The mission of the Principal Software Engineer at Cozey

We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to lead the technical evolution of Cozey’s customer-facing websites. This role is central to shaping how customers experience Cozey online through fast, reliable, and thoughtfully designed web systems.

Reporting to Menan Sub, Chief Technology Officer, you’ll partner closely with the Engineering Manager responsible for the website to drive architectural decisions, guide long-term technical strategy, and help scale systems. Just as importantly, you’ll play a hands-on role in elevating the capabilities of the broader engineering team through setting a high bar for technical excellence.

This role is for someone who is capable of going deep and getting hands-on with complex systems, but who understands that their greatest impact comes from being a multiplier by enabling others through technical mentorship and leadership.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide deep technical leadership on Cozey’s customer-facing websites (cozey.ca and cozey.com), shaping architecture, development patterns, and system design.
• Collaborate closely with the Engineering Manager for the website team to support the growth and development of engineers through technical mentorship.
• Drive the evolution of our web platform, ensuring strong foundations for scalability, maintainability, and performance.
• Champion best practices in performance, accessibility, reliability, and user experience to deliver fast, consistent, and high-quality customer interactions.
• Partner cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering teams to ship impactful features and continuously improve the digital experience.
• Contribute to the definition and adoption of shared practices, tooling, and frameworks that enable efficient and high-quality development.
• Influence Cozey’s engineering culture and long-term technical direction by modeling excellence, curiosity, and a bias for thoughtful execution.
