We don't need a Principal Software Engineer who knows everything about GitLab CI; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Own your projects, earn $117,000 - $184,000, and grow with a team that turns 8 years of MySQL into real results.
Key Responsibilities
- Wire Rust APIs to Docker consumers so data lands where Lexington teams expect it
- Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
- Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
- Stress-test AWS systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
- Document the Git system so the next principal engineer onboards in days, not weeks
What You'll Bring
- Practical command of Git, with bonus points for React
- Experience at the principal level inside a temporary role
- A Lexington network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
- Cross-functional ease, from Git engineers to AWS marketers
- Familiarity with Stripe-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
Stripe is the remote-friendly company technology professionals across KY reach for when the cheap option finally breaks. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.
The bottom line: $117,000 - $184,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, wrapped into a Principal Software Engineer role that grows as fast as you do.
Current and accurate as of this visit, the temporary opening stands ready.
We open the Principal Software Engineer role today and close it once we meet the right person, so hurry.
