Some engineers want to lead without giving up the keyboard. If that's you, keep reading.
VIVA Tech Talent are working with a growing, mission-driven tech scale-up in Belfast that's looking for a hands-on Principal Engineer. You'd be the technical lead for your product area and still be writing code every day. No ivory tower here.
What you'd be doing
- Setting the design principles, test strategy and coding standards for your area
- Shaping how the team ships small changes often, and how it looks after things in production
- Helping lead how AI is used to build and run software, sensibly
- Pairing, writing tests first and shipping like everyone else
- Helping senior engineers grow, and having a real say in who joins the team
What you'd bring
- Genuine XP experience: TDD, DDD, pairing, refactoring as you go
- Continuous delivery know-how (trunk-based development, feature flags)
- Experience setting standards across more than just your own team
- Ownership of reliability and incidents when things go wrong
- A considered view on AI in engineering, not just enthusiasm for it
- The ability to explain technical decisions clearly to anyone in the room
Why we think it's worth a chat
- You'd be trusted to get on with it. The culture is direct, honest and refreshingly free of politics, and the work makes a real difference beyond the screen.
- Strong benefits package, including private medical.
