Staff Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Own the technical roadmap for your team's product domain, aligning engineering plans with product goals, business priorities, and org-level architecture decisions.
• Lead system design and architectural reviews for complex, high-impact features, making clear, well-reasoned decisions on trade-offs between performance, scalability, reliability, and cost.
• Define and enforce engineering standards: coding conventions, design patterns, API contracts, and documentation practices.
• Proactively identify and address technical debt, prioritizing remediation alongside feature delivery without compromising velocity.
• Evaluate and introduce new technologies, frameworks, and tools that meaningfully improve team productivity or product quality.
• Represent the team's technical perspective in cross-team architecture discussions, design councils, and platform strategy forums.
• Drive end-to-end delivery of large, complex features from requirements decomposition through design, implementation, testing, and production rollout.
• Break down ambitious product goals into well-scoped, executable engineering tasks; provide and validate accurate effort estimates.
• Remove technical blockers proactively, escalating to leadership and cross-functional partners when necessary to keep delivery on track.
• Own release quality for your team's codebase: establish and oversee code review standards, testing coverage expectations, and deployment practices.
• Manage technical scope creep and communicate risks and dependency changes early to product and engineering leadership.
• Act as the technical point of contact for your squad, translating product requirements into engineering plans and surfacing technical risks to non-technical stakeholders clearly.
• Drive alignment between your team's engineering roadmap and those of dependent teams, proactively managing upstream and downstream dependencies.
• Collaborate with product managers during roadmap planning, sprint reviews, and backlog grooming to ensure engineering constraints and opportunities are well-understood.
• Champion a culture of technical excellence, leading by example in code quality, documentation, testing, and engineering discipline.
• Evangelize platform and tooling improvements that benefit not just your squad but the broader engineering organization.
• Facilitate technical knowledge-sharing within and across teams: run internal tech talks, write architecture decision records (ADRs), and maintain living documentation.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field from a recognized institution.
• Minimum 7 years of professional software development experience in a product-based engineering organization.
• At least 3-4 years in a senior or tech-lead SDE capacity with demonstrated ownership of system design and end-to-end feature delivery.
