Our web app serves millions of users and we are in need of a principal lead web developer to help continue developing new products while maintaining our current app. Our main focus is primarily on building new products as our current app is in a very stable position. In addition to our web app we also use JUCE to build soft synths and other internal tools (it isn’t a requirement to be an expert in JUCE but is a major plus to be familiar as we hope to use JUCE to build audio tools in collaboration with web assembly to build some really amazing tools inside the browser).

As the Principal Engineer, you are a systems architect, coder, and liaison to different groups such as stakeholders, project managers, developers, data scientists, designers, and marketing teams.
