📋 Description

• 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.
