    Description
    Principal Engineer Companies are coming to realize the power that leveraging integrated data effectively can have on their businesses. In all industries, business performance can be dramatically improved when companies act on the insights that organized, accessible data can provide into their internal processes and models. Like most companies AutoTrader has historically been a moderate user of data, however, recent changes in our strategy – with our overarching goal to become an Integrated Data Services Driven Organization, have caused the company to become very focused on developing a deeper level of expertise in how we engineer our applications to effectively manage our data assets.
    Description
    The Principal Engineer is an individual contributor role that is responsible for the technical application architecture.

    While they do not manage people, they must collaborate with multiple stake holders and be able to "lead without authority" to get their ideas implemented.

    Principal Engineers are experts in technology but must also fully understand the business function of the application to select the most appropriate architecture implementation.

    Looking beyond individual requirements, the Principal Engineer must have a broad and comprehensive view across multiple teams and functional areas and sees the system as a whole.

    The Principal Engineer looks ahead to the technological future of the application and creates strategic change plans and POCs to improve the reliability and performance of the application in a proactive manner.

    • Evaluate and recommend new technologies and create POCs to improve system performance and reliability.
