We are seeking a Senior Principal Engineer to join our Lexio product development team. Lexio combines data analysis, natural language generation, and an intuitive user experience to reimagine Business Intelligence. A person who is great for this role is someone who uses creativity and innovation to make Lexio better for the end-user every day. 

We expect that all engineers can work full-stack to some degree, but we also know that most engineers have a primary focus.  You will have technical ownership over significant parts of the Lexio codebase. You will be challenged with a diverse set of projects including  greenfield product development and system-level platform improvements.

While technical work will be your primary focus, a person for this role has to be a problem solver at their core.  You have to be a collaborator who is energized by working with the entire spectrum of the Lexio team; engineering, product, design, customer success, and go-to-market. You need to be hungry to build something great and resilient to the fact that customer and user needs often change.  You take delight in:

• Working on unique technical problems in the emerging field of data storytelling
• Working in small teams to efficiently design and build solutions to novel problems
• Mentoring people and believing that a great product comes from great team collaboration

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software development experience
• Proven expertise of Python or equivalent
• Experience with Unix / Linux systems (e.g. Ubuntu, CentOS, RedHat, etc.)
• Familiarity with cloud computing, particularly AWS
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, helpfully-commented and readable code
• A drive to learn constantly with an analytical and problem-solving mindset
• A passion for growing as an engineer and helping others grow
• Experience with owning a technical roadmap, defining developer standards, and promoting best practices across the engineering organization 
• A knack for debugging unfamiliar problems 
• Proven experience dealing with ambiguity

Bonus

• Experience with statistics and/or machine learning
• Experience building modern front-apps (e.g. React/Redux, Angular, Vue)
