Staff Software Engineer

Staff Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for a Staff Engineer to set technical direction across multiple services and teams. You'll be a force multiplier — driving architecture, raising engineering standards, leading complex cross-team initiatives, and mentoring senior engineers. This is a senior IC role for a deeply technical engineer who shapes how the organization builds software and whose design judgment others adopt.

What You'll Do

• Drive architecture and technical direction across multiple services and teams.
• Lead complex, cross-cutting initiatives — migrations, modernization, and platform/system evolution.
• Own reliability and performance at scale; make high-leverage engineering decisions and tradeoffs.
• Raise engineering standards through design docs, standards, and reviews that others adopt.
• Mentor senior engineers and influence technical strategy beyond a single team.
• Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders on technical roadmaps.

What We're Looking For

• 8–12 years of software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership.
• Experience driving architecture and technical direction across multiple services or teams.
• Cross-team influence: platform/system evolution and raising engineering standards.
• Deep distributed systems and cloud-native architecture expertise; strong engineering judgment.
• Demonstrated impact on multi-team technical direction, migrations/modernization, and reliability/performance.
• A history of mentoring senior engineers and producing standards and design docs that others adopt.
• A degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related engineering field is preferred but not required — we weight work outcomes most heavily.

Nice to Have

• AI platform architecture experience.
• Agentic systems / LLM infrastructure experience.
