Job Overview

We are looking for a PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER (Integrations) to join our team! We invite you to check out the details below and consider whether becoming a Nerd is the next step in your career journey.

Responsibilities

• The Principal Software Engineer is the technical lead and a full-time hands-on builder for a multi-tenant ERP connector framework for Fleetio, a fleet maintenance SaaS platform.
• The first adapters are SAP S/4HANA Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• The Principal owns the architecture and its early decisions (platform, stack, cloud setup), leads three senior engineers and a QA engineer, and is accountable for posting integrity: financial data moves between Fleetio and customer ERPs with no duplicates and a complete audit trail.
• They are the main technical voice to Fleetio’s product, integrations and infrastructure teams, and hand the framework over to Fleetio’s integrations team at the end of the engagement.

• Demonstrated experience designing and architecting scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend systems and system-to-system integrations, with a strong understanding of distributed systems, architectural trade-offs, and production-level design decisions.

• Ability to effectively leverage AI development tools through structured context management, clear technical specifications, prompt engineering, and iterative validation of AI-generated solutions.

• iPaaS platforms (Paragon, Workato).
• Framework or SDK design meant for reuse by another team.
