Principal Engineering Consultant

Daemon’s all about helping people use technology to make the world a better place. We love building trusted partnerships with our clients, and helping them embrace the tech that can make their business better. For that we need our people to embrace the Daemon way – doing great work in a great place, with diverse talents, all united by our shared values.

We’re looking for tech heroes with the va-va-voom to help us unite teams behind one vision, empower their potential, and inspire them with our One Team spirit.

The aim is to get everyone to the future faster. By turning teams into the movements that power digital transformation.

What we do

Our core set of client-centric solutions are designed to smash client’s problems and make tech work harder for them. They include :

• Cloud adoption, migration and optimisation, including performance engineering
• Data, ML and AI enablement

We tie this all together with a little thing we call ‘delivery excellence’, backed up with performance engineering, DevOps, and design thinking. And lashings of Daemonite energy, of course…

What to expect

You’ll be a member of the Daemon Engineering team, pushing to win work on exciting, challenging and rewarding projects with some famous brands. Working hand-in-glove with high-performing teammates, you’ll develop personally and professionally, surrounded by superhero consultants digging deep to deliver together.

We’re looking for a Principal Consultant with a strong background in technology, proficient in multiple languages, tools and technologies. You’ll be comfortable leading teams, as well as holding conversations with clients up to and including C-Level.

We need someone who gets a kick out of working in a fast-paced environment, potentially overseeing more than one project, and acting as technical oversight for those projects.

About you

You’re an excellent spoken and written communicator, comfortable working with senior and C-level stakeholders. You lead by example : you’re pragmatic and productive but also creative. You’ve got the beans to motivate teams of all sizes and manage development plans for yourself and others, knowing which areas to focus on to keep things moving.

You actively shape / own a domain community, whether that’s blogging, events or webinars. You have an entrepreneurial mindset that means you look for opportunities wherever you think you can dig them up, and you take pride in leaving everything you touch better than you found it.

Matching your values with ours

Our values affect everything we do – and yours will too. So we’ll need you to have integrity (of course) and be a passionate, approachable pragmatist who’s always looking for ways to shake things up.

Your responsibilities

You’ll be responsible for a wide range of activities including :

Your experience

Tooling and tech

More about Daemon life

We’ve been powering digital transformations since 2007, when Calum Fitzgerald and Steve Bennett first founded Daemon Solutions. Now, we’re up to 160+ Daemonites, beavering away on the tech visions that’ll make all the difference for our clients – who include quite a few names you’ll know.

We live and work by our values – in everything we do, we work with integrity, and we’re approachable, pragmatic, progressive and passionate. Because we know that fostering shared values and a One Team spirit can be contagious. We’re out to create movements.

Because movements power digital transformation.

Smells like One Team spirit

We’re all about the energy that comes from confidence, camaraderie and a shared purpose. About unearthing the full potential of every engagement, to inspire and empower our clients, and leave them stronger than when we arrived.

So we empower you to deliver, with an open, honest culture where you can be yourself. And we give you mentoring, training, and plenty of scope for collaboration. Because we also want Daemon to be all about you.

But it’s not all work, work, work – we’re always finding excuses to get together, with regular socials, clubs and team lunches. When the time is right we throw seasonal parties, with gifts from us for everyone, and awesome extras. Like the Daemon FestDVal : we invite you, your friends and family (and dogs) to fool around with silly stuff like a drum workshop, laser tag and bouncy castles, listen to live music, and stuff yourselves with jerk chicken, veggie curry and donuts. Nice!

Training and development

We love it when Daemonites want to get certified in new or existing technologies. Not only will we pay for you to do it – there might even be a bit of a bonus in it for you. We also make sure that you get internal training on the new products you need.

You’ll get the chance to work with enterprise clients on different types of engagements, so you can hone your fabulous skill set and get to grips with all the latest tech.

Plus you’ll find :

We pride ourselves in being a consultancy with a difference. We actively look to help shape and frame the career paths of our consultants, whether you are at the start of your career in technology or looking to diversify and re-train.
