About the Principal Engineer Role
As a Principal Engineer on the Web API side, you will be driving the next-generation API platform for the entirety of the company; this is a leadership role involving direct ownership and technical supervision of global distributed engineering teams, including engineers in Ukraine and the U.S.
You will be working on a team of passionate engineers who built a technology that drove massive scale, multiple successful fundraises, and unique customers, and taking it to the next level.
About You
There isn’t an engineering task that is not possible, too complex, or otherwise unattainable. You break it down and find ways to reach the goals through simplification and focus.
You look for simple solutions to hard problems, enable people around you to succeed and optimize processes. You are an excellent troubleshooter, clear communicator, and you are not afraid to think big and push the industry forward by bringing your experience to the team.
You teach others, take ownership, drive results, and take pride in your work, and the work of your team.
You may have worked abroad in international companies, led engineering teams, and are looking for a place where you can be empowered to deliver real results at an extremely high scale.
