Job Description:
Wells Fargo is seeking a Principal Engineer (Governance, Risk, Compliance & Control) to join the Enterprise Functions Technology Organization. The Enterprise Functions Technology (EFT) group provides technology solutions and support for Risk, Audit, Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Corporate Properties, and Stakeholder Relations business lines. In addition, EFT provides unique technology solutions and innovation for Wells Fargo Technology, Enterprise Shared Services, and Enterprise Data Management. This combined portfolio of applications and tools are purpose built to meet the challenges of stability, security, scalability, and speed. This role is a deeply hands‑on senior engineering position focused on building, fixing, and evolving large‑scale systems that support risk management. The individual is expected to work directly in the codebase, prototype solutions, troubleshoot complex issues alongside engineers, and step in to resolve problems when they arise. Rather than operating at a purely theoretical level, this role emphasizes practical execution—applying the right technology to the problem and delivering working solutions. While remaining hands‑on, the role also influences technical direction by guiding solution design, driving key engineering decisions, and promoting reusable patterns and best practices across the organization. The role partners closely with engineers, providing coaching through real-world problem solving. Core technologies include Java and React, with minimal .NET, and growing use of modern AI tooling such as agent development, model integration, and prompt engineering, with openness to continued learning and AI certifications.
