About the Role
The technology team at Emerson ships on Fridays without flinching, and the Principal Software Engineer we hire will understand why that matters. Picture this: a temporary Principal Software Engineer seat in Brooklyn Park, paying $164,000 - $232,000, where 9 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.
Key Responsibilities
- Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
- Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
- Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
- Question the self-directed GitLab CI pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
- Carry a quietly-relentless Ruby on Rails feature through code freeze without breaking Emerson stability
- Mentor newer principal hires on how Emerson actually wires RabbitMQ together
- Slice the impact-driven technology monolith into Kotlin services Brooklyn Park, MN can deploy alone
- Untangle the GitLab CI dependency knots that have slowed Brooklyn Park releases for months
What You'll Bring
- Principal-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
- Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
- Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
- A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
Emerson builds the unglamorous technology plumbing that Brooklyn Park, MN relies on, and it does so with hardworking pride. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.
Emerson offers $164,000 - $232,000 plus the autonomy to set your own schedule and the support to keep growing.
Right now is a strong time to apply, as our review queue is moving quickly.
