Job Description
Principal Software Engineer
Victory Live
• Set engineering direction across teams. • Guide decisions on systems, languages, frameworks, and patterns. • Lead our largest, most complex initiatives such as multi-team initiatives and business critical strategic imperatives. • Partner with Architects, the Head of Product Engineering, and the executive team on long-range platform strategy. • Define and evolve best practices across teams. • Drive adoption and improvement, not solely documentation. • Be the org's AI engineering thought leader. • Solve the technical problems no one else can crack. • Develop engineers into stronger team members and contributors.
Job Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of cross-team technical leadership at growth-stage or larger companies.
- Demonstrated impact on architecture and engineering practice at the org level — not just on a single team.
- Deep technical breadth: backend systems, API design, data, infrastructure, and at least one of web/mobile/platform.
- Track record of introducing AI/ML or AI-assisted-development tooling into production engineering workflows and measurably improving developer productivity or code quality.
- Excellent written communication as your design docs, RFCs, and postmortems should set the standard for the org.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and a bias toward structured execution over analysis paralysis.
Benefits
- A lean team where decisions move fast and your code reaches real fans, often the same week.
- Every release has stakes. Every improvement is felt. High expectations, low tolerance for politics, and a culture built on writing well and shipping with care.
- We write code that is clean, tested, and maintainable. We build sustainable processes so no one burns out or becomes a single point of failure.
