Principal Software Engineer

Who we are

Government contractors use our services to prepare for CMMC assessments and NIST 800-171 compliance. Identity and access management projects, mostly Okta and Entra ID rollouts, have been part of the business since 2019.

The role

Looking for a Principal Software Engineer who wants to stay somewhere for a while. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Remote within Nepal. The team meets in Lalitpur once a quarter, travel covered. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday.

In your first few months you will

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.

Nice to have

• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
