Principal Engineer- Broker Applications

As a Principal Software Engineer on the Broker Applications team, you will serve as the senior technical authority for the client‑facing application layer that connects the Certent Equity Management (CEM) platform to a growing portfolio of broker‑dealer partners. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will be the technical lead for a team of engineers and matrixed QA specialists, owning the application‑side development that powers broker integrations—from supporting existing partners to onboarding new ones.
This is a pure individual contributor role operating at a high‑visibility intersection of engineering and client engagement. The Broker Applications team carries one of the organization’s top strategic priorities for 2026—expanding the broker partner ecosystem—and you will be a key contributor to that growth. You will work closely with the Platform Integrations and Platform Services teams when new data connections are required, but your team is the primary engineering point of contact for broker partners and will interface directly with them throughout the delivery lifecycle.
The right candidate is a seasoned engineer with deep full‑stack expertise, strong client‑facing instincts, and the ability to translate broker‑specific requirements into platform‑generic solutions that scale across the CEM client base. You will bring an AI‑first mindset by genuinely integrating agentic development tooling into your daily workflow and setting the standard for your team.

Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Delivery
• Serve as the senior technical authority for the Broker Applications team, making day‑to‑day engineering decisions, setting the bar for code quality, and ensuring the team delivers high‑quality software on schedule.
• Write, review, and contribute production‑quality code across the full stack, including C#/.NET, Angular, and Oracle, as an active hands‑on member of the team.
• Lead architecture discussions and make technical recommendations that align with the long‑term CEM platform strategy, ensuring broker‑specific work generalizes across the broader client base wherever possible.
• Hold the team accountable to engineering standards including unit testing, code review discipline, definition of done, and release readiness.
• Partner with Platform Integrations and Platform Services teams to design and implement new data connections required for broker onboarding and feature delivery.

AI‑First Engineering
• Champion organizational minimums of at least 50 percent AI‑authored pull requests and 95 percent AI‑assisted code review adoption.
• Model an agentic development mindset by integrating AI tooling into your own daily workflow and actively coaching teammates to do the same.
• Push the team beyond baseline AI adoption into workflows and practices that measurably improve delivery velocity and code quality.
• Stay current on agentic development tooling and bring forward‑looking recommendations to the Engineering Manager.

Broker Onboarding & Partner Engagement
• Serve as the senior technical point of contact for broker‑dealer partners, engaging directly on requirements, integration design, technical issue resolution, and delivery status.
• Lead the technical execution of new broker onboarding engagements, translating partner‑specific requirements into well‑scoped, platform‑generic solutions.
• Dig into root business problems rather than accepting requirements at face value, advocating for solutions that work across the full broker partner portfolio rather than one‑off builds.
• Partner with the Engineering Manager and Product Management to ensure broker requirements are well‑defined, properly scoped, and sequenced for delivery.
• Build credibility with broker partners through technical depth, delivery consistency, and clear communication.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration
• Partner closely with the Platform Integrations and Platform Services teams on new data connections, integration patterns, and shared technical standards.
• Coordinate with matrixed QA engineers to ensure test coverage, quality gates, and release readiness are met across broker‑specific workflows.
• Collaborate with Principal Engineers, the Solution Architect, and peer Lead Engineers on cross‑team technical decisions.
• Surface delivery risks, technical blockers, and scope concerns to the Engineering Manager early and clearly.

Technical Mentorship
• Set the technical bar for the team by establishing coding standards, architectural patterns, and engineering practices the rest of the team follows.
• Mentor engineers on full‑stack development best practices, broker integration patterns, and professional development.
• Contribute to cross‑team technical forums alongside Principal Engineers, the Solution Architect, and Engineering Managers.
