As a Principal Software Engineer for Power and Energy Transition (PET), you will be one of the most senior individual contributors on the engineering team, driving technical direction, solving complex challenges, and raising the bar for software quality across the PET product suite. You will partner with Engineering Directors and Product Management to shape the technical roadmap, mentor fellow engineers, and deliver reliable, scalable, and secure capabilities that create measurable customer value.
This role is fully remote.
What you'll do
- Technical Leadership and Delivery
Lead design and implementation of major features and system improvements, owning complex cross-cutting problems from investigation to production.
Deliver production-grade code across the full stack and set a high bar through architecture reviews and code reviews.
Champion best practices in testing, observability, CI/CD, and operational readiness; drive targeted technical debt reduction.
Provide expert guidance on production incidents and complex engineering challenges.
- Mentorship and cross-functional collaboration
Mentor engineers at all levels through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on pairing; contribute to hiring and technical bar-setting.
Collaborate with Product Management to factor technical considerations into roadmap planning and communicate complex topics clearly to stakeholders.
Technical Environment
Our PET product stack includes:
- Web frontend (ReactJS/TypeScript)
- Backend services across Node JS
- Data Ingestion pipelines using Databricks and Python
- CI/CD across GitHub/Bitbucket with Jenkins/Atlassian pipelines; SOC compliance expectations
What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 monts)
- Tangible technical impact across key PET product areas — measurable improvements in reliability, performance, or developer productivity.
- Trusted technical voice: teams seek your input on complex design and architecture decisions.
- Visible mentorship impact: engineers you work with grow in technical skills and engineering practices.
Required Experience and Skills
- 8+ years of software engineering experience delivering complex, production-grade systems at scale.
- Strong hands-on expertise in one or more PET stack technologies: Python , TypeScript/Angular, RDBMS, or AWSProven ability to lead technical design and architecture across multi-component systems.
- Strong code quality discipline, testing culture, and track record of operational best practices.Clear communicator able to convey technical depth to both engineering peers and non-technical stakeholders.
- This is partly an implementation role. Person must want to (co)author, review work product and take ultimate responsibility of delivery.
- Somewhere in there, add "Experience building highly-scalable systems" (I'd like to see several "systems of systems" notches on their belt). As part of the "having personally built systems", this person would have personally written plenty code themselves and been exposed to reading and writing multiple, large code repositories. Lots of training time.
- Role requires being able to think about complex systems at all levels (architect systems, design sub-systems and implementation details)
- 1+ years experience working weekly with Kubernetes and a cloud platform (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure).
Preferred Qualifications
High-performance computing (HPC)
Algorithmic and implementation optimization
Working knowledge of power markets
