The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Industrial Plus is hiring a Principal Software Engineer in Great Falls, MT.

• Role description

  At Industrial Plus, the best Principal Software Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose Communication decisions age the gracefully. The $119,000 - $177,000 is the floor, not the ceiling; with 10 years and technology ownership, this Industrial Plus role keeps rising.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Build .NET Core self-service tools so Great Falls teams stop filing tickets for everything
  • Own the Python release that Great Falls leadership has circled on the calendar
  • Mentor the principal cohort through their first real Rust on-call at Industrial Plus
  • Cut .NET Core cold-start times so Industrial Plus functions wake before MT users notice
  • Deliver principal-quality features within the $119,000 - $177,000 Principal Software Engineer mandate
  • Ship MongoDB experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks

  What You'll Bring

  • Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
  • A MT work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
  • Comfort owning technology decisions in a MT market
  • The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
  • A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
  • Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
  • A collaborator who makes the principal review feel less like an exam

  Industrial Plus turned a frustration with technology into an impact-driven business that now serves customers far beyond MT. At Industrial Plus we hire people we can trust with real decisions and then give them the room to make them.

  Get $119,000 - $177,000, get a mentor, get benefits, and get the freedom to grow your Python without anyone watching the clock.

  Live and unfilled as of this exact moment, ready for your interest.
