Staff Full Stack Software Engineer

Overview

We're looking for a Staff Engineer who combines deep technical judgment with strong product instincts, and who is energized by applying modern AI tooling to accelerate both their own work and the broader team's output. At this level, you'll drive technical direction across teams and help define the engineering culture at Binti.

What You'll Do

• Own cross-team technical strategy for major platform areas — setting direction on architecture, reliability, and scalability, not just within your squad but across engineering
• Lead complex, multi-quarter infrastructure and architectural initiatives from design through delivery, coordinating dependencies across teams
• Define and champion engineering standards and patterns that make the codebase more flexible, scalable, and maintainable for all engineers
• Partner closely with Product, Policy, and Technical Account Management to shape roadmap decisions with strong technical and product perspective
• Identify and resolve systemic risks — including security, HIPAA compliance, performance bottlenections, and incident response — before they become problems
• Raise the technical ceiling for the whole engineering org through code review, design critique, and modeling excellent judgment
• Proactively leverage AI and modern tooling to drive higher output quality and team efficiency

Sample Projects

• Architect a reusable, configurable platform layer for scheduling and application requirements that scales across dozens of distinct agency workflows nationwide
• Design the data model and engineering plan for representing complex, non-biological human relationships across the platform
• Lead the cross-team technical design for transferring applications between agencies with variable permission and workflow configurations
• Spearhead development of new product areas like child intake and community crisis response, defining the engineering foundation others build on

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated track record leading large-scale infrastructure and architectural projects across multiple teams or systems
• Ability to set technical direction, not just execute on it — including navigating ambiguity, making principled trade-offs, and bringing others along
• Deep experience building and maintaining configurable, enterprise-grade systems; government-facing software experience is a strong plus
• Product orientation — you think about user impact and business outcomes, not just technical elegance
• Excellent communication skills: you can distill complex technical decisions for product, engineering, and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience mentoring and elevating senior engineers, and a genuine investment in team culture
• Fluency applying AI tools in your own workflow and excitement about building AI-powered product features
