About The Role

We’re looking for a Principal, Software Engineering to join our Shared Services team This role reports directly to the Vice-President, Software Engineering Shared Services. The Shared Services organization at Intact provides reusable enterprise platforms and capabilities used across multiple business areas. Its portfolio typically includes content and document services, customer and reference data, decision-support technology, product configuration, integration services, distributor platforms, and a mix of modern and legacy platforms. The organization acts as a central point of engagement for shared demand and is evolving these capabilities into secure, resilient, independently deployable services with clear ownership, roadmaps, service boundaries, and measurable outcomes. The Principal, Software Engineering is the most senior hands‑on technical leader in the Shared Technology Services organization. The role works across platforms, products, and teams to solve complex business and engineering problems, set technology direction, and improve the productivity and effectiveness of the broader engineering community. Technical credibility comes from sustained, current contribution: writing production code, pairing with engineers, reviewing designs and code,



resolving high-risk problems, and proving new approaches in working software. This role combines deep technical expertise, strategic thinking, business acumen, and mentorship. It is distinct from an architecture governance role: the Principal remains engaged from technical strategy and design through implementation, production readiness, and continuous improvement. The role helps shared technology services operate as dependable enterprise platforms rather than a collection of project-specific solutions. Hands‑On Engineering

What you’ll do here:

Write and review production code on the organization’s most important, shared platforms and critical delivery paths. Pair directly with engineers to resolve high‑ambiguity challenges across modern cloud services, APIs, integration platforms, commercial products, and legacy systems. Lead by example during production incidents, performance investigations, security remediation, and complex defect resolution. Build working slices and proofs of concept to validate technical direction before teams scale an approach. Develop reusable frameworks, APIs, automation, and engineering toolkits that improve consistency and accelerate delivery across product teams. Technical Leadership Through Doing, Not Decree

Own and shape technology direction and roadmaps for shared capabilities in alignment with enterprise business and technology objectives. Translate enterprise needs into practical platform boundaries, technical decisions, and sequenced modernization plans. Advance strategic priorities such as independent release cadences, API‑led integration, pragmatic cloud modernization, legacy‑platform renewal, continuous improvement, and faster paths to production.
