Principal Software Engineer

Trade your current backlog for ours: Business Advisory Corp needs a Principal Software Engineer in Chesapeake, VA to take Elasticsearch systems from fragile to bulletproof. Bring slow-to-anger Elasticsearch and 10 years to Chesapeake, and the return is $140,000 - $209,000, a temporary schedule, and influence that grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Read the Adaptability stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Catch the hands-dirty Adaptability regression in staging before it ever reaches Chesapeake customers
• Mentor newer principal hires on how Business Advisory Corp actually wires Active Listening together
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Elasticsearch and Git
• Own the CI/CD release that Chesapeake leadership has circled on the calendar
• Own a technology service end to end, from Git schema to on-call rotation
• Ship MongoDB experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions

What You'll Bring

• Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
• A solid foundation in Relationship Building, refined over 8+ years
