Principal Software Engineer, P1 & Engineering Strategy

Platform Architecture & Technical Leadership

Full-Stack Product Development

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Mentorship

Experience & Technical Depth

Soft Skills & Values

• Owners mindset : you are energized by ambiguity, take initiative without being asked, and feel personal ownership over outcomes — not just outputs.
• Clear communicator : you can translate complex technical tradeoffs for product partners, write crisp design docs, and give feedback that makes engineers better.
• Systems thinker : you see how architectural decisions today create optionality or debt tomorrow, and you make those tradeoffs consciously.
• Builder's patience : zero-to-one work is non-linear. You understand that the path to a great product involves iteration, dead ends, and genuine collaboration — and you thrive in that environment.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with visual or low-code editing interfaces (page builders, WYSIWYG editors, drag-and-drop component systems).
• Familiarity with CMS architectures — headless, hybrid, or traditional — and their tradeoffs in real-world deployments.
• Experience building developer-facing platforms or extension systems (SDKs, plugin APIs, CLI tooling).
• Contributions to open-source projects in the web platform or developer tooling ecosystem.
