About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Staff Software Engineer with deep expertise in React on the frontend and Python/Django on the backend. You’ll help build and scale high-performing applications used by global teams, with a strong focus on delivering an exceptional user experience. As a Senior Staff Engineer, you will own organization-wide technical initiatives.

What We’re Looking For
  • 6+ years full-stack engineering experience

  • Strong React skills — modern React (hooks, Context API), reusable component libraries, building robust web apps across multiple projects

  • Strong Python/Django expertise — Django + Django Rest Framework, designing and consuming REST APIs

  • Solid experience in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS

  • Experience building scalable systems (race conditions, idempotency, backpressure)

  • Strong SQL knowledge with relational databases (postgres)

  • Unit + integration testing mindset (Jest/React Testing Library, pytest/unittest)
    Comfortable with Git and Agile workflows

  • A strong, demonstrable commitment to developing secure software, including the ability to identify, defend against, and mitigate common application security vulnerabilities, especially those related to the OWASP Top 10.

Bonus Skills (Nice-to-Haves)
  • State management (Redux, Zustand, Thunk)
    Responsive design with Material-UI, Bootstrap, or Tailwind

  • Cloud + infra experience: GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform
    Messaging/queueing systems (Pub/Sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)

  • SOLID design principles

What You’ll Do
  • Lead development of React-based UIs that are performant, scalable, and user-friendly

  • Build and maintain Python/Django REST APIs and backend services

  • Collaborate on architecture, design decisions, and code reviews

  • Maintain and improve test coverage across the stack

  • Debug, resolve technical debt, and improve code quality

  • Contribute to technology/tooling choices and best practices
    Mentor teammates and help shape engineering processes

What We Offer
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance.

  • 401k match with immediate vesting.

  • Generous Paid time off: vacation, holidays, sick, and parental leave.

  • A diverse, collaborative, and positive culture where we invest in and celebrate each other’s success.

Flexible work environment where we work hard but have fun (happy hours, team projects, and retreats).
