Who are we

Ignite is the leading procurement & supplier intelligence platform, built to give companies complete visibility and control over their spend and suppliers. Since 2017, we've grown into a 50+ person team empowering procurement teams to move faster, act confidently, and make meaningful progress.

We're a vibrant mix of individuals — from marathon runners and musicians to bakers, bookworms, and football players — united by a shared mission: to build a platform that solves real challenges and helps procurement teams do their best work.

We're customer-obsessed and believe that by working together, we can develop innovative solutions and turn big ambitions into reality.

One team. One dream.

Who you are

We're looking for a
Principal Engineer
— a hands-on technical leader who raises the bar for how we design, build, and operate software.

You're deeply technical and decisive, but equally focused on clarity, reliability, and helping teams make good choices.

You think across boundaries, connecting product intent to sound architecture, and know when to zoom in to code or zoom out to patterns that span teams.

You work closely with the Head of Engineering and senior engineers across Ignite to strengthen technical judgment, engineering practices, and long-term direction.

You likely have:

  • 8+ years of experience building and operating modern cloud-based products.
  • Proven ability to drive technical direction and influence teams through reasoning and example — not authority.
  • Experience designing, scaling, and evolving distributed systems in production.
  • A strong product mindset — you care
    why
    we build something as much as
    how
    .
  • A habit of improving the environment you work in: tools, standards, and shared understanding.

What you will be doing

  • Build and ship.
    Stay hands-on in production code, solving complex problems and modeling disciplined delivery.
  • Shape and simplify.
    Anticipate cross-team challenges, define clear patterns, and make systems easier to understand and evolve.
  • Strengthen engineering practice.
    Work with the Head of Engineering to lift technical standards, judgment, and reliability across the organization.
  • Guide by example.
    Pair, review, and mentor experienced engineers to help them grow their impact and confidence.
  • Collaborate deeply.
    Partner with product and design to turn customer insight into practical, scalable solutions.

Our stack

  • Frontend: React micro frontends
  • Backend: Golang and TypeScript micro-services
  • Infrastructure: Serverless on Google Cloud Run and Cloud Functions
  • Storage: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and event-driven pipelines

What we offer

A fast-paced environment where you take ownership, ship meaningful work, and shape how we build.

Competitive salary and bonus program

Learning budget for personal growth and development

Health insurance and subsidized gym membership

Opportunity to buy shares and take part in our journey

Brand new, centrally located offices in Kvadraturen

Regular social events: hikes, saunas, Friday beers, Summer & Christmas parties
