Role overview
Nortal is seeking a Principal FE Engineer to join their LATAM remote team to work on an innovative 3D home design platform used by millions worldwide. In this role, you will lead the development of highly interactive web experiences that combine spatial computing, 3D graphics, e-commerce, and consumer technology at global scale. This is an approximately 50/50 role: part hands-on product engineering and part technical leadership, architecture, web quality, and partnership with Product and stakeholders. You will architect, implement, and optimize consumer-facing web applications, owning technical direction and the evolution of architectures, APIs, and features across the web and microservices cloud platform without requiring direct people management.
Responsibilities

- Own and coordinate complex technology roadmaps with a distributed development team and our partners, making trade-offs clear and adapting the approach to novel problems.
- Be a trusted technical partner to Product Managers, designers, company leadership, and external partners, translating product goals into technical direction and communicating risks and trade-offs clearly.
- Drive seamless customer journeys by working closely with service teams to design, build, and develop an integrated customer experience across online and in-store channels.

- 3+ years providing technical leadership for small engineering teams (3-6 engineers) on business-critical projects, including mentoring, technical direction, hiring support, and growing the effectiveness of other engineers. Direct people management is not required.
- 5+ years designing and shipping complex distributed systems, including API design, microservices integration, performance-critical architectures, and meaningful production ownership.
- Strong foundations in Computer Science, software engineering, and structured problem solving.
- Fluency with Internet web technologies and modern full-stack web application technology stacks. Backend language experience may include Node, Python, Java, .NET, or equivalent technologies.
- Familiar with best practices for DevOps, observability, testing, and quality practices for effective and efficient delivery.
- Able to adjust calendar for meetings with Europe.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, distributed, and asynchronous engineering environment.
