Echodyne Corp
Principal Software Engineer (Full Stack)
Echodyne Corp, Kirkland, Washington, United States, 98034
Echodyne is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join our fast-growing team.
Echodyne is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to help build our next-generation radar software platform advancing mission-critical security for defense and automotive applications. You’ll play a key role in architecting robust solutions, collaborating across engineering, product, and UX, and ensuring our technology thrives in real-world, dynamic environments. RESPONSIBILITIES
Deliver core platform components: async (Tokio/Rust) backend services, well-defined APIs, and real-time data/event models. Partner closely with React/front-end teams to enable shared components, efficient state management, and system health visualizations. Advance prototypes to production: transform algorithms or domain logic into well-tested, high-performance endpoints with solid observability. Architect for resilience: address intermittent connectivity, graceful degradation, security hardening, and offline scenarios. Drive quality and velocity: refine CI/CD, improve testing (performance, contract/property), and establish clear instrumentation and SLO/error budgets. Mentor and influence: facilitate clear design narratives, code reviews, and integrate product and field feedback into the development lifecycle. REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
7+ years building customer-facing, production-grade software systems. Modern full-stack expertise: React (or equivalent) front-ends and async backend services (Tokio/Rust or similar). Strong experience with modular architectures, documented API contracts, and robust service lifecycles. Designed for real-world constraints: field/defense/automotive deployments or similar high-stakes, performance-critical systems. Hands-on with Python and/or Rust and/or C/C++ for practical, scalable solutions. Skilled collaborator with product, UX, and technical experts; strong communication in cross-functional contexts. Track record mentoring peers and driving technical excellence without direct authority. Familiar with CI/CD practices, observability, and resilient system patterns. B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations.
Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S. WHAT WE OFFER
The pay range for this position is $145,300 - $217,900 per year. Our comprehensive benefits package currently includes: Incentive stock options Excellent medical, dental and vision coverage benefits for employee and family members Unlimited vacation, 12 paid sick days, and 9 paid holidays Company paid disability, life insurance, employee assistance program and travel insurance 401k Plan All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, status as a protected veteran or any other characteristic protected by law. EEO / VOLUNTARY SELF-IDENTIFICATION
We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of protected status. For government reporting purposes, we may request voluntary information to measure our outreach and recruitment efforts in compliance with applicable laws. Completion is voluntary and kept confidential.
