Principal Engineer & Technical Strategist

Decise | Principal Engineer & Technical Strategist | Remote (US) | Fully Remote | Contract (1099) Decise is a hands-on advisory and delivery firm that helps organizations unlock the full value of their technology and improve business profitability. We work directly with executives to define what should be built, then we build it. Our work spans software engineering, data platforms, analytics, and customer-facing digital products. We often operate as fractional CIOs and CTOs, guiding both the strategic direction and the technical execution of our clients’ technology initiatives. Our clients rely on us to turn complex business problems into working systems — not slide decks. We are intentionally small and senior. Everyone on the team is a builder who can operate independently, solve complex problems, and deliver finished systems that people actually use. White-glove service. Blue-collar grit. We’re looking for a principal-level technologist who can move between engineering, architecture, and client strategy. Most of your time will be spent building systems and writing production code. The rest will involve working directly with executives to shape technical direction and ensure the work creates real business value. Typical technologies we work with include React, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Go, Snowflake, SQL, dbt, Domo, Streamlit, AWS, Vercel, and modern AI-assisted engineering tools. The exact stack varies by client; the ability to learn quickly and move confidently across technologies matters more than any specific tool. Strong candidates typically have 10–15 years of experience building production systems and are comfortable operating both as hands-on engineers and as technical advisors to executives. This is a long-term, full-time independent contractor engagement (1099). Everyone at Decise — including the founders — operates in this structure. Compensation is designed to be competitive with senior engineering roles at leading technology companies. The fastest way to stand out is to show us something you’ve built: a production system, GitHub repository, application, or data platform you designed.
