Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Principal Software Engineer - **Company:** Foundant Technologies - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Flutter, Java (Programming Language), Architectural Patterns, C Sharp (Programming Language), Python (Programming Language), Node.Js, Software Engineering, TypeScript, ReactJS - **Published:** August 24, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=92d8c81ca8cdcf6e ## About the Role * 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant time at a principal, staff, or equivalent senior individual contributor level. * Demonstrated mastery of architectural patterns and the judgment to know which apply in a given context, at both the application and service level. * Deep expertise in one or two of the technologies in our stack, with the ability to become productive in the others. Our environment includes Java, C#, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python, and Flutter. * Proven experience owning production services, including reliability, performance, and incident response. * Professional experience using AI-assisted development tools in production work. Foundant uses Claude Code; deep expertise with a comparable tool is acceptable. * Experience diagnosing complex issues that span multiple components, services, or teams. * Must be legally eligible to work in the United States or Canada. ## Description This role has two centers of gravity. You'll be dispatched into product teams to help design and implement solutions, solve hard engineering problems, and you'll own the shared services that every one of our products depends on. * You'll embed with product teams across our portfolio to take on their hardest technical problems, and you'll deliver working code - not just direction. This is a hands-on role at every level of seniority it carries. * You'll own architectural decisions at both the application and service level, making calls that hold up under real production load and remain understandable to the engineers who inherit them. * You'll own oversight of changes to Foundant's shared services, along with their ongoing production care and feeding. * You'll diagnose systemic and architectural issues that cross component and service boundaries, including the ambiguous ones where the cause isn't in any single team's code. * You'll lead solution design on significant initiatives, bringing a small group of engineers along with clear, well-articulated direction rather than handing down a finished answer. * You'll set the standard for how AI-assisted development is used well at Foundant - where generation accelerates the work, where it needs a harder look, and how teams around you can raise their own bar. * You'll move fluidly across products, domains, and service boundaries, leaving each team better equipped than you found it. * Other duties as assigned. ## Related Videos - [Intro to Flutter Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/170-intro-to-flutter-development) - [Flutter Packages and Plugins - A Look Under the Hood](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/555-flutter-packages-and-plugins-a-look-under-the-hood) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
