About the Job

As a Principal Software Engineer at Avandra Imaging, you’ll serve as a hands-on technical leader, collaborating across Engineering, Product, and other areas of the business to shape and deliver systems that are secure, scalable, and high-impact. You’ll be trusted to drive architectural direction, mentor other engineers, and set quality standards across the stack.

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in complex technical domains, influences through expertise rather than authority, and elevates the work of others through mentorship, collaboration, and a commitment to engineering excellence.

This role goes beyond individual contributions — you’ll model engineering excellence, influence technical strategy, and help foster a team culture built on curiosity, craftsmanship, and care. You’ll often lead without authority, earning influence through deep technical insight, sound judgment, and a reputation for raising the bar.

What You’ll Do

- Architect and lead the development of critical systems, services, and infrastructure — with a focus on reliability, security, performance, and maintainability.

- Partner with product and program leaders to ensure engineering solutions align with user needs, regulatory requirements, and business outcomes.

- Set and evolve technical standards across the organization. Proactively address tech debt, guide code review quality, and drive initiatives that improve team velocity and code quality.
