Principal Engineer - Applications

The posting, as Weave wrote it

Weave is a leading all-in-one customer experience and payments software platform for small and medium-sized healthcare businesses (SMBs). We are seeking a Principal Engineer to serve as a technical cornerstone of our Applications Fellowship—the domain responsible for key patient-facing and practice-facing features, including RCM Experiences (Payments and Insurance Verification), Scheduling, Forms, Team Chat, Task Center, and Mobile App features for 40,000+ healthcare practices. This is not a role for someone seeking a larger individual contributor scope; it's a role for someone who shapes technical strategy at the company level, influences architectural decisions across multiple teams, and solves the hardest problems that span organizational boundaries.

As a Principal Engineer, you will own the multi-year technical vision for the applications domain, including core systems for Payments and Scheduling, ensuring architectural decisions position Weave for long-term competitive advantage. You'll partner with Engineering Directors, Staff Engineers, and Product leadership to ensure our technical decisions position Weave for long-term competitive advantage. Your success will be measured not by your personal output, but by how the organization's technical capability grows through your influence, mentorship, and strategic leadership.

This role requires someone with impeccable technical judgment, the ability to operate in ambiguity, and the character to lead through influence rather than authority. You'll be a visible leader whose approach to problem-solving becomes the template for how engineering operates at Weave.

The Applications Fellowship encompasses multiple engineering teams responsible for building and scaling our user-facing products: Payments, Scheduling, Forms, Business Experience, Mobile Apps, and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). You will work across these teams as a technical leader, partnering with Engineering Managers, Staff Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive architectural coherence and strategic technical initiatives.

• This position is hybrid (Lehi, UT) or Remote (US-based).
• Reports to: Sr. Director of Engineering

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Technical Strategy & Architecture

• Own the multi-year technical vision for Payments, Scheduling, Forms, Business Experience and RCM application platforms, ensuring architectural decisions position Weave for scale, reliability, and competitive advantage.
• Drive architectural coherence across multiple teams, identifying and resolving cross-system dependencies and technical debt at the platform level.
• Lead technical due diligence for major initiatives, including build-vs-buy decisions, vendor evaluations, and platform migrations.

Cross-Team Problem Solving

• Identify and solve company-level technical problems that span organizational boundaries—the problems that are too complex, too cross-cutting, or too ambiguous for any single team to own.
• Compile informa

WHAT WILL MAKE US LOVE YOU

• Background in compliance-heavy environments (healthcare, fintech) with experience navigating regulatory requirements in technical design.
• Experience shaping AI/ML infrastructure or integrating AI capabilities into production systems.
• History of external technical leadership: open source contributions, conference speaking, or published technical writing.
• Strong opinions, loosely held—you bring conviction to technical discussions while remaining genuinely open to better ideas.
• Expertise in data platform architecture: streaming pipelines, data lakes, warehouses, or distributed analytics.

Employment with Weave is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, conducted in accordance with applicable laws.
