Opening Paragraph:

The Emergency Preparedness & Response (EP&R;) team builds the systems that keep critical operations running when it matters most. When storms and severe weather threaten communities and infrastructure across the US, our platform enables customers to rapidly procure, mobilize, and manage the workforce needed to respond to and recover from storm damage — often under tight timelines and high-stakes conditions. We are looking for a Principal Engineer who is deeply hands-on, works backward from customer pain points and business needs, and measures success by impact rather than lines of code shipped. You will be the technical anchor of the team: a backend-heavy full-stack engineer who knows our systems inside and out, reasons rigorously about trade-offs, and raises the engineering bar for everyone around you while leading the team toward outcomes that genuinely matter.





Duties & Responsibilities:
- Own the technical vision and architecture for EP&R; systems, ensuring they are highly available, resilient, and easy to operate during peak-demand emergency events.
- Work backward from customer pain points and business goals to define the right problems to solve before writing a single line of code.
- Stay deeply hands-on — design, build, review, and debug across the stack (backend-heavy, with full-stack breadth) while setting the standard for engineering quality.
- Break down ambiguous, complex problems into well-scoped, achievable pieces that the team can execute against with clarity.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers; set technical direction, unblock people, and cultivate a culture of ownership and high standards.
- Design with non-functional requirements front of mind — availability, scalability, latency, reliability, cost, and maintainability — and hold the team ac
