Your Role as a Staff Engineer
About the Role
We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to provide technical leadership within a product engineering team while remaining deeply hands-on. This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, shaping technical direction, and building high-quality software alongside the team.
You'll influence architecture, establish engineering standards, mentor other engineers, and own the long-term technical health of our platform. While you'll lead technically, this is not a people management role—your impact comes through engineering excellence, collaboration, and technical decision-making.
