Staff Software Engineer

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to tackle the company’s most complex, ambiguous, and high-impact technical challenges across products and teams. This role is designed for a strong individual contributor who combines deep technical judgment with strong leadership instincts and thrives in messy, high-stakes problem spaces. You should bring experience taking on undefined problems, driving solutions end-to-end, and raising the technical bar across an organization.

What You'll Do

• Build: Design, architect, and implement solutions to the hardest technical problems facing the company, whether that’s performance bottlenecks, data correctness issues, system scalability, architectural debt, or cross-cutting platform concerns.
• Lead: Act as a technical leader across teams by setting standards, influencing architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and improving engineering practices.
• Partner: Work closely with product, design, and domain experts to translate unclear or evolving requirements into robust technical solutions. You’ll help teams make smart tradeoffs and build systems that are flexible, reliable, and easy to evolve.

Who You Are

• Collaborative. You collaborate well across teams, can distill and incorporate feedback, and communicate clearly and concisely
• Product Vision. You have a full understanding of how to identify the true needs of the user through research, build through a user-centric lens, and create elegant and functional experiences. You have a relentless product mindset that drives you not only to contribute to engineering execution, but to plan, design, implement, and test features to perfect the user experience
• Leader. You're eager to shape our technical foundation and will level up team practices and processes. You can take broad guidance and determine the best path forward. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable wearing multiple hats
• Strategic. You see both the forest and the trees: think big picture, execute fine details. You can plan for the long term while navigating short-term tradeoffs
• Deeply Technical. You'll work on systems that process millions of records in near real-time, requiring thoughtful approaches to data pipelines, caching strategies, and distributed processing. Our challenges focus on optimizing complex calculations and ensuring responsive user experiences while handling substantial data volumes
