Company Description

We're building a new AI-first planning and simulation product from the ground up, and we need a Principal Engineer with current, hands-on Angular experience at a senior/lead level this is non-negotiable. If your recent frontend work has been in React (even with Angular somewhere in your history), this role isn't the right fit, and your application won't move forward.

Backend language is flexible — Go, Python, Java or .NET/C# all count — but we do need genuine experience building AI-native user experiences: interfaces that generate themselves dynamically and respond to natural-language input, not just apps that call an AI API. This is enterprise SaaS work, not startup or greenfield-website territory, so a background in complex, data-heavy applications matters more than a trendy stack.

Job Description

We are seeking a Lead / Principal Engineer (Developer) to build a new planning and simulation product from scratch. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with a strong focus on frontend engineering, combined with the full-stack capability to contribute to backend services and architectural ownership across UI, data-heavy workflows, and integrations with backend APIs. 

You will work within a modern platform environment to deliver scalable, secure, and high-performance UI solutions, designing AI-first UI patterns that surface automated status updates and proactive suggestions rather than relying on manual, click-driven interactions. While experience in utilities or asset-intensive industries is valuable, the primary focus is on enterprise SaaS product development. 

This role suits an engineer who wants to code, lead, and shape architecture — primarily on the frontend, with the range to work across the stack — while adopting AI-first and modern engineering practices, and who is comfortable working in a fast-evolving product environment where requirements are still being shaped. 

Qualifications

What You'll Be Doing 

  • Building the frontend for a new planning and simulation product from scratch, with a strong focus on frontend architecture and delivery. 

  • Designing UI patterns for an AI-first workflow — surfacing automated status updates and proactive suggestions rather than manual click-driven interactions. 

  • Working closely with backend, UX and product while requirements are still being shaped. 

  • Handling large, data-heavy views (scheduling, capacity, simulation output) with a strong eye on performance. 

  • Delivering end-to-end features, from UI through APIs to data and deployment, and contributing to backend services in Go where needed. 

  • Building and maintaining enterprise integrations (internal/external systems, APIs, identity services). 

  • Contributing to cloud-native architecture (containers, CI/CD, observability). 

  • Working within and extending platform frameworks. 

  • Providing technical leadership: architecture decisions, code reviews, mentoring, standards. 

  • Ensuring quality, performance, security, and maintainability across the stack. 

  • Collaborating closely with Product, UX, and cross-functional teams.
