Job Description
Principal Engineer / Technical Executive
WOW Remote Teams
Role Description This is a remote position. Our client is looking for a Principal Engineer / Technical Executive to take full ownership of their technical ecosystem — from architecture decisions to hands-on execution across the entire stack. They operate in a high-growth tech environment, having rapidly evolved their product capabilities and infrastructure over recent years while pushing forward in AI-driven innovation. This is not a traditional leadership role. They need someone who builds, ships, fixes, and scales — all in real time. The ideal candidate combines the strategic thinking of a CTO with the execution speed of a senior engineer who still loves writing code daily. - Deliver end-to-end features across frontend, backend, database, workflows, and AI systems without relying on handoffs - Make and implement key architectural decisions including system design, data structures, caching, and infrastructure setup - Own production systems, diagnosing and resolving issues across servers, APIs, queues, and databases - Lead AI integration initiatives, from experimentation to production-ready deployment - Build and optimize data pipelines, model inference systems, and GPU-based workflows - Design and maintain payment systems, subscription logic, and financial workflows - Develop across all layers including UI components, APIs, testing, and deployment scripts - Set engineering standards through high-quality code, testing, and documentation - Support and mentor engineers across different areas of the stack Qualifications - Advanced experience with modern JavaScript frameworks and backend technologies - Strong knowledge of database design and optimization - Experience with infrastructure management, including Linux environments and networking - Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and model deployment strategies - Ability to evaluate tradeoffs and make pragmatic technical decisions - Strong ownership mindset and problem-solving approach Requirements - 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building production systems - Strong full-stack expertise including frontend, backend, databases, and infrastructure - Proven experience integrating AI/ML models into live production environments - Experience building or managing systems that handle financial transactions - Deep understanding of system reliability, debugging, and performance optimization - Experience scaling systems under real user traffic and growth conditions - Ability to move quickly across multiple layers of a system without dependency on specialists Benefits - Full-time position - 100% remote work environment - High-impact role with ownership over technical direction - Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI and scalable systems - Fast-paced, high-growth environment with strong learning opportunities
