Mayvue is seeking a highly experienced Principal Software Developer to lead critical technical initiatives while remaining deeply hands-on in development. This role is designed for someone who wants to own outcomes, drive architectural decisions, and build software, without serving as a traditional people manager.

Set Technical Standards
  • Establish and uphold best practices for code quality, testing, CI/CD, and system design
  • Lead design and code reviews with a focus on clarity, maintainability, and reliability
  • Improve development workflows, tooling, and engineering discipline
Mentor Through Influence (Not Line Management)
  • Mentor engineers through technical guidance, pairing, and constructive feedback
  • Elevate team-wide engineering thinking and architectural awareness
  • Lead by example through execution, not authority
Partner Across the Business
  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering Leadership, and Customer Success to align initiatives with business goals
