Principal Software/Data Engineer (event architecture) at PointClickCare

This role is designed for a heavyweight Data Engineer with over 10 years of experience, specifically targeting those who have spent at least 4 years mastering real-time streaming systems. You should be a "hands-on leader" who is comfortable navigating the ambiguity of a principal-level role, moving between high-level architectural design and deep-code implementation. The compensation is competitive ($183k – $203k) for a fully remote U.S. position, though you should expect occasional travel to Utah or Ontario for team events. A standout feature of this role is the focus on modernizing a massive healthcare dataset using a cutting-edge stack—including Databricks, Spark, and Flink—within a company that actively reinvests revenue into R&D. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have deep expertise in Apache Kafka and event-driven architectures. * Prefer being an individual contributor who mentors others rather than a traditional people manager. * Are experienced with Lakehouse architectures (Databricks, Hudi, or ADLS Gen2). * Enjoy establishing "operational excellence" via CI/CD, schema contracts, and robust observability.
