Job Summary :

If you're the kind of engineer who can turn an idea into an MVP in days or weeks, not months or years, we want you.

If youre craving innovation, passionate about complex problem-solving, and unafraid of work stress, youre in the right place.

We are building cutting-edge products on the latest tech stacks - and were moving fast.

This is your opportunity to make a tangible impact, at scale, where speed and innovation truly matter.

About The Role :

As a Principal Engineer, you will be a technical powerhouse, a strategic thought partner, and a hands-on builder.

Youll lead architecture decisions, mentor talented engineers, and deliver world-class products that redefine how governments serve their communities.

We're looking for someone who is energized by ownership, thrives under pressure, and believes that delivering customer value now is better than delivering perfection later.

Youll be empowered to experiment, iterate, and ship - fast.

What You'll Do :

- Architect and deliver cloud-native, scalable, secure SaaS applications.

- Code hands-on and push MVPs to production in days or weeks, not months.

- Drive technical excellence setting high standards for code quality, scalability, and performance.

- Solve hard problems at speed - with creativity, pragmatism, and relentless focus on outcomes.

- Collaborate deeply with product, design, and business teams to drive innovation from ideation to launch.

- Mentor and inspire senior engineers, cultivating a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

- Champion modernization - bringing new tools, frameworks, and ideas to keep us on the leading edge.

What We're Looking For :

- 10+ years of experience designing and building distributed, cloud-native systems at scale.

- Fluent in modern programming languages such as Node, Java, Go, Python, or similar.

- Deep hands-on experience with AWS (or major cloud providers), Kubernetes, Docker, and modern DevOps practices.

- Proven track record of shipping products quickly and building MVPs that evolve into production-grade systems.

- Strong architecture chops, balanced by a bias for action and a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality.

- Excellent communicator and collaborator - you bridge the gap between tech, product, and business.

- Passionate about building systems that are not just high-performing but meaningful for society.

Bonus Points :

- Experience in SaaS, GovTech, or regulated environments.

- Expertise in security, compliance (FedRAMP, SOC 2), or public-sector tech.

- Interest in data platforms, AI/ML applications, or citizen engagement solutions
