Staff Engineer, Tech Lead

About the Role

You will lead the design and implementation of complex, scalable, and performant software systems as a hands-on contributor on roadmap-critical work.

You will manage, mentor, coach, and grow ~4 engineers through weekly 1:1s, clear goals, direct feedback, performance reviews, and career planning.

You will own delivery for your projects end-to-end — scoping, sequencing, and shipping with Product and Design partners.

You will lead technical discussions, design reviews, and code reviews to ensure engineering excellence.

You will contribute to cross-team engineering practices (e.g. code review, incident response, and planning) beyond your own team.

You will collaborate across distributed teams using Slack, documentation, and video calls.

You will adapt to evolving business needs while maintaining focus on delivering user value.
