About the Role
As a Principal Software Engineer, you’ll join a collaborative, cross-functional team working to enhance and expand our AI-driven contract management platform. You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers, data scientists, and designers to help deliver scalable, user-centric solutions that transform how legal and business teams manage their contracts.
Your technical contributions and team-first mindset will play a key role in delivering high-impact products that scale our AI capabilities and help global organizations simplify complex business processes. You’ll collaborate with engineering, data science, product, and design teams to build and evolve our vision, strategy, and roadmap.
What You'll Do
- Participate in a supportive, iterative team culture that values curiosity, learning, and strong engineering practices.
- Contribute to the growth and success of your teammates through knowledge sharing and mentorship.
- Take ownership of multiple functional areas in our platform — from development to production (“you build it, you run it”).
What We're Looking For
- We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive.
- 12+ years of experience in software engineering.
- 8+ years experience with a web development framework (Flask, Django, FastAPI, NestJS, Sprint Boot, Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, etc.).
- 8+ years with PostgreSQL DB and SQL.
- Familiarity with Elasticsearch.
- Hands-on experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Proven success working within fast-paced, agile environments and cross-functional teams.
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and translating complex problems into clear, thoughtful solutions.
- Knowledge of software development best practices (DevOps, CI/CD, automated testing, observability).
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with both technical and non-technical partners.
- Familiarity with the tradeoffs and architecture of modern distributed systems.
- Experience building and operating SaaS products in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
- Committed to fostering an inclusive, team-oriented environment and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.
- Exposure to additional programming languages like Java (backend) and TypeScript (frontend/fullstack) is a plus.
