We are looking for a
Senior Staff Software Engineer
who thrives on solving complex problems and leading engineering excellence. In this role, you’ll be responsible for designing and building scalable, observable, and resilient systems across our platform. You’ll play a key leadership role across engineering teams, not only by writing robust code but by raising the bar for engineering culture, practices, and technical standards.
Key Responsibilities
Scalability & Performance : Architect and build systems that scale effectively with growth in usage and data.
Observability (O11y) : Ensure all services have built-in monitoring, logging, and tracing from the start — not as an afterthought.
Resilience & Fault Tolerance : Design for failure. Build systems that recover gracefully and continue operating under stress.
Best Practices & Automation : Champion clean architecture, static analysis, automated testing (unit, integration, E2E), CI/CD, and secure coding practices.
Engineering Culture : Foster a high-performance engineering culture with strong code quality, knowledge sharing, and accountability.
Mentorship & Leadership : Provide technical guidance and mentorship across teams. Influence architecture and engineering practices beyond your immediate team.
Full-Stack Ownership : Own features end-to-end — from backend services to frontend experiences, with deep understanding of distributed systems and system design.
Security & Compliance : Incorporate security best practices into all layers of the development lifecycle.
Requirements
All-in, "skin in the game"full dedication. You have one of the strongest ownership and communication skills.
We are looking for a person who gives "a shit"
12+ years of experience building and scaling backend and full-stack systems.
Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architecture, and data consistency models.
Strong knowledge of observability tools (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).
Hands-on experience with designing fault-tolerant systems, retries, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation strategies.
Proficient in at least one modern language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or TypeScript) and related frameworks.
Proven experience driving engineering quality — including static code analysis, TDD/BDD, and automated test strategies.
Experience mentoring and leading other senior engineers.
Excellent communication skills and ability to drive alignment across stakeholders.
Nice to Have
Experience with container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), service meshes, and cloud-native architecture.
Prior experience with platform teams or internal tooling.
Open-source contributions or technical writing.
