Job Description Principal Engineer — Full Stack Software Engineering · Agoura Hills, CA (in-office) Starting at $135,000 to $145,000 + Bonus Medical, Dental, Vision, 401 (k) About the Role We are a Salesforce-centric organization with a modern, multi-platform engineering stack spanning Salesforce, MuleSoft, Informatica Cloud, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS. We are looking for a seasoned engineer who is excellent at engineering fundamentals first and tied to no single platform second — someone who can operate across our ecosystem and, just as importantly, partner with the specialists already on the team. You do not need to be a Salesforce expert. You do need to be the kind of engineer other strong engineers want in the room: someone who picks up unfamiliar systems quickly, reasons about design across platforms, and can sit down with a MuleSoft or backend specialist and push their thinking forward on their own turf. Over time you will act as a senior technical anchor across our stack — writing and reviewing code, shaping technical design, and helping the team work as a unit rather than a set of parallel lanes. This role suits someone with genuine drive: curious, adaptable, and hungry to take on more over time. It is the kind of role that grows with the person in it. What You'll Do ● Design, build, and maintain solutions across our stack — backend services, integrations, data flows, and (with ramp-up) Salesforce customizations. ● Serve as a technical partner and advisor to specialists across the team — reasoning about MuleSoft integrations with our integration engineers, backend and data design with our database engineers, and Salesforce approaches with our platform engineers — challenging and strengthening technical decisions across domains. ● Lead and elevate code reviews and technical discussion, raising the bar for quality, maintainability, and consistency, and helping establish these as everyday practice across the team. ● Own and improve our deployment and release process — CI/CD pipelines, environment and branch management, and safe, repeatable production deployments. ● Build and maintain integrations between Salesforce and external systems using MuleSoft and APIs. ● Develop backend logic, data processing, and automation in Python; work with PostgreSQL for data modeling, queries, and performance; leverage AWS for hosting, compute, and supporting cloud services. ● Explore and evaluate new technologies where they can meaningfully improve how we build. ● Ramp into Salesforce development and configuration, eventually contributing to and advising on Salesforce solutions. ● Troubleshoot production issues across systems and drive them to resolution. ● Mentor engineers, share knowledge, and help raise the technical bar of the people around you. Requirements What We're Looking For (Required) ● 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of principal- or staff-level technical contribution (years can be adjusted for the right person). ● Strong general-purpose programming skills and solid computer-science fundamentals — platform-agnostic, and someone who learns new technologies quickly. ● Hands-on experience with at least three of the following, and the demonstrated ability to ramp into the rest: ○ Python (or a comparable backend language) ○ Relational databases such as PostgreSQL ○ Cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS ○ Integration / middleware platforms (MuleSoft, or similar iPaaS / API integration experience) ○ JavaScript and modern web development ● Experience designing and reasoning about system architecture and integrations across multiple platforms. ● Strong code-review skills and a genuinely high bar for code quality and engineering practices — someone for whom rigor is a held value, not a tolerated process. ● The ability to earn influence through credibility rather than title — able to partner with and constructively challenge experienced engineers in domains that aren't their own, and move them without formal authority. ● Practical experience with CI/CD, version control (Git), and managing deployments to production. ● Excellent communication skills — able to explain technical trade-offs to engineers and non-engineers, and to give clear, constructive feedback. ● A demonstrated ability to onboard into unfamiliar codebases and systems quickly and become productive with minimal hand-holding. ● Drive and ambition — a demonstrated pattern of seeking out more scope, more responsibility, and growth over the course of a career. Nice to Have (Preferred) ● Salesforce development or administration experience (Apex, Lightning/LWC, flows, integrations). This is a plus, not a gate — we expect the right person to learn it on the job. ● MuleSoft experience specifically (Anypoint Platform, DataWeave). ● Experience integrating Salesforce with external / back-office systems. ● ETL / data integration experience (e.g., Informatica or similar). ● AWS certifications, or Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer, Integration Architect). ● Experience in a regulated or enterprise environment with formal release and change-management processes. What Makes Someone Successful Here ● You're a fast, self-directed learner who treats an unfamiliar platform as a puzzle, not an obstacle. ● You think in terms of systems and trade-offs, not just code. ● You raise the level of the people around you — you're the kind of engineer whose presence makes a team better, not just more staffed. ● You earn respect through what you know and how you collaborate, and you're comfortable partnering with — and challenging — engineers more tenured than you in areas that aren't your specialty. ● You bring energy and initiative. You're not content to settle into a lane; you look for where you can do more and grow. ● You communicate clearly and collaborate well, even when you're the most senior engineer in the room. Benefits • Competitive compensation of $135,000-$145,000 with bonus potential, • Hybrid flexibility: Fridays remote, • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, • 401(k) with company match, • Generous PTO and paid holidays, • A culture that values innovation, autonomy, and impact About Cydcor Cydcor is a leader in outsourced sales, partnering with Fortune 500 and emerging companies to drive customer acquisition and growth.
