Principal Software Engineer roles & responsibilities
A Principal Engineer is often the top of the technical ladder in many companies. Principal Engineers are responsible for macro scale architecture of a software technology or product line, and providing guidance and oversight to multiple development teams working on different products or technologies to ensure that the technologies inter-operate or connect to each other appropriately.
The Principal Software Engineer will be accountable for resolving complex problems that impact design success of at least one or more, current or developing products. The principal Software Engineer will lead the research, design, definition and implementation of software solutions based on architecture conceived.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities:
1) Participate in multi-disciplinary projects designs, develops and implements software applications and solutions in conjunction with the Product Management
2) Mentor the team of developers and interact with testing team for new software applications and solutions.
3) Builds and assembles prototype assimilations of software applications and solutions as directed.
4) Development and testing of software applications and solutions that includes writing code, debugging issues and testing of the completed work products which are of High quality, scalable and extensible within the specified timeline
5) Contributes to code reviews
6) Lead the research and development initiatives to implement Customer/ Partner driven product features for improved product usage and promotion.
7) Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
8) Leads a project or project section as required. In addition, reviews projects against goals and provides status reports internally to the scrum team.
9) Advises management and SCRUM team on technical problems and direction.
10) Identify and define teams growing set of development platforms, tools, and processes
11) Identify architectural requirements and potential improvements and discuss them within engineering teams.
12) Participate in all phases of Agile development methodology.
13) Participate in interviewing and hiring practices as directed and advised by management team
14) Mentor software engineers and senior software engineers on technical challenges, best practices and processes.
15) Retain and keep appraised of industry intelligence, changes in the market place and trend analysis of visionary usage and opportunity for current and new products relating to support software.
