Principal Engineer / Head of Engineering

Principal Engineer / Head of Engineering

At TriEdge Investments, we build world-class software that drives value creation and grows EBITDA across a portfolio of more than 30 companies. From bespoke tools that unlock operator performance to scalable platforms that transform industries, we are redefining how private equity delivers impact at scale.

As Principal Engineer / Head of Engineering, you will lead this mission. You will architect and deliver end-to-end products that solve real business problems across healthcare, logistics, and financial services, including data platforms, workflow engines, and agentic AI solutions. You will be hands-on, set technical strategy, grow the team, and ensure projects succeed in the field.

This is not a typical dev shop. You will own problems from start to finish, work directly with operators to understand the why, and build pragmatic, high-quality solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes.

We are assembling a team of exceptional builders. If you want purpose, pace, and the opportunity to reinvent how value is created, we would love to talk.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design, architecture, and delivery of end-to-end software solutions for operators and clients

• Architect and build scalable systems across web, cloud, and data, and select platform technologies that boost speed and resilience

• Design efficient data structures and algorithms for large-scale, high-throughput workloads

• Develop robust APIs, agentic workflows, and reusable infrastructure, integrating AI and ML where it drives automation or smarter decisions

• Guide and mentor engineers, driving code quality, testing, and technical excellence through code reviews

• Work closely with product, operations, and client teams to ensure solutions are adopted and deliver results

• Own execution, clear blockers, prioritize effectively, and navigate ambiguity to get things shipped

About You

• 12+ years of hands-on experience in full-stack software engineering in a large-scale, production environment

• 3+ years in a team leadership role

• Proven experience developing end-to-end solutions, including architecture and optimization, and owning delivery to clients

• Comfortable building and scaling full-stack systems across modern languages, frameworks, data stores, and cloud environments

• Strong API development skills; practical experience shipping AI-powered systems

• Clear communicator, natural collaborator, and mentor who raises the bar

• You take ownership and figure things out and are biased toward action

Why Join TriEdge Investments

• Drive AI-powered platforms that transform how private equity creates value

• Digitize real businesses across healthcare and finance, not just build another SaaS tool

• Partner with operators and decision-makers to deliver meaningful, fast results

• Build ventures with real demand and quick go-to-market cycles

• Join a team that values clarity, speed, humility, and ownership
