Job Description: About the Role
As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a hands-on technical leader, expected to write production code daily while driving architectural decisions and technical excellence across our stack. You will be a key force in scaling our platform, solving complex problems, and ensuring our engineering team follows best practices.

You are an expert in your craft—someone who can dive deep into both frontend and backend challenges, mentor other engineers, and help set the technical direction of our product. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and have an extreme bias toward execution. While you won’t have direct reports, your influence will be critical in guiding the team and ensuring we build a scalable, high-performance product.

What You’ll Do

Own the end-to-end development of key product features, from database models to UI components.

Serve as a technical leader and drive best practices across the engineering team.

Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and improving development workflows.

Collaborate with product and design teams to translate complex requirements into scalable solutions.

Architect and optimize our systems for performance, scalability, and maintainability.

Champion best practices in code quality, testing, and continuous integration/deployment.

Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in both technical architecture and team processes.

Lead large releases to production on a continuous deployment cadence.
