The Role:
As Principal Engineer, you'll lead the next stage of platform modernisation. Setting the technical direction, solve hard cross-system problems, and helping senior engineers make better decisions. It's a hands-on IC role for someone who leads through credibility, not authority.

- Drive improvements to CI/CD, observability, reliability, and developer productivity
- Champion practical AI adoption, including LLM integrations, RAG architectures, and responsible AI frameworks
- Contribute to hiring and engineering culture

What You Bring:

- 10+ years' engineering experience, including 3+ years in principal-level or senior technical IC roles
- Deep expertise in distributed systems, scalable architecture,



and reliability engineering
- Strong hands-on capability in C#., NET, and a modern JS framework (React, Next.js, or Angular)
- Cloud experience across Azure, AWS, or GCP
- Familiarity with SQL Server, Redis, Datadog, and LaunchDarkly
- Practical experience with AI-assisted dev tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude)
- Exposure to LLM APIs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic) and/or prompt engineering and RAG is a strong advantage

What's on Offer:

- Rem package: Up to $210K base + 8% bonus + super
- Hybrid working: 3-4 days in office per week
- 3 bonus days at Christmas + birthday leave + 2 volunteer days
- Up to 20 weeks paid parental leave + $3K return bonus + super on unpaid leave

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
