Staff Engineer

About the role

We've built a financial empowerment platform that helps businesses of all sizes make a real impact on employee financial wellness, and the systems you architect here directly power that mission. We're looking for a Staff Developer who genuinely cares about building things well. You'll take on the hardest technical problems, champion best practices, and bridge the gap between where our systems are today and where they need to be as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain scalable, secure software architectures aligned with business goals, resulting in robust and reliable systems
• Introduce and implement best practices around Object-Oriented (OO), Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and microservices where appropriate
• Use AI to streamline processes, reduce friction, and give time back to developers for the work that matters
• Implement and enforce coding standards and best practices, driving measurable improvements in code quality and maintainability
• Conduct regular code reviews with feedback that meaningfully reduces bug counts and improves software performance
• Facilitate clear communication between development teams, product managers, and other stakeholders to keep projects aligned
• Use data as your north star - leverage application data, third-party data, and our data warehouse to analyze and solve problems around both product impact and performance
• Participate in our agile development process: sprint planning, story grooming, and standups
• Champion our SDLC and secure coding practices across everything you ship

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience with Ruby on Rails
• A mastery of fundamentals: solid coding principles, domain-driven design, performant code and queries, unit and integration testing
• Experience leading projects involving scale, concurrency, queuing, background processing, and efficient ingestion of third-party data
• A security mindset: OWASP, secure development, and SOC-2 processes
• Experience deploying resources outside of app dev (AWS, RDS, queues, serverless)
• Track record of using AI to simplify workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and shift focus toward meaningful work
• Strong data engineering skills: complex SQL queries, optimization, ETL
• Comfortable working across data warehouse and analytics tooling to surface insights, track down errors, and inform performance improvements

Qualifications

• Think you have what it takes, but not sure you check every box? Apply to the role anyways. We’d love to talk and determine together whether you could be a great fit!
