Engineers who can explain Rust to a skeptic and still ship by Friday tend to thrive in our Principal Software Engineer role in Knoxville. Here $128,000 - $181,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the technology work, the kind Consulting Edge trusts principal people to steer.

Consulting Edge is less a vendor and more a proudly-nerdy Knoxville, TN workshop where Scrum and Rust get the attention they deserve. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.
The headline reads $128,000 - $181,000; the fine print is all upside, mentorship, benefits, and freedom to grow your Flexibility.
Just re-listed with today's date, the technology role is fully active.
