About the role
This Principal Software Engineer opening is for someone who treats Persuasion documentation as a first draft they intend to improve. Consider the trade: your 9 years of Persuasion for $180,000 - $248,000, a part‑time schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.
Key Responsibilities:
- Catch the problem‑solving Rust regression in staging before it ever reaches Lynnwood customers
- Support migration of on‑premise services to cloud‑native architecture
- Design Rust APIs other Lynnwood, WA teams will still thank you for next year
- Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
- Watch Networking error budgets and pump the brakes before Lynnwood, WA burns through them
- Stand up observability so Elliott Management sees failures before customers in WA doDocument technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
- Bridge Networking and Django so the two halves of Elliott Management's platform finally talk
- What You'll Bring
- Customer‑focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
- A zero‑bureaucracy attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
- Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information 8+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illnesses
Where most technology vendors automate the easy parts, Elliott Management tackles the hard ones, from a quietly‑relentless headquarters in Lynnwood, WA. We protect Fridays for learning, so spend them chasing Networking or Webpack, your call.
Salaries here begin at $180,000 - $248,000, complemented by stock options, learning budgets, and weekly one‑on‑one coaching.
This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
