What you will do
The impact you'll have
As a Principal Engineer in the Boost team, you'll be part of a group of principal engineers who champion technical excellence. The team acts as an enabling function, not a delivery arm. You will embed in other teams to help them improve and work faster. You will be hands-on, leading by example, and coaching others to drive technical excellence and innovation across the company. Your success will be measured by how you help others succeed.
Your responsibilities include
- Own the team's functional KPIs, defining the measurable outcomes that show our impact.
- Help mission teams deliver faster, safer solutions by solving complex problems and training others to do the same.
- Champion AI adoption, applying it to both engineering processes and solutions.
- Coach our engineers, guiding their growth.
- Build tools to make the Boost team more effective and improve platform governance.
We are looking for a candidate with strong front-end skills. You will work across the various tech systems within our platform and be confident in your ability to quickly learn new technologies. We value an agile mindset, and a proven track record of delivery with teams.
