Principal Software Engineer

LawnStarter is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join their remote engineering team. This is a full-time position focused on both service-side and client-side web development. The role requires extensive experience in full-stack development, with particular emphasis on React, Laravel, and MySQL technologies. The ideal candidate will bring at least 7 years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a principal or lead engineering role.

The position is specifically targeted at candidates based in South America, though the company maintains a fully remote work environment. Strong English language skills are essential for effective collaboration with the global team. The role demands expertise in both frontend and backend development, with the ability to work across the full technology stack.

The company emphasizes technical excellence and requires hands-on experience with their core technology stack. Candidates should be comfortable working independently while contributing to the broader engineering team's success. The position requires working with a MacBook, which candidates must either already possess or be willing to acquire upon hiring.

This role represents an opportunity to join a growing technology company that values technical expertise and leadership experience. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute not only through direct development work but also through technical leadership and guidance for the engineering team.
