One Redwood • Make Your Own Weather • Obsess over Customer Success • Work the Problem • Be Curious • Own the Outcome • Respect Each Other YOUR IMPACT As a Principal Software Engineer, you will be a senior technical leader and strategic influencer shaping Redwood’s RunMyJobs platform. You will drive high-impact technical decisions, own complex system designs, and lead initiatives that span teams and domains. Your work will translate business needs into scalable, resilient full-stack solutions that meet both functional and non-functional requirements. In this fast-paced, agile environment, you will lead projects from concept through delivery, collaborating closely with product, design, engineering, finance, and customer success teams to ensure alignment and success. You will set the standard for engineering excellence by mentoring engineers at all levels and championing a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and technical rigor. A key part of this role is to ensure development teams follow best practices, coding standards, and technical requirements. You will provide hands-on technical guidance and architectural direction, including code and design reviews, while creating and maintaining design and code standards. Understanding, communicating, and enforcing Redwood’s software architecture strategy will be fundamental.
