Principal Software Engineer (Remote)

About BlueModus:

We are a fully remote technology agency – composed of colleagues who bring a daily commitment to transparency, efficiency, and helping. We approach our clients and colleagues with sincerity – and recognize that innovative tech solutions pair best with wholehearted teams.

Many companies talk about their awesome perks, flexible schedules, and cool events. We can, too. Great benefits, a 100% remote culture, ongoing training, and learning are part of BlueModus. But when you come to work here, you also become a part of an incredible team that we think separates us from other tech companies. We have created a culture that attracts bright, passionate, caring people who sincerely want to do their best for clients and each other.

What You Will Be Doing:

You will co-lead a small agile project team alongside an account manager/product owner and a project manager responsible for building and maintaining websites, webstores, intranets, and web applications for a handful of clients. We are a Microsoft .NET shop with a heavy focus on C#, JavaScript, Vue, and custom development built alongside content management systems (CMS), including Kentico, Sitefinity, Sitecore, Umbraco, and Kontent.

You are responsible for the technical vision of client projects, which includes translating the business requirements into technical requirements, decomposing requirements into sprints or tickets for your team, pair programming, conducting code reviews, and leading demos for our clients on completed work. What makes this role unique is that in addition to architecting solutions and mentoring a team, you also will be writing code and developing the more complex solutions with your team. Most of our Solution Leads love this, as they dislike getting too far away from the code.

If you have experience as a Software Architect, Technical Lead, Engineering Lead, Principal Software Engineer, Web Development Lead, Lead Developer, Web Developer, Full-Stack Developer, Backend Developer, Software Engineer, Web Application Engineer, Programmer Analyst, or Web Programmer – this may be the perfect mix of architecture, leadership, and hands-on development for you.
