Staff Software Development Engineer
Role
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our team. This is a hybrid role based in Bangalore, reporting to the Sr. Director of Software Engineering in the platform convergence department. In this role, you will design and scale high-performance backend services to drive the evolution of our converged platform. You will collaborate across teams to build robust distributed systems while mentoring engineers to uphold technical excellence.
What you'll do (Role Expectations)
Designing and implementing scalable, high-performance backend services and APIs using Go, integrating with databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis
Writing and maintaining unit, integration, and performance tests to ensure code quality while monitoring, debugging, and optimizing system performance
Mentoring junior engineers, fostering their growth and success, and actively participating in code reviews to uphold best practices
Collaborating with external teams to deliver integrated solutions and ensure seamless system functionality
Contributing to Agile/Scrum processes, including sprint planning and retrospectives, to drive project success
Who You Are (Success Profile)
You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback-knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
What We're Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
5+ years of experience, with proficiency coding in Go (Golang), including strong expertise in concurrency, parallelism, GRPC, Protobuf, net/http, and TLS
Skilled in building large-scale distributed systems, RESTful API design, and working with web frameworks like Gin and Echo
Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and version control tools like Git
Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases, CI/CD pipeline implementation, and exceptional problem-solving skills for designing robust solutions
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
Experience integrating LLM APIs, vector databases, or AI orchestration frameworks directly into high-performance Go microservices to optimize data-driven capabilities
Experience with systems languages like Rust or C/C++, particularly in performance-critical environments
