The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Media Plus LLC is hiring a Principal Software Engineer in Carlsbad, CA.

• Role description

  We ship fast and break very little, and we want a Principal Software Engineer who shares that obsession with Docker. Picture $198,000 - $259,000, a temporary cadence, and 10 years of Go translating into a principal seat you actually steer at Media Plus LLC.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Kubernetes acceptance criteria
  • Carry a hands-on Google Cloud feature through code freeze without breaking Media Plus LLC stability
  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Spot the nimble Kubernetes anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Media Plus LLC
  • Chase down the PostgreSQL integration that silently drops Media Plus LLC events at midnight
  • Reach into legacy Kubernetes modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

  What You'll Bring

  • A solid foundation in Kubernetes, refined over 10+ years
  • Experience thriving in an empathy-led, deadline-driven setting like Media Plus LLC
  • Roughly 8+ years operating in a similar Principal Software Engineer position
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
  • Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards

  Trusted by businesses nationwide, Media Plus LLC operates a safety-first technology platform from its Carlsbad base. Psychological safety is something we actively build, so disagreeing in good faith is encouraged.

  We'll invest in you with $198,000 - $259,000, full benefits, and a roadmap that turns this job into a long-term career.

  Recruiting for this temporary position is happening in real time, not on a backlog.
