Staff Engineer

The Opportunity

:
As a Staff Software Engineer, you won't be confined to a single product area. You’ll be a versatile technical leader whose impact spans multiple critical domains across our platform.
You’ll drive the design, development, and operational excellence of large-scale systems wherever the business needs your expertise most. This role is ideal for a hands-on architect who can bridge the gap between architectural vision and low-level code implementation in a hyper-growth environment.

What you'll be doing every day:

1. Technical Leadership & System Design

• Lead the design and architecture of major features and complex, high-impact projects, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with long-term strategy.
• Create and review both High-Level Design (HLD) documents (system architecture, component interaction, data flow) and Low-Level Design (LLD) specifications (API contracts, class design, database schemas).
• Proactively identify and address technical debt, advocating for and leading strategic technical roadmaps across multiple engineering teams.
• Serve as a technical Subject Matter Expert (SME), troubleshooting and resolving complex production issues across distributed systems.
  

2. Cloud Proficiency & DevOps

• Demonstrate strong proficiency in one major cloud platform (AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)), leveraging IaaS and PaaS services to design and deploy resilient, cost-optimized infrastructure.
• Exhibit solid working knowledge of containerization and orchestration technologies, particularly Kubernetes and Docker, for scalable deployment and management.
• Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, contributing to DevOps best practices.
• Implement and champion Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.


3. Engineering Excellence & Mentorship

• Write production-ready, high-performance, well-tested, and maintainable code in a primary language (e.g., Python, Go, Java, C#, or similar).
• Conduct comprehensive code and design reviews to maintain architectural integrity and high code quality.
• Mentor and coach senior and mid-level engineers on system design, complex problem-solving, and engineering best practices.
  

What you bring to the table:

• Minimum 5+ years of progressive experience in software development, with a proven track record in designing and delivering large-scale distributed systems.
• Strong ability to create, articulate, and defend detailed HLD and LLD documentation.
• Proficiency in one major cloud platform (AWS or GCP) with hands-on experience in cloud services.
• Strong programming experience in Python, Go, Java, or C#.
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes, including deployments, services, and cluster management fundamentals.
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and Infrastructure as Code.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction across teams.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).


Desired / Preferred Qualifications:

• Relevant professional cloud certification (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect/Developer, Google Professional Cloud Architect/Developer, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)).
• Experience designing and building microservices and event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Prior experience in a formally designated Staff or Principal Engineer role.
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
