Staff Software Engineer

We are seeking an accomplished Staff Software Engineer to provide technical leadership and deep architectural expertise across our engineering organization. This is a highly influential role for a senior technologist who will drive system-wide improvements, define engineering standards, and guide teams in building scalable, performant, and future-ready software.

Role Overview

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of architecture, implementation, and mentorship. You will tackle complex, high-impact technical challenges, influence long-term architectural direction, and ensure that our systems remain reliable and adaptable as we scale. This role goes beyond feature development — it’s about shaping the technical foundation and engineering culture of the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Strategy & Architecture: Lead the design and evolution of major system components and services, ensuring solutions align with business priorities and non-functional requirements such as scalability, security, and resilience.

• Engineering Standards: Define, document, and advocate for best practices in coding, architecture, testing, and deployment across multiple teams.

• Hands-on Problem Solving: Engage directly with complex technical issues, unblocking teams and contributing to the resolution of system-wide challenges.

• Mentorship & Leadership: Coach and mentor senior engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting a culture of excellence and ownership.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Operations, and Engineering leaders to align on technical strategy and execution for large-scale initiatives.

Essential Requirements

• Experience: 10+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven record operating at the Staff, Principal, or equivalent senior technical level.

• System Design: Deep expertise in architecting and scaling distributed systems and cloud-native applications.

• Technical Breadth: Strong proficiency across multiple layers of the technology stack and familiarity with modern cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• Leadership & Influence: Ability to drive architectural decisions, influence engineering direction, and elevate standards across teams without direct management authority.

• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; adept at explaining complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation package.

• A remote-first, collaborative engineering culture.

• The opportunity to shape the architecture and engineering practices of a fast-scaling technology platform.

• A chance to solve technically challenging problems with long-term or
