About the role
What will you do at AHEAD?
AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation. At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard.
We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD. We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived.
We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD. AHEAD is looking for an experienced Principal Engineer to help shape, build, and evolve the platforms that power our business. We’re a leading IT services provider, trusted by some of the world’s largest companies to design, build, run, and modernize their most important technology across cloud, data, AI, and security.
You’ll join an experienced engineering team that builds real products, adopts new tools early, sweats the details, and trades ideas constantly. Our current stack includes Next.js, JavaScript, Golang, dbt, Snowflake, and PostgreSQL. You’ll work across application, service, data, and platform layers, with the autonomy to make a visible impact on important enterprise systems.
This is a principal-level role for someone who can move comfortably between user needs, business outcomes, system architecture, implementation, and production support. We care about the depth of your engineering judgment more than a specific list of languages. Experience with equivalent technologies such as Java, C#, Python, Ruby, Elixir, Kotlin, or similar is welcome.
