Principal Software Engineer / Tech Lead - #1783094

We're hiring a Principal Tech Lead to help shape the future of our most ambitious client projects.

This is a senior, hands-on role that blends deep technical expertise with strategic consultancy. You’ll be working at the earliest stages of client engagements—helping uncover the real problems, defining the right approach, and proposing commercially viable, technically sound solutions without needing to escalate for support. You’ll represent Parallax with confidence, pitch ideas persuasively, and guide both clients and internal teams from initial scoping through to architecture, delivery and optimisation. Equally comfortable in the code and leading client workshops, you’ll set the technical direction while enabling and mentoring the engineering team to execute it.

Our clients are diverse, operating across multiple sectors and geographies, often targeting global audiences. You must be able to adapt your technical approach to fit existing technology stacks and standards—or define new ones entirely. Working at a strategic level, you will influence project roadmaps, craft Statements of Work and contribute directly to winning new engagements.

We welcome people from under-represented backgrounds.

If you do not meet every single requirement, please do still apply.
