Principal Software Engineer

We’re looking for a savvy developer to join our passionate engineering team as a Principal Software Engineer and help us scale and grow our cloud-based systems and technologies with a keen eye towards software quality and operational excellence.  As a tech “unicorn”, this is an amazing opportunity for the right person to play a major role in helping design and build essential core infrastructure of this pre-IPO software company, as we broaden our lead in the sales enablement space! 

As a Principal Software Engineer on our Content Foundation team, you will play a vital part in designing and evolving foundational models and services that several engineering teams are dependent on. You will collaborate to build micro-service based systems responsible for helping our customers share content and information. 

You will work closely with our product leads, engineering leads, and the other members of the team to continue the development of a best-in-class content and video platform responsible for enabling rendering, manipulating, editing, annotating, and viewing content.  As part of a platform team, you will work to both enable features requested by applications as well as push for the integration of new platform-first capabilities across the entire Seismic Sales Enablement Cloud.  This is an opportunity to work as an influential lead developer and make a difference at a mature, yet rapidly growing, tech company.

Who You Are: 

• An experienced software engineer with a passion for building and innovating. 
• Seen as a major contributor in the team problem-solving-process – you aren't afraid to share your opinions in a low-ego manner or roll up your sleeves and write critical path code, take on the refactoring of a significant piece of code.

• Demonstrated expertise in designing robust architectural solutions in a microservices ecosystem, with a focus and desire to continuously improve and advance innovation

• You enjoy solving challenging problems, all while having a blast with equally passionate and talented team members. 

What you will be doing: 

• Migrate important business functionality to a more robust design and ensure seamless integration to the rest of the Seismic platform. 
• Be a major player on a new engineering team, while driving technical and architectural decisions and collaborating across multiple remote teams. 
• Collaborate with technical product owners, architects, and other software engineers to rapidly build, test, and deploy code in the creation of a redesigned set of foundational core models and well-orchestrated services – allowing new features to be brought to the Seismic platform faster, without compromising robustness, quality or maintainability 
• Explore new technologies and industry trends and bring your findings to life in our products. 
• Participate in and champion best practices for code reviews, monitoring and alerting, automated testing, bug/issue triage, and documentation. 
• Contribute to troubleshooting and continuous quality improvements. 

What you bring to the team: 

• BS or MS in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience. 
• Minimum of 7 years of Software Development experience within a SaaS business.
