DEPT®
ApplyWHY DEPT®?
We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA.
We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.
At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build.
We build software for the world's most ambitious brands, and we're opinionated about how it gets made:
As a Principal Engineer, you are the technical anchor for your team. You invent solutions that help ambitious brands grow faster, and you take whole projects from inception to launch with minimal oversight. You're as comfortable in an architecture review as you are in a client workshop. You can explain, in detail, to non-technical users engineering tradeoffs and how to create good software with GenAI tools and help them.
The work is primarily backend: distributed services, data platforms, agent and LLM-backed systems, and the integrations that hold them together. You'll own those systems end to end. You'll also need enough command of the modern frontend landscape to make architectural calls that account for it (API shape, latency budgets, rendering strategy) and to hold a credible conversation with the engineers building on top of your work.
You're comfortable consulting with and presenting to product managers, engineers, marketing, sales, and finance, and working with all of them to deliver working software. You can read a room, pitch the same system at the right altitude for each audience, and turn a conversation with non-engineers into requirements a team can build against.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
We are a collaborative, open-door, best-idea-wins environment that fosters personal and company growth and has fun doing it. Here is a snapshot of our benefits package:
