Lead engineering excellence at enterprise scale. Guide vendors, uplift practices, and shape architecture across major platforms 

A major Australian enterprise is investing heavily in modernising its engineering capability and we’re searching for a Principal Engineer who can lead the charge.

This role is perfect for someone who operates comfortably at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and engineering uplift. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure solutions are well-designed, well-governed, and implemented to a high standard, while still staying close enough to the hands-on detail to guide engineers effectively. 

As the Principal Engineer, you’ll be a key technical authority responsible for shaping engineering practices, design quality, and solution consistency across the organisation.

You’ll partner directly with senior technology leaders to set direction, assess technical approaches, and ensure the engineering function is equipped with the right patterns, tooling, and guardrails.

This isn’t a coding-heavy role, but you should still be capable of diving into code when needed (e.g. writing a git hook to enforce Jira processes) and setting the example for the level of quality expected across the ecosystem. 

You’ll play a pivotal role across solution architecture, engineering quality, and vendor oversight:
