Job Description
MCS Group is working exclusively with a fast-scaling software company in their search for a Principal Software Engineer. With significant investment onboard, our client is properly in scale up mode and plan to double their headcount by the end of 2025. This Principal Software Engineer opportunity will offer a senior technologist huge amounts of career progression, along with the chance to learn new technologies and contribute to a scaling SaaS product. Still very much an individual contributor (I'd see this as an 80/20 split between IC and technical leadership and coaching), you'll play a key part in this company's growth at a really exciting time for the business.
The Role
* The Principal Engineer will design and review system architecture and create technical solutions.
* You'll write and maintain high-quality, scalable code.
* You'll guide your small, but growing team in best practices and technical decisions.
* You'll support CI/CD, deployment processes, and production stability.
* You'll break down work, assign tasks, and track progress.
* You'll be passionate about removing blockers and ensure timely, high-quality delivery.
* Mentor and support team members' growth and performance and get involved in recruiting and onboarding as the engineering function grows.
Our client tech stack includes the following: PHP (Symfony), Angular, Typescript, AWS - brilliant if you have experience in working with these, but no issues if not. Our client's engineering team is made up of some brilliant software engineers already - and an ability to problem solve and work things out is the concurrent theme across the engineering organisation today.
If you're able to demonstrate a time when you've had to learn something new, pick up a new piece of technology and are interested in taking on a senior role in a scaling business, I'd encourage you to apply!
Salary
Up to £90,000 with package which includes share options and private medical.
