Principal Software Engineer

Jacksonville Data is hiring for the Principal Software Engineer role on our operations team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Please make sure you have dependable internet and backup power.

Responsibilities:

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.

Qualifications:

• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

What you get:

• Performance bonus.
• 24 days paid time off.
• Home office setup budget.
