The Job

As a Principal Engineer, you will serve as a key technical advisor and architect for our engineering organization. Reporting to the Senior Director of Engineering, your mission is to be a force multiplier, optimizing the way we develop software while ensuring our platform architecture scales to meet our vision. You will spend your time navigating ambiguous challenges, becoming deeply familiar with our AWS/Kotlin/React ecosystem, and partnering with teams to overcome their toughest challenges during our high growth phase. 


  • You are an Influencer: You proactively research emerging technologies and drive technical direction by crafting compelling RFCs; building consensus across teams rather than using top-down authority.
  • You are a Technical Diplomat: You act as a consultant to individuals and teams, helping them navigate complex technical decisions and moderating high-stakes discussions.
  • You are a Builder: You aren't looking for a pre-written manual. You enjoy starting with a blank slate and creating a culture of quality.
  • You Value Impact Over Activity: You want to deliver architectural solutions that result in faster, safer deployments and a better experience for our end users.
  • You are an AI Native: You don't just use AI; you understand how it transforms the SDLC. You are passionate about helping others adopt AI-assisted workflows to move faster with confidence.
  • Proven ability to lead through influence: Extensive prior experience as a Lead or Principal Engineer with a track record of driving significant, company-wide technical initiatives.
  • Technical Breadth: Strong proficiency in our core stack: Kotlin (JVM), React (TypeScript), AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), and various relational and NoSQL databases.
  • Scaling: Proven experience with large, globally scaled distributed systems.
  • AI First: Professional experience integrating AI/LLMs into internal developer workflows as well as user-facing product features.
  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on platform architecture and developer experience.
  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.  
  • Global Collaboration: Experience working with international teams and leading complex technical projects in partnership with third-party agencies.
  • Security & Compliance: Familiarity with SOC2 requirements and integrating security-minded checks into the testing lifecycle.
  • Domain Knowledge: Experience working in either (or both) the solar industry and building software for an O&M (Operations & Maintenance) company.
  • Most of our roles offer the opportunity to work remotely
  • If you are in the Seattle area, we offer a vibrant office space in the historic and beautiful Smith Tower, in the heart of Pioneer Square
  • We prioritize applicants near one of our employee clusters and offer one or more local gatherings per year
  • We provide outstanding benefits including family medical, dental, vision, disability, 401(k) administration and $1k match per year and thoughtful paid time off
  • We offer 12 weeks of paid parental leave to all FTE employees (birthing and non-birthing) after 1 year, and four-week paid sabbatical leave after four years
  • We offer a competitive total compensation package that includes monthly health insurance premiums, bonuses and long-term stock options for every employee
  • We love to lift each other up through company-wide slack channels such as #puppiesandpets, #omnidian-wellness, #praiseandbooms and #sustainablefuture
  • We have affinity groups to help employees feel seen and supported, such as Rainbow Array, BIPOC, Thriving Survivors, Vets at Omnidian, Black Lights Matter and Neurospicy R Us
  • We are a passionate, mission driven team that believes in collaboration, mutual respect and trust. For examples, come Discover our Story!
  • We mentor and invest in our employees and prioritize them for future opportunities. Check out our Instagram reels to see a few career journey examples
  • Internal candidates: Check out our advice on Internal Transfer: Job Application Process
  • We’re a fast-growing growth company, which means we’re constantly reinventing processes, adding new products, and asking people to use all of their skills and talents. That means there’s going to be a lot of opportunities for you to grow, which also means you will likely be stretched in ways you’ve never experienced in a job before. If you are resilient, determined, and not afraid of a big challenge, come apply.
