Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Principal Engineer to join our Lexio product development team. Lexio combines data analysis, natural language generation, and an intuitive user experience to reimagine Business Intelligence. A person who is great for this role is someone who uses creativity and innovation to make Lexio better for the end-user every day.
We expect that all engineers can work full-stack to some degree, but we also know that most engineers have a primary focus. You will have technical ownership over significant parts of the Lexio codebase. You will be challenged with a diverse set of projects including greenfield product development and system-level platform improvements.
While technical work will be your primary focus, a person for this role has to be a problem solver at their core. You have to be a collaborator who is energized by working with the entire spectrum of the Lexio team; engineering, product, design, customer success, and go-to-market. You need to be hungry to build something great and resilient to the fact that customer and user needs often change. You take delight in:
- Working on unique technical problems in the emerging field of data storytelling
- Working in small teams to efficiently design and build solutions to novel problems
- Mentoring people and believing that a great product comes from great team collaboration
Qualifications
- 7+ years of professional software development experience
- Proven expertise of Python or equivalent
- Experience with Unix / Linux systems (e.g. Ubuntu, CentOS, RedHat, etc.)
- Familiarity with cloud computing, particularly AWS
- Demonstrated ability to write clean, helpfully-commented and readable code
- A drive to learn constantly with an analytical and problem-solving mindset
- A passion for growing as an engineer and helping others grow
- Experience with owning a technical roadmap, defining developer standards, and promoting best practices across the engineering organization
- A knack for debugging unfamiliar problems
- Proven experience dealing with ambiguity
