Principal Software Engineer

This remote Principal Software Engineer seat at Pinterest pays $127,000 - $191,000 and comes with a backlog of genuinely interesting technology problems. The offer reads simply — remote, $127,000 - $191,000, 10 years, and a principal role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

• Calm under the endlessly-iterating chaos a principal role tends to generate
• 9 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• Roughly 9+ years operating in a similar Principal Software Engineer position
• Fluency across Ruby and RabbitMQ, with strong opinions on both
• A knack for .NET Core that colleagues quietly come to rely on
