Job Details

As the Principal Engineer, you are a people-first leader who is deeply invested in the success of your team and the broader organization. You bring significant leadership and management experience within SaaS product environments, along with an engineering background that enables you to engage confidently in technical discussions without needing to be hands-on in the code every day.

You lead with a servant-leadership mindset, focused on helping your team do their best work, removing obstacles, and creating opportunities for others to grow. You are a highly effective collaborator and communicator who brings curiosity, energy, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning and applying emerging technologies.

Across complex, service-oriented industries, teams often spend significant time on repetitive operational work, including managing communications, answering routine questions, coordinating schedules, and completing standardized outreach and qualification activities.

You will lead an engineering organization responsible for building an AI-powered engagement platform, one of the company’s newest and most strategically important product initiatives. The team is developing an intelligent, voice- and messaging-enabled AI solution designed to manage standardized interactions, coordinate outreach, support scheduling, and automate routine engagement workflows at scale.

The team’s mission is to reduce administrative friction and return valuable time to frontline professionals, allowing them to focus more of their attention on complex, high-value work that requires human expertise and judgment.
