That said, due to the high volume of direct messages and emails we receive, cold outreach isn't the preferred way to be considered for a role, and we're not able to prioritize applications submitted this way.

Whether you're working remotely or from one of our office locations, you'll be contributing to a vibrant, team-oriented culture focused on driving meaningful impact across the world.

You'll embed with product teams across our portfolio to take on their hardest technical problems, and you'll deliver working code — not just direction. You'll own architectural decisions at both the application and service level, making calls that hold up under real production load and remain understandable to the engineers who inherit them.



You'll diagnose systemic and architectural issues that cross component and service boundaries, including the ambiguous ones where the cause isn't in any single team's code.

You'll set the standard for how AI-assisted development is used well at Foundant — where generation accelerates the work, where it needs a harder look, and how teams around you can raise their own bar. 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant time at a principal, staff, or equivalent senior individual contributor level. ~ Demonstrated mastery of architectural patterns and the judgment to know which apply in a given context, at both the application and service level. ~ Our environment includes Java, C#, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python, and Flutter. ~ Proven experience owning production services, including reliability, performance, and incident response. ~ Professional experience using AI-assisted development tools in production work. Moves between unfamiliar codebases, domains, and problem spaces without losing momentum, and delivers high-quality solutions under shifting priorities and incomplete context. Leads engineers through complex initiatives by influence rather than authority — entering a team as a guest, earning trust quickly, and articulating direction clearly enough that the team can carry it forward without you.

Weighs the blast radius of shared-service decisions across every product and client, balancing technical elegance against what actually advances the business and the communities we serve.
