Engineering and CTO, you will help translate our company and Engineering direction into sound architecture, modern technical practices, and durable internal capability.
