Job Description

Description :

Raken is a cloud-based, mobile, collaboration platform for the construction industry — we empower the people who build the world! Our goal is to transform the way the world builds by introducing technology to a 7,000 year old industry. To achieve this, we aim to attract unique, passionate people to the cause. We believe that faster, better reporting will improve the working lives of nearly 10% of the US labor force—the percentage of people currently working in construction. Helping turn the worst part of their day into the easiest (and fastest) is why we do what we do! We work with Commercial, Residential, and Specialty Contractors of all shapes and sizes; including many of the largest construction companies in the world.

We are seeking a motivated yet empathetic Principal Software Engineer who is passionate about leadership, technical excellence, and driving complex projects to successful delivery.

This role blends deep technical expertise with the ability to guide teams, influence architecture decisions, and ensure strategic alignment with organizational goals. Applicants should have a proven track record of successful delivery of software features and enhancements in all phases of development, from design and implementation through QA and deployment.

While this role does not require any direct reports, qualified applicants will be responsible for leading a small team of engineers (3-5 people) in implementing roadmap features within an Agile / SCRUM framework.

Self-starters who thrive on solving complex problems, building trust across teams, and driving projects to meaningful completion will be most successful in this role. As a fast-growing organization, opportunities for career advancement will be available to those who consistently demonstrate these characteristics.

Seeking candidates based in San Diego or Orange County, CA for a hybrid role.
